McDonald birch, magician
An Evening cf Spectacular
and Awe-Inspiring Mystery
Some time must be set aside
from the daily routine of life for
a bit of clean pastime, if we would
be our best and do our best. Presi
dent Tapley must have realized this
when she included McDonald Birch,
the magician^ among our entertain
ment numbers. He was here Febru
ary 13.
Mr. Birch surely did know hu
man nature’s love for beauty for
he had the stage artistically decor
ated with Oriental looking purple
velvet. Realizing that this was in
complete without flowers and that
none had been supplied by the
school, he took up a very handsome
piece of cloth and, after shaking
it out, deposited, to the amage-
ment of all, a bunch of gorgeous
flowers on the floor.
He was a lover of his country
for his next performance was a
Hag with the stars and stripes,
made from three silk handker
chiefs, a red, a white and a blue
one, passed through what seemed
to be only a piece of newspaper.
These feats captivated the audi
ence and made them wonder v/hat
other mystery could be revealed
from the cloth and other ordinary
things on the stage.
The evening was indeed one of
spectacular and awe-inspiring
mystery” for there were continu
al peals of laughter and expres
sions of wonderment as one "pro
found magic after another was dis
played.
—Lillie M Simians.
