HYPNoTIzED GIRL SINGS.
Physicians See Practical Realization
of Tale Of "Trilby."

Philadelphia Effect Of hypnotisn
on the human voice which justified
Du Maurer's fanciful tale of "Tril.
by's "svoice transformation while un.
der hypnotic influence, was demon
strated before the American Laryngo-
logical society and the subject was q
young woman who was employed in
the Office of physician.
The young woman often met and
spoke with singers who visited DIR.
Frank E. Miller, of New York, and
she expressed a desire to go upon the
operate stage, despite the handicap OF
voice utterly without music. She
had read the tale of "Trilby," how
ever, and said she was willing to try
hypnotism and suggested that phon-
ograph playing the songs of the oper-
attic singers be used to accompany her.
The experiment was made and the
effect was true to the story Of Du
Maurier.
Voices Of well-known sopranos and
tenors were reproduced and the young
woman sang at each days test with
perfect ease. While still in the hyp-
MOTTO state she was taken to the college
Of physicians and surgeons and intro
duced to the assembled physicians and
scientists there.
