At THE MAJESTIC.

The North Stock company is giving
it's farewell performance this week at
the Majestic. after which they will go
south until fall. They have chosen for
their closing bill The Witching Hour,
a play which. il. the time of its early
presentations, was no doubt considered
startling as study in psychology. 1t
sets forth the conclusions reached by
investigators on the subject of tele-

lists are pretty well agreed and the
laity fairly well informed. Hence, the
ideas projected in the story. that were
bomb like in effect at an earlier day.

the power of exciting discussion. The
purpose of the play seems to be to pop
ularize the idea that the responsibility
for thoughts is as great as the respon-
sibility for deeds.

phychfcal powers. and after learning

he uses them to untangle and discom-
fit the wicked. Mr.. North is before the
audience nearly all Of the evening. and
he has most Of the important lines. He
gives a reasonable and understanding
clear of too much sentimentalism.
