THE SENSATION OF THE AGE. “SIDNEY DAN.” The management have pleasure in presenting on Wednesday the big theatre attraction, “Sidney Dan,” the world’s fastest escapologist, the man who eats glass, stones, tacks, etc. "Sidney Dan” is the wonder of the age, commonly called the human vyce. He bends bars of iron in his teeth, has huge stones weighing 2cwt. broken with 141 b. hammers on his chest. His escapes from handcuffs and straitjackets have baffled police officials the world over. The Sydney “Sun” says:—“A startling novelty. He left the audience at Fuller’s last night gasping with amazement.” Then comes the big picture attraction, “Roaring Rails,” starring Harry Carey. The story of a great love that was born on the battlefields of Europe, and ripened on the battlefields of Life. A thrilling train collision, the dynamiting of a trestle, a raging forest fire, and two of the best fights ever staged for a camera — you'll experience new kinds of spine tingles when you sec Harry Carey in “Roaring Rails.” Special music, usual prices. Note: “Sidney Dan” will give a street demonstration in front of the Post Office next Wednesday at 12 noon. He will defy death by misadventure. He will be strapped in a strait-jacket and placed in front of an oncoming motor car. He will escape from the jacket before the car reaches him—otherwise, ye gods, what a thrill! Watch for him, the world’s fastest escapologist, at 12 noon opp. Post Office on Wednesday.
