The Palace, New York

(Reviewed Saturday Afternoon, October 11)

Cardini, the Prestidigitator, who improves at a compound inerest pace every time we catch him, had them virtually transfixed under the spell of his gorgeous employmet of sleight-of-hand. He has not changed his routine considerably, but there are more and better twists to his uncanny manipulation of illusive cards, billiard balls and cigaret butts. Cardini is grace and suavity personified and a credit to the magical fraternity. He concentrates on work and leaves a superabundance of gab to lesser lights of the black art battalion. When he took the bows one might have thought by the clamor Al Jolsen paid the house another visit.
