Not the least OF the features which
characterize the act Is the arrangement

that 1t is possible to give dramatiza-

minutes. This Is done by centering the
vision of the audience on the dominant
scenes and by suggestion inferrtng the

Miss Wellman's vehicle, which has been
patented by Edward Elsner. comes near

logically, than any previous attempt. The
novelty, together with the fact that the
various parts are in the hands Of ca
