In the new submarine that 50
recently picked its way thru the
carefully guarded channels of the
British Isles. and deposited cargo
of dyes on our shores, has not only
opened the eyes Of the mariners,
but has startled the world as to the
possibilities of man S genius, and
proven there are yet many things
to happen that are new and wonder
ful in spite Of the theory that
mankind has reached its meridian
in the world Of invention. And
this proves conclusively that there
is not a story nor a play that can
not be improved upon if wisdom,
thought and patience is applied.
In the great play The Other Mans
Wife. Victor Emanual Lambert,
the author, has constructed
fascinating story Of man and
woman into an intensely interest
ing play, and run the gauntlet Of
criticism from the playrights and
story tellers that cried it quite
impossible to make an old thing,
new. A theme, old as the world,
and as sweet to mankind as the
honeysuckle to the bee. The
amusemet world wanted something
different, managers took up the
cry of their patrons and are seek
ing to find that something, new.
Gaskell and MacVitty were wiser
than the rest. They found some
thing new in the other mans wife.
Something gripping, something
that has set America talking.
They found a real play, and with
the beautiful mountings, and ex-
cellent cast, they are winning the
praise of all who are fortunate
enough to see the Other Mans

Prof. Caruthers IS giving demonstra-

that seem almost impossible. He
seems to know everything ID out
everybody, and does not hesitate
to answer the thought Of the
people. Last night he answered
about 40 questions for different
ones in the audience, and as he did
he would have them raise their
hand so every one could see them.
His lecture upon the Sub-Con-
scious Mind was very entertaining,
and he seems to know all about
dreams and their effects upon the
conscious mind. On Friday night he
will lecture on Are the Dead Con-
scious, The many scientific tests
given in Hypnotism are interest

hvpnotism is represented and it is
one long laugh from start to finish,

felt no effects from this test.

Miss Emerson is seated at a piano

does. The show is one of the best
