This 27 March 1909 programme from Sydney, Australia is of particular interest because it includes three magicians. The act of Mr G.W. Hunter, a name well known to magicians, was based not on magic but on his comedic and raconteur skills. Mr Cull Pitt (Frederic Culpitt) was a droll deceptionist assisted by Mdlle Adèle. Mdlle Aimée Désirée, was billed as La Sorcière in her magical sketch “Rival Wizards” assisted by Mr G.W. Hunter. In real life Hunter was her husband.
Programme for the Tivoli Theatre, Sydney including G.W. Hunter, Cull Pitt and Aimée Desirée
