On the evening of October 2, Professor Edward Reno of Kankakee, Ill., exhibited a delightful performance of magic art in the college gymnasium. From the ve ry beginning Mr. Reno held his audience interested as well a s baffled. The stud ents a nd faculty members were co mpletely vexed and amazed at the tricks and ability wh ich Mr. R eno displayed. Professo r Re no has honored the college by appearing six tim es, each time presenting a show of an entirely different natu re. Hence we have only seen a s mall portion of the cleverness of Reno, the Magician. The Professor is one of a few who d isplays thi s art by th e use of hi s hands only. Mr. Reno does not apply any apparatus in aiding him to deceive t he public or in provi n g t hat old magic proverb t hat the hand is · quicker than the eye.'' Through earnest application and practice Professo r Reno has become a mag ician of national prornincnce in his profession. From a brief in terview Mr. Reno disclosed t hat he has appeared s uccessfully in many of th e leading cities of the United States, name ly, New York, Chicago, Cleveland and rnan y other places of note. Mr. Reno re lated furt her that he has appeared in fo r e ign co untries such as Paris, France, and New Zealand. The ability of Mr. Reno proved to be s uch a great drawing power that even royalty fou nd time to be present at the performances. There were many tricks of interest in the s ho w at the college but in parti cular th e water t ri ck is dese rving of much commendation. On the faee of it th ese tri cks looked to be simple but the cleverness of R eno prevented eve ryone from detecting his tricks. Professo r Bates, who is sk illed to a great ex tent in the a r t of magic, admilted that at times it was imp ossible to fo llow th e clever Mr. Reno. Outs ide the exce ption a l 3bility t o perform masterl y the tr icks of magi c, l\1 r. Reno in se rt ed at va riou s intervals bits of humor taht se r ved as an interlud e to r elieve the minds of his audience. These hum oro us remarks were rece ived with rnuch s a t isfaction on the part of those present. At the prese nt time l\'Ir . Reno is engnged in a vaud evill e tour und er the a uspices of the Redpath circuit. The Redpa th o. fou nd it of paramount importance to renew hi s cont r act since Professor Reno was in g r eat demand at ma ny leadin g cities throughout t he countr y. Tn regards to publicity Mr. Reno sa id thnt he was ne··cr neglected for he had r eceived countless w-rite-ups in nll lhc leadi n g newspaper s and maga zines t hroughout t h e co untry. uch pap rs as the hicago Da!ly T-ri bune , H era ld and E xnn1iner, N ew York Tim es and th e Chi cago E ve ning Po ~t re({ard cd hi s show as a n important item to be published for th ey wer{' well a ware th11t s uch news wa s inviting to the public at large. At tho close of th e perf ormance Professor Reno expressed his th a nks to all th o~e pregcnt for gi ving him thl•ir at tention dur i n~ t he co urse of tht· show.
