It was necessary for the young

Green tried little Bobby Jacks

he couldn't recognize anybody but

thought the genial Paramount star
would do fine for q daddy. But
Bruce was no respector Of persons.
No sooner had he left the scene
than he began to pick up daddies
all over the studio. He espied

cried out:

what the director told him.
Next he chose Walter Hers. the

picked out by the youngster.
WED better get the boy back

Sir Conan, II is said. has studied
practically every phase Of psychic
phenomena, ranging from the
Ouija board and automatic writ
ing to materializing seances, crys.
tai gazing and direct voice COM
munication. In every instance he
has been an earnest inquirer along
scientific lines, and during his ir.
vestigations Of over twenty years.
has had the advantage Of being
physician and scientist as we'll as
a trained observer. His work in
connection with psychical research
has taken him to all quarters Of
the globe.
Photographs. said to be the most
valuable collection in existence,
will be shown by means OF the
steropticon. to illustrate the be-
ginning Of the mysterious psyche
plasm, the existence of which Is
now admitted by many scientific
men. Other photographs show the

form. The conditions under which
the photographs were taken. Cir
Conan declares, are a sufficient ar.
gument against the idea OF fraud.
