PUT HYPNOTISM TO GOOD USE
Australian Physician Announces That
He Has Cured War Stammering
by Its Employment.

Writing In the Medical Journal Of
Australia, DR.. Clarence G. Godfrey
states that during the past two years
number of cases have been referred
to him for treatment by hypnotic sug-
gestion, In which stammering or slut
tering had developed, or had been
revived, after years of disappearance,
as the result of shell shock or
of various war stresses. Sometimes
a hpynotized patient has been told to
keep on repeating some well-known
nursery rhyme and not to cease at the
signal to awake, although in the mid
die of the rhyme, but to keep on talk
Ing. He will usually manifest his
establishment Mt finding himself talk
Ing without difficulty. Sometimes n
patient will converse on waking with
out realizing that his stammering has
disappeared until his attention Is
drawn TO it with amusing effect. III
one case the patient spoke perfectly
In sleep at the first attempt to hyp-
notize him, although he had had
very bad stutter for eight months past,
being almost inarticulate He woke
in few minutes apparently cured
and has been free from .stutter ever
since.
1t has been noticed that every case
treated, even the worst, has been able
to speak far better in the hypnotic
state than out of IT,

THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
LYRIC


 Beginning with the matinee this afternoon the PoH Players assisted by an augmented cast of artists from New York will present that wonder fully delightful production, Eyes of Youth" which is scheduled as the at traction at the Lyric theatre for this week. Never before since this family playhouse opened has a play of this magnitude been seen here and Bridge port theatregoers are fortunate in having this opportunity presented to them. Already a large advance sale of seats has been recorded and from present indications standing room only will be the w +chword at each performance.
 There is nothing on the American stage today quite like Eyes of Youth" either in size, beauty or cIev- erness. The play tells story repIete with captivating heart interest, the scenic effects are startling in their ex- cellence, and the IS characters neces- sary to it's production have been se- lected from the very best material ob- tainable.
 There will be two performances daily the first at 2:15 in the after noon and the second at 8:15 in the evening. The performances will be almost continues as a. revolving stage will be employed upon which the set tings will be erected on one-half while the act is being shown on the other. The curtain will be lowered for a few minutes only to allow the stage to be turned about when the play will be resumed.

 Frank Gordon, @ brilliant young clergyman, becomes imbued with the spirit of socialism. until finally the members of his church talks steps to have him resign. Gordon refuses to eyivo up his new career and in a final speech from the pulpit of his church he calls for aid in building the pro- posed temple of man."

PLAZA

The gala event of the season will be seen at the Plaza theatre starting today in the feature, The Love Race" This is one of the finest music al comedies ever presented here and has in its cast such well known vau- deville stars as Jack Hallen, Addie Carlson, Lewis Harris and a. big cast of Broadway Beauties in the chorus. The act is novel in its theme, ex- pensive in its production and sure fire in its entertaining qualities. No one who enjoys youth, songs and dances, with comedy mixed in, should miss this attraction.
 The feature picture Is William Far mum dn '"The Man Hunter" This story is different from anything in which 5M Mir. Farnum has ever appear ed before, and Is also as great a story as was ever presented on the screen. The picture shows to the limit the stars strength, for he has three re- alisdo fights, which just fit his physique. The story Is intensely hu- man,and Is relieved here and there by genuine good humor. It is in six acts.
 Other features on the vaudeville bill are Ben Smith, in a blackface comedy act that we are certain VIII be 8 riot here as he has in every other city where he has played. Ben has a routine of comedy and songs that never miss in pleasing the au- dienoee immensely. Kramer and Bry- ant, '"The Bell Boy and the Telephone Girl'' have a neat variety skft, Row ley and Tointon entertain with bright Bongs and snappy dances.
