SEE KERMANN, THE MASTER MAGICIAN
The Great Kermann is in town!—the master magician of the age. [[89]]
See him! See him! See him!
He makes tables disappear right before your very eyes.
The “Living Head,” the most baffling trick of modern magic—Kermann does it; actually carries the “Living Head” about the stage on a platter.
You will shiver; you will be mystified; you will laugh at the droll antics of the amazing “Living Head.”
A show for old and young.
We will give our first performance in Ashton to-night, on our magnificent floating theater, the Sally Ann, which will leave the central dock for a moonlight excursion down the canal at 8:30.
Enjoy the moonlight ride; hear the orchestrelle.
Admission, 15c. Children, 10c.

“Did you see ’em?” he inquired, excited.
“See who?”
“The Strickers.”
“What?” cried Scoop, staring.
