Of his shOw-that Is, If one takes IL for pre-

But there certainly is no humbuggery
about 1t. II is a high-class entertainment,
worth the price of admission. That being
true, the person who attends is not hum

going TO expose and explain so much of
the features Of the show as are decep-

engagement.
The bewildering feature of this peculiar
snow Is the somnOmanCy or clairvOyant
trance OF Mrs. Baldwin. Nothing like 10 has
