FAMOUS MYSTIC TO
APPEAR AT RYLANDER
Murdoch, Eminent Whit Ma
hatEna,' in Divertisements
of the Far East

The management of the Rylander
Theatre announces for Nov. 5, and
Z a special engagement of Murdoch
The Master of Mental Mysticism
and his entire company ri Orien-
tai entertainers, now on their
eighth successful tour of the United
States.
1t is said that Murdoch possesses
\ power that has baffled college
professors and SCIENTISTS in that he
can, by gazing into the depths of
f, his crystal, probe the past, pres
ent and future of any person he
can see. If you wish to consult
him in matters of love, business,
contemplated changes of any ma
ture or make inquiry as to lost ar
ticles YOU will have the opportun-
ity, for during the performance he
permits the audience to ask any
question they desire, and he not
only answers them without opening
the envelope containing them, but
he calls your name, and can actual
ly describe you, though he has never
lseen you.
Other mysterious things this
wonder worker performs are ex-
periments in slate writing, while
surrounded by the audience. He
apparently receives written mes
sage5 from the dead to members in
the audience, and though Murdoch
makes no claim as 20 Spiritualism,
self -hypnotism or the like, he tells
sou that you may call it whatever
you please He also produces spirit
pictures in colors upon an Artist
canvas Of any person who has ever
lived, and this. is accomplished
without any visible aid whatever,
and without touching his hands or
brush to the picturp.
The Des Moines Register said
This Murdoch is the most mystic
rious man who has ever visited Des
Moines. He continues to mystify
crowded houses at the Strand Thea
ire, and his various experiments in
Mental Telepathy and Occult sci
ence continues to BATTLE all who
try to solve the marvellous feats he
performs"

ENTER MADAME IS
SCINTILLATING STORY
Clara Kimball Young Plays
Leadino Role at Rylander

The heroine whom Clara Kimball

Young is of charms. She is Prima
Donna Lisa Della Robia. grand
opera star, whose career has per-

There is every Indication that
"Enter Madame" which plays at
the Rylander next Wednesday, will
repeat on the screen the success of
the stage play upon which it is
founded. Some criterion of its
merit can be gained"from the ex-
cellence of the cast which includes
Elliott Dexter, Louise Dresser and
Lionel Belmore.
The story:
They were thousands of miles
apart, and the role cast for Love in
this drama of hearts was a difficult
one. The communicating line
were long and Love was tired, and
Love nodded his drowsy head. In
that moment of relaxed vigilance
the other woman stepped upon the
scene-not thousand miles away,
but near at hand, ailuring flesh
and blood, calling to all the senses.
Meanwhile, ignorantgof danger, the
opera star sang in distant capitals,
winning the applauding thousands.
And at home? But she came
back, Madame re-entered upon the
scene to find--what? e

STUDY OF PEOPLE IS ALWAYS INTERESTING
Job Is Neve rFound Tiresome By
 Those Indulging

''Ho, Hum," yawned a young sales woman behind the neckwear counter of the department store l was visit ing. Same thing every day; same old grind; one customer after another. Never anything new"
 Her colleagues yawned assent. AL together, the little group looked ex- actly as they felt-bored, uninter- ested, disgruntled.
 This started me thinking about the interesting possibilities of jobs, and wondering whether any job is, in itself, uninteresting, or whether it is the state of nd of ,ne person in 1t. In the case of these saleswomen, l couldn't help. feeling that their jobs were tiresome only because they weren't keen enough to see the inter- esting sidelights on them.
 When you are selling-whether 1t Is in store, or calling on customers at their offices, there Is nothing more fascinating than the material you deal with during the seven or eight hours of the day. You are working with human nature-always differ be more fascinating?
 Don't you find it interesting to study people? To sit in the subway train, In the street car, in the hotel lobby and watch those around you? Isn't it absorbing to speculate about lH6Hl, u WOlluGI what NAClA AiNGSl characters and habits are? Wouldnt t you like to talk to some of them. just to see if you have guessed right, or if your judgment is mistaken?
 Well, extend this same interest in and curiosity about people to your job-and you make 1t as inter- esting as sitting in the subway, studying those around you. Every customer is, a problem, a different study in human nature. If you regard each sale as a little game-a guess ing game, during which you make certain speculations regarding the temperament of the person before you, and sell according to the way you think that person wants to be treated, you are playing a most ab- sorbing game with folks.
 A nervous, fussy woman bustles up to your counter. You look at her for a few seconds; size her up. A quick nervous type, you see. How do you handle her? Slowly. deliberately? No, indeed. You serve her briskly; you talk rapidly; you don't keep her waiting. if waiting is avoidable. That's one type.
 slow, drawing customer saunters up. Look at her. Do you serve ner in the brisk hurried way you wait on the nervous customer? Not if you know human nature. You talk slowly. deliberately to her; you take
