: ANNOUNCEMENTS. I
In tho Inst act of "Carmen" as pro
duced by Koealid Monifon, is given an
actual bull light lusting fifteen minutes
without cessation. Thirty cars ago tho
man who dreamed of talking over f(K)
miles of wire would havo been liughed
at. Still today telephone is in universal
uso throughout tho civilized world. Tho
same wonderlul inventive gift is mani
fest in tho Eidoloscope. This instru
ment is to the eye, what tho tilephono
is to tho ear. It annihilates epace, it
places beforo tho eye incidents that
transpired hundreds and thousm 8 of
miles distant. Tho principle involved in
tho operation of tho Eidoloscope is sim
ple, but the actual oporation and con
struction is complicated and intricated.
MORRISON AS "CARMEN."
The object or event to be reproduced is
brought within the range of the camera's
lens. A sensitive film is fed from a
spool and is fed before the exposed lens
by means of an electric molar which
permits the passage cf the tilm at a uni
form but amazing speed. The film
mares until a portion of it is exposed
sufficient to receive the amount of im
pression permitted by the radius of tho
lens. It stops to receive this impression,
an intinitesimal space of time. Still it
Btops and a revolving shutter excludes
the light while the next portion of the
film is being placed. This operation
continues until the entire incident has
been indelibly placed on the film. After
the tilm is developed it is placed in tho
Eidolescope. tho spool again unwinds
tho film and by the aid of a powerful
electric current the incident is project
ed by the wonderful instrument and re
produced exactly as it originally
occurred. In the bull fight which is
shown in Rosabel Morrison's pioJuction
of "Carmen" the possibilities of the
Eidoloscope are well exploited. Clouds
of dust kicked up by the bull hiding
htm fron sight and then rolling majes
tically away, make it hard to believe
hat the actual arena is not a tangible
reality. At the Funke one night, Mon
day, January 25th. Prices 81 75, 50 and
25 cents. Seats on sale Friday 10 a. m.

One of the most daring feats ever per
formed, in the history of magic and mys
tery, has just been perfected by Ban
croft, the magician, and will be exploit
ed by bin during his coming engage
ment here. In this startling act, the
magician will make use of a live lion,
one of the most ferocious beasts in the
country, as tho nature of the feat
demanded an animal of this description.
Tho lion is known as Wallacker. Ho
has been tho property of the John
Robinson Circue and is of such an un
tamable character that John Robinson

animal wherever it goes, and is there
fore at the present time travelling with
tho Bancroft organization.
