17 Feb 1743:33 (740)
Joseph Barber is removed two doors from the house he
formerly lived in, and has a good new stable and year, and
as good entertainment for man and horse as ever.
  At said Barber's, at the Temple Bar, in Second-street,
Philad.  The Magick Lanthorn.
By which Friar Bacon, and other famous men, performed such
wonderful curiosities, as made the ignorant believe were
done by magic, conjuration or witchcraft, representing
upwards of 30 humorous and curious figures, larger than
life; to be seen every week day from 6 to 9 in the evening,
and on Market days, that the country as well as town may
partake of such an agreeable amusement, from 9 in the
morning till 9 at night, by six or more in company:  And
tho' it exceeds any thing of the kind ever shewn in this
province, the price is only six pence each.
  N.B.  It will be first shewn on Saturday the 29th of this
instant January.
