Mystic Coming to

Art in Burma
Alexander Opens Weeks En-
gagement on Oct. g.. With
Special Matinees.

Students of the occult and others in
terested In psychical research sNon VIII
have an opportunity TO witness the per-
formance Of one of the most reu1arkabie
men who has ever graced the pnblie
stage as an entertainer This person IS
Alexander, 1.-THE Man Who KNOWS,
who has made lifetime study of fRe
occult and today is credited with being
the one problem that scientists the
world over admit Is impossible OF solu-
ton, for after an exhaustive investiga-
ton by various committees into JUST
how he performs his unusual demon
STATIONS of psychic powers thought
projections, or whatever 1t is, they
candidly admit IL beyond their ken to
explain his added faculty.
Alexander, who comes to the New
Lyric theater for an engagement Of six
days, commencing Monday Oct. =, with
a special souvenir matinee for the
ladies' only on Friday, and general
natinees Saturday, has devoted the ma
ior portion Of his time to the study Of
the occult upon the very ground OF its
birth, India, and when this Is taken
into consideration the performance Of
some Of his marvellous mental feats
during the crystal gazing, or Simla
seance, should not prove so surprising
TO the scientists.
Born In upper Burma. of Irish parent
age, 1t was at the age Of seven that
he had the first manifestation Of the
psychic force which has since domi-
mated his entire life. At this time Alex
ander had an older brother who was In
the English army, as was also his father
a physician, and one day he was seized
with the cognitlon that his brother had
been killed Although the mother en-
deavored to soothe him. his child heart
was deeply struck and he could not be
pacified, News was slow of travel in
those days, the only medium Of COM
muRlcation being the native runners.
Several days later they arrived with
confirmation OF his somber prophecy.
Alexander is the only man who has
ever successfully presented the slate
writing test publicly, This is consid-
cred the ultimate syllable in test work
and Ia offered at each performance just
as fulcrum to pry some of the I'M
believers from their set ideas, The
mystic disclaims any connection with
the supernatural and says that he at
tributes his power to a keen training
and development OF the mind.
New magical novelties comprise the
first part OF the program while the Sec
ond allows for the introduction of a
corp of attractive and clever Oriental
dancers IN a repertoire Of new dance
creations, including the beautifully
subtle crystal dance, of India, the dance
Of Abbai Radhi Myrai.
