JANSEN.

TO-NIGHT. Any fourth form schoolboy knows that two bodies cannot occupy the same space at tho same time; but a visit to Jansen, who will appear in tho Theatre Royal to-night will lead that boy and all others to think that such a feat may bo possible, and that one body can occupy two spaces at tho same time. 'Then, again, it is a. law that you cannot got anything from nothing. Jansen will get you anything you want from the surrounding atmosphere. Rabbits, guinea pips, donkeys, flowers, and fruit, ribbons and laces are produced at will from a void. Jansen is not only a perfect illusionist, but a perfect conjuror. Tho Sydney Herald says, “Never has Sydney been treated to such a performance of mystifying illusions. Not a moment was wasted.” Eor three weeks Jansen and his brilliant American entertainers packed the Criterion Theatre in Sydney, and on their return season packed the Palace Theatre for twelve nights. Tho box plan for to-night’s performance is at Collier’s. Day sales aro procurable there also.

to-night, from a packing case supplied by Collier’s Music Warehouse, and novr on view at their store, Miss Edna Herr will undertake to escape at the performance after being securely nailed inside it. Jansen’s new artists include Leslie A. Bates, eccentric comedian ; Miss Addio Montague, premier danscuse and soubrette; and Madamo Leona, tho veiled prophetess.
