MAGIC AND MUDDLE.
A well-known illusionist’s assistant had to disappear from the stage, run around the corner from the stage door, and make his appearance in the front of the house. One week the illusionist was appearing in a town where the theatre was situated on a corner, but the entrance was several doors down the street. Between the entrance and the corner there was a small cinema theatre, which had a pretentious box-office. The assistant started from the stage door, rounded the corner, and, seeing the box-office of the cinema, mistook it for the entrance to his theatre. He pushed the ticket collector aside, fired a pistol, and shouted, “Here I am!” Then he discovered his mistake.
