Herbert L. Fiint-Of all the hyp-
notists now upon the American stage,
Herbert l.. Flint stands confessedly at
the head. His native abilities in this
direction are wonderful, and show that
he possesses occult powers of the high
type, He takes a class of 90 from the
audience, and in very few moments
he has them under perfect control,
ready to obey his slightest wish. They
will see things which he suggests with
the reality of perfect vision as if they
stood before the object. All sorts of
Authorizations are experienced and all
kinds of vagaries are exhibited, but
| the whole entertainment, while eX-
hibiting all the phenomena of hypno-
tism, is done without the slightest det-
riment to the subjects. They go through
the most surprising feats, and then
awaken and enjoy the entertainment
and laugh at their comrades, who are
executing some ridiculous feat in their
turn. At the Illinois theater Sunday
