'rThc Phantom Detective.

Hypnotism plays a unique part in that musical melodrama, "The Phan- tom Detective" part that has caused endless discussion by the believers or incredulous in the wonderful occult art, There are many who claim that no per son under the influence can do wrong; other claim they can, and the villain in "The Phantom Detective" supplies an endless topic of discussion by expos ing in a complete manner many of the theories held for and against hypnotic influence. The melodrama Is sensa- tional to degree of constant thrills and surprises; seldom minute but the unexpected happens; the dialogue Is snappy, full of action comedy and ef- feet, Thirty people are in the cast; a chorus of exceptional talent and good looks; the greatest of all quartettes, the American Newsboy's quartet; a cage of real Hons and two carloads of special scenery, electrical and mechan- ical effects are used in "The Phantom Detective" which comes to the New Haven theater, March 5, S and ', with matinee Saturday.
