Beginning Monday night at the Ciunle
Opera-house Sylvan A. Lee, with hyp-
notist assistants. begins a week OF lee
lures and illustrations in hypnotlsm.
Mr.. Lee claims to differ widely from al
other lecturers on this subject. He
seeks to disabuse the mind of the idea
that there is anything whatever mys-
terious or occult about hypnotism. he
claims that it is nothing more, nothing
less. than suggestion, the action OF
word, circumstance or scene upon the
mind, precisely as when one who reads
of certain symptoms as indicative Of
certain ills, he or she is apt in certain
conditions to think that the same
symptoms are experienced in his or her
case and to actually experience them.
He utterly discards the idea that any
one can control another against his will,
or compel him to do or not to do, if his
own inclination does not accord with
the suggestion. But he holds that the
inclination or desire may be created
by suggestion until one thinks he can
not do, or must perform an act Pro-
fessor Lee, in short, claims to prove
that hypnotism is common thing in
the natural order and capable of many
good uses, and that even more than
they think physicians themselves en-
ploy it. Lee was one of the expert wit
nesses in the famous Partisan trial for
murder, where it was sought to make
an accused person reveal by performing
an act similar to that laid in the crime.
But Professor Lee holds that all such
things as that are impossible. that all
the mysterious claims of that order are

Houston Post. December 7th: Since
1.-THE Winters Tale was produced in
1611 some of the greatest actresses the
world has ever known have assumed
one or the other of the characters of
Herrnione and Perdita.. 1t is a singular
fact. however, that the play itself has
never been a favorite with managers,
although the public has never failed
to demonstrate its appreciation of the
wonderful poetic and dramatic beauty
of the piece whenever it has been pro-
duced and acted properly.
History does not record the identity
of the beardless boy who played the
dual role in Shakespeare's day, and the
first time woman is known to nave
appeared in the part of Perdita was in
1741 at Goodman's Fields. London. Miss
Hippesley interpreted the role on that
occasion. A Mrs. Clifford first played
Hermione with Miss Hippesley. In the
Tale" made by Garrick, Mrs. Pritchard
played Hsrrpione. --------srr-zzsz.-sF,
One Of the Perditas who created a
sensation was Mrs. Robinson and Miss
Farron was the next to essay the role
Then came Mrs. Yates, and after her
Miss Hickes. who appeared in the re-
vival Of the play at the Drury Lane,
with John p. Kemble as Leontes,
Charles Kemble as Florizel and Miss
Siddons as Hermione. Several other
actresses were seen in the play before
Mrs Faucit assumed the role of Per-
dita The next was Helen FAUCET, a
daughter of the lady just mentioned
Miss Helen Wallis, the last to play the
part before Mary Anderson took it up,

was followed about ten years later by
Mrs Hilton. After that Mrs Warner,
Mrs Parker, Mrs. J. W. Wallack, Jr,
Isabelle Pateman and Mile. Janushek
appeared in one or the other of the two
leading female roles, but the Hermione
and Perdita best remembered by the
present generation is that of Mary An
derson, who was seen for the last time
on the stage in those characters On
the American stage the piece has been
seen all too seldom, and it is interest
ing to note that after Miss Anderson
the first actress to play the dual role
is Kathryn Kidder, who was seen here
last night in Wagenhals and Kemper's
magnificent production of the play
with Louis James as Ambiguous and
Charles 3. Hanford as Leontes Miss
Anderson is really the only actress who
made thorough success in the two
roles until they were taken up by the
other talented American woman who
has this sea son not only demonstrated
her complete fitness for the work, but
has shown conclusiveiy that the widely
varying characters OF her Hermione
and Perdita are best portrayed by a
single person. u.
