Adelaide, Queen of Magic

Margaret Steele's newest project is as writer and performer of a one-woman play, portraying the extraordinary life and magic of legendary Vaudeville magician, Adelaide Herrmann (1853-1932). Known as The Queen of Magic, Madame Herrmann was the wife and assistant of Alexander Herrmann, the greatest magician of the nineteenth century. Upon his sudden death in 1896, Adelaide continued on with his show and was herself a major star of magic for over thirty years. More info.
