ENTERTAINMENTS.
MAJESTIC THEATRE. The Paramount production, “Illusion” has in its cast a giant 7ft 4in tall, a fat woman weighing 400 pounds, and a little lady who is but 3ft llin tall and weighs 45 pounds. Albert Wolffe is the giant. He and his brother Fred are the same height. They were born in Colorado, and have no explanation for their Woolworth propensities unless it be the altitude of the Rocky Mountain State. Anna Magruder is the fat woman She is sft llin tall and weighs just one-fiftli of a ton. She comes from a “big family,” she says. Harriett Sinker, the midget, is a perfect miniature: in fact, she lias never exhibited herself before the public until this opportunity to break into motion pictures came. The freaks are employed in a circus sequence of “Illusion” which features Charles (Buddy) Rogers and Nancy Carroll, and which will be shown to-night and to-morrow night.
