Wednesday, Dec. 15th, the three
Herrmanns will appear at the Denison
opera house. They are the nephews of
the great magician who died a year ago.
They have created a great sensation and
1 said to be as clever as their great
uncle, "Herrmann the Great.” The
transmission from one generation to an-
other In the same family of some peculiar
gift or faculty has never been more
strikingly illustrated than In the Herr-
mann family. For several generations
back, without break, In consecutive suc-
cession, the Herrmann* have been con-
spicuous and world-ianed as master* of
the impenetrable mysteries which In
modem times delight theatre goers, but
which, In ancient days, were viewed with
religious awe when practiced by the magi
of the Persians.
Walker Whiteside will be at the Deni-
son opera house Dec. 14th. He will
play hi* greatest character, "Richelieu."
Mr. Whiteside’s first tour through th*
Sooth last season, beginning at Norfolk
and ending at Nashville, was on* long
list of triumph* and successes, both from
aa artistic as well a* a financial point of
view. With vary few exception* the
local managers tried every means availa-
ble to induce him to play a return date

be dosed to all newspapers that
print advertisement offering chance*

sucb.as missing letter word*, guess-
ing, etc. These swindle* have
been shown up almost ns often a*
the green goods business, but so
long a* they could advertise they
could always find new victims. A
psper that has to resort to such
tricks to secure circulation will not
be seriously missed.
John Wanamaker, who is one of
the heaviest and most unremitting
advertisers ever known, says his
method is simple: “My plan for
twenty years has been to boy so
much space in a newspaper and fill
it up as I wanted.” There are
many ways to advertise, but Mr.
Wanamaker sticks to one, and is
satisfied with it.
