ments are for the elite, and have been
attended by aristocratic audiences.
The lower strata can see the same
thing on Broadway, near Broome

tightly bound with ropes releasing
himself with a few contortions of the
body is in hourly progress. In fact,
the cabinet manifestations of the Da-
venport Brothers, the Fays, and 9TH

emily intelligent people are still led
astray by the claim of there being
something supernatural in such enter.
