As in the past the magician
carries a menagerie of small animals and birds used in his mysteries and
illusions as a special treat for the children. In his spook or ghost show act
he promises sensational, weird effects offered by the world’s leading spirit
mediums. Featured in his company of girl assistants is his daughter, Francine,
Xylophone artist, who was in school when Lippincott last appeared in the Martin
Theatres.
He promises beautiful
costumes, special lighting effects and carries more than a ton of stage
