Rhonofilm Prompter
Has Difficult Job

Bernard Shaw. Sybil Thorndike
and her husband and manager,
Lewis Casson, have been making
a speaking film out of "St. Joan"
Miss Thorndike carried "St. Joan"
to success on the London stage.
''The problem Of prompting be-
comes very acute in the speaking
films" Casson says. The actor
who dries up and loses his lines is
a great tragedy when he is speak
ing at the same time a camera is
registering his acting. OF course
trained actors do not actually dry
up very often, but they hesitate
and hesitation is magnified so much
on the phonofilm that 1t is almo.t
enough to destroy the illusion"
Casson thinks the speaking film
has an interesting future but he
says experiments with "St. Joan"
have not advanced far enough to
make it. certain that the film will
be released for general use.

years in connection with his sleight-

was present at the Connecticut
Chautauqua assembly held at the
Plainville camp ground during the
past two weeks. says that every
medium and every trick has been
exposed.
Spiritualism began with the Fox
sisters, Mr.. Dunworth says. These
girls produced strange rappings and
convinced their mother, who was a
superstititious woman, that noises
were of supernatural origin. They
were picked up by an exploiter and
were taken on tour battling all eff
forts to catch them in any sort OF
trickery. Before she died one of the
sisters confessed that they had made
the noises by Swapping their toe
joints, these producing the "ghostly
knocks"
The sisters were followed by the
Davenport brothers, Who allowed
themselves to be tied in chairs with

Build Up Cult
Then came a succession of others
from this country and abroad, and
gradually the cult was built up. The
American Scientific society offered a
prize Of $500 for anyone who could
produce undoubtedly genuine
phenomena. This prize has still to be
won, for every seeker has been ex-
posed as fraud. One claimant, a

been able to find out, but Mrs.
Thompson produced a luminous
wrath which floated about the
room. One skeptic in the group bit
into the ectoplasn, and he bit Mrs.
Thompson. When the lights went on
he had in his mouth piece of
cheesecloth treated with luminous
paint.
The latest prominent medium has
been Margie. the wife of a Boston
doctor. She was vouched for by J.
