San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

14 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW April io, 1909 Henry E. Dixey s Magical Art Henry E. Dixey, who captivates his audiences, is a magician, and toured one season in a repertoire of tricks as clever as the great Hermann ever executed. As a contrast to the delightful entertainment he is now furnishing in Mary Jane's Pa, here is a little story Dixey relates of .an experience that befell him as a magician. Mr. Dixey, one should know, is a tremendously versatile actor, whose scope of ability include? a first-class knack at sleight of hand, or legerdemain. Some time ago he found himself before a rural audience of his own choosing, and his portion of the entertainment consisted of palming watches. He borrowed a timepiece from an individual of the audience. The contributed watch came from a good looking country boy, and when in the progress of the trick Mr. Dixey pretended to drop the borrowed property to find the timepiece shattered into small bits, the country boy burst into tears. This unusual episode induced Mr: Dixey to ask the cause, and thereupon the boy explained that the watch was the gift of his dead mother, and he could not bear to be deprived of it in that sort of fashion. The sight of the crying boy appealed to Mr. Dixey and he immediately handed the child his watch, which of course, he had successfully palmed, having substituted a fake watch for the borrowed one to accomplish the trick. But, of course, the experiment failed, with the bov's tears. Mr. Dixey declared never before had an occurrence of that sort appeared to his notice. GEORGE Bakek, the Portland manager, was in town last week hobnobbing with Walter Hoff Seeley of the Valencia.
