Vile bill at the Academy this week.
The hypnotist last night. through "the

young volunteers from the audience to
his strange incantations. One Of the
volunteers was given a broom and told
TO grasp IT tightly. When he attempted
TO let go of it he found the feat i'm
possible. The hypnotic subject charged
over the stage, knocking down several
chairs and sweeping away several OF
the other subjects in his wild dash.
Pelham smacked the subject on his fore
head, and In a second the young man
was restored to his senses.
Sutton, Mcintyre, and Sutton are on
the bill In an interesting act Of now
