Ruth Grey.

All one can hear this morning on
the streets. cafes, or, In fact, any
place, is: "Have You seen Ruth
Grey? Wei. up to the time of see
Ing her We were In doubt whether
she could deliver all the goods that
was claimed she could. but after last
nights show, we gladly admit that
everything that has been claimed for
this marvellous young woman in the
way of being a mystic wonder is
true" Last night she answered ques-
tions written to her by different
members of her audience. These
questions were held in the hands of
the writer's and Miss Grey could not
in any way have seen any of the
questions. She not only answered
the question, but in each case told
the name OF the person asking the
question. The last part of Miss Gray's
work is the fact that she makes no
claim at performing miracles. She
makes no claim of receiving aid
from the unseen world. But how she
can read the thoughts of a vast au-
|dienee as she did last night, is more
than most people In this city can
understand. Several really clever spe-
cialties are carried by Miss Grey and
the rest of the show is good. This
same attraction will appear at The
Kentucky the rest of the week with
matinees Wednesday. Thursday and
Saturday.
