ed another success.
An interesting feature of The per-

pair Of handouts. Mr.. Gagnnn, who
cl;tims the championship of America as
a lightning manipulation Of the steel
bracelets. succeeded in placing them
on the arms OF his subject in the space
OF one second of Time.
Sheridan Kccnc" is thrilling
drama of detective adventure. fairly
bristling with sensational scenes and
incidents. The presentation was adc
