The kinQ of fun Makers.

Barnum, the hypnotist, who has
been amusing large crowds at the
Fay Opera House this week, is GER
tainly the king of all makers.
He styles his attraction "the great
est laughing show on EARTH" and
from the amusement created it GER
tainly is. The capacity of the thea.
tire was taxed Monday evening to
witness the awakening of the young
man whom Barnum hypnotised
over long distance telephone Satur-
day night in the window of Alexan-
der Reid & Co., and all who Witness
ed the show that followed agreed
that never before in Virginia was
there so much laughter created.
AS gentleman, Barnum is all
that could be desired and will leave
many warm friends here when he
leaves, but as hypnotist and psy-
chologist he is far superior to any
one of that class ever seen in this
part OF the country. His lectures
are plain and concise and he attrib.
utes his powers to nothing super
natural, claiming that he is only
using the same natural force latent
in every human being.
Today he is putting on the most
novel advertising feat ever Witness
ed in Virginia. This morning he
hypnotised young man in the
front window of E. Hawkinson's fur.
niture store and suggested to him
that he would play piano contln-
uously until $50 o'clock tonight.
The young man is still playing as
we go to press, and is attracting
even larger crowds than did his
hypnotic sleeper.
Tomorrow night he will break a
700 pound rock on the body of a
subject, and Sunday hight will have
a lady class of subjects.
Barnum has the faculty of hand
ling his subjects on the stage with
| PCAASN' CooC, duA HUH TIC luuuy
scenes he is able to produce with
them must retain complete and per,
feet control. His tests in catalepsy
and bending catalepsy are wonder
full and certainly impossible with.
out the aid of hypnotism. His show
is not only interesting and scienti.
fic but immensely funny, and the
balance of his engagement here is
sure to be played to capacity houses
Manager Chalmers is to be con.
graduated on securing an attrac
ton of this kind, and has already
booked Barnum for a return en-
gagement this fall.

.'BEVERLY" is ONE OF THE
BIGGEST OF THE BEST

Judging from newspaper reports,
Beverly of Graustark' is one of the
biggest successes of the present the
atrical season. and when Miss Ger
trude Fowler appears as George Barr
McCutcheon's delightful heroine at
the Oregon theater on Tuesday, Feb
ruary ]. she will probably be greeted
by many people who have read the
book.
Those who attend the performance
will doubtless find proof that no, con-
temporary novelist has a happier fac
ulty than this popular author, or hu-
manizing historic personages. This is
true. even though the subjects of his
pen are but myths. To the modern
mind. however. they have become
realities from their long residence on
the pinacles of fame.
Set in the delightful atmosphere OF
the mythical kingdom of Graustark,
/ the pay is a clean wholesome story
! enliyened by several strong dramatic
/ situations.
! The dramatizaton by the scholarly
| Robert NJ Baker is wonderfully
good one and unlike so many of the
book plays, nowadays, this one
adheres very closely to the original
story.
The original production from the
! Studebaker theater Chicago is car
ried by the company, and Messrs. De-
lamater & Norris, who are directing
the tour. have spared no expense tt

LUCKY IMITATION.
An Experience With the Russian Au-

An Experience With the Russian Au-
toerat Marshal Gourko.
Marshal Gourko. the famous Russian
general, was terrible autocrat. On
one occasion an impersonator of cele-
brated men was performing at thea
ter In Odessa. One evening he receiv-
ed mysterious message, which read.
'Study General Gourko." In Russia
II is better not to inquire into matters
that one does not understand. and so
the artist spent an hour in privately
impersonating the autocratic Russian.
Just as the evening performance was
about to commence an order of arrest
signed by Gourko was presented to the
impersonator. and without explanation
he was led through the streets to the
marshars palace and into an apart
ment where the terrible man was seat
ed. "They tell me that you imper-
senate celebrated men," he roared.
"Impersonate me!'
Giving a hasty look at Gourko, the
performer turned to the. mirror to
"make up" 1t was an anxious time,
for II the marshal should take excep-
ton to the representation he had un-
limited power to inflict punishment.
The impersonator dragged himself to-
gether and turned to the marshal a
copy Of his own face and overbearing
manner. Gourko burst into roar OF
laughter. and the dangerous moment
was over
