Farmer Where are the conjurers? mystery of the entertainment i is that of the mystery of vanishing themmakers. The ingenious, masters selves appear to be vanishing. Once upon a time conjuring had a permanent place among the entertainments of most cities and large towns, but that golden age for the art seems to have ended and the gentlemen who could produce rabbits from hats make graceful ladies vanish in of thin air.

It is an art which has suffered with our changing times; and while broadcasting has brought new opportunities to exponents of most other branches of public entertainment, it can do nothing for the wizards. There hope must rest on the future development of television. Meanwhile it is reported that for factory entertainments there is a growing desire for variants from dance bands.
crooners and the endless succession of imitators of famous stars. "Wanted a conjurer with a good repertoire of old and new tricks," was, indeed a recent advertisement. A hopeful sign to the wizards and to those who like the wizards' art. MOST AMAZING WIZARD The the conjurer's most performance all is probably ancient of amusement turns. One, Dedi, is the first conjurer of whom there is any record.
He performed about four thousand years before the Christian era. One trick of Dedi was to appear to cut off a head, and then to show the bird whole a few moments afterwards. Modern magicians have many variations of the same illusion, notably the watch which ought to have been shattered by a hammer but which is returned unscathed. One of the most baffling entertainments was provided by an eighteenth century juggler and conjurer who performed five times daily in Fleet Street tavern. the Duke of Marlborough's Head.
Among his performances he ate burning coals, chewed flaming brimstone, licked a red hot poker, kindled coals on his tongue and allowed them to be blown until could broil a piece of meat on them, and ate melted pitch and wax with a spoon. His astonishing show drew Royal patronage. Another conjurer of that period who must have enjoyed great popularity, if we can believe his last will and testament, was Isaac Fawkes who lies interred at St. Martin-in-the-Fields. He died worth ten thousand pounds and averred that it had honestly acquired by his dexterity.
Queen Victoria had rather rigid ideas about entertainment but approved of conjuring. Once she had a Command Performance by Professor Anderson, who received from the Lord Chamberlain a testimonial conveying Her Majesty's admiration of his extraordinary performance. This Professor-and most conjurers revelled in that self conferred title-used to travel heavy. He had a remarkable load of apparatus and "props. Yet possibly not more than Maskelyne, the Great Carmo, and later famous wizards have found essential to their monster pro- grammes.
THE MASTER JUGGLER Many recall the famous Paul Cinquevalli as one of the greatest jugglers the amusement world has known. but there was an element of "magic" in his act. One of his most startling turns was to have a forty-eight pound cannon ball thrown for him to catch on the edge of an ordinary dinner plate. Cinquevalli would juggle plates with one hand. keep a basin revolving on a stick with another, all the while keeping a lighted candle on his forehead, and a cigarette in his mouth which would be lighted at the candle even while he was balancing the plates and the basin.
King Edward VII was a keen admirer of Cinquevalli, and at Marlborough House insisted on providing some materials for his turns to assure himself that (Continued in next column). THEATRE ROYAL, BATH Phone 3700 THIS WEEK DORIES DAY. Friday, or for Season 2 p.m. TWICE DAILY 6.30 p.m. REG.

Somerset Badger Feast The historic "Badger Feast" at Ilchester, will be held as usual of on Boxing Day, in the snuggery the ancient Cow Inn. The feast, relic of feudal days, was formerly a secret rite in the woods at a rendezvous known only to poachers and deer stealers. Already the badger that will provide the tasty morsel for the feast has been "earthed," and on Boxing Day mine host of the Cow Inn will bring it forth properly dressed and skinned to be roasted on the spinning jack before the Every guest has to help to snuggery fire baste the badger or a fine.
The guests eat the dish hot with the aid of their penknives, and wash it down with brimming tankard of ale. Old drinking songs are sung. The fat from the badger is used by the superstitious country folk as ointment protect them against being "overlooked" and to ward off warts, "King's evil," rheumatism, and other afflictions.

is viewed with a distrustful eye. It was John Nevil Maskelyne who raised a conjuring ntertainment to the level of a public institution. For more thirty years magic at the Hall was a lure to visitors to London town, and from there transferred to the St. George's Hall where the tradition was maintained for many years. Maskelyne created a sensation by cutting and sawing through humans who would be seen soon afterwards--to the happly relief of the applauding crowds- quite safe and sound waving happily across the footlights.
His was the baffling trick whereby a young woman prone on a bench would seem to rise in mid-air without visible means of support; and the wizard would pass his hands over and around her to show there was "absolutely no deception, ladies and We may well regret the temporary eclipse of the fascinating arts of stage mystification. The late masters of mystery brought it to a remarkable pitch of elaboration and dexterity, which enabled them to provide the most versatile and absorbing of all "one man" shows. The demand for the revival of the show is therefore not surprising. PALACE THEATRE BATH 6.0 Next Week 8.0 Prince of Wales Theatre, don SUPER PRODUCTI( REVUE FRIVOLITIES Telephone Bath 216!
