AUNT THE iE ATTRICTION AT THIS THEATRE. Witnessed His ening-- oe e Audience wmance * Monday bb Motion Pictures Also Shown, The Strand was last night and tion pictures, the Hunt, hypnotist and mind reader, gave demonstrations of his ability. He began with 4 brief lecture on hypnotism, in which he explained that its practice was almost uni- versal, but in a limited degree. In- dividuals, by suggestion, hypnotised others and themselves, although un- conscious of the facet. It was ac- complished by fear, fascination and fun, and without these elements] which served to concentrate the at-} tention of the subject, any attempt| would result in failure. He told how u barber, by pressing on certain nerves of the face, induced sleep, and how Dr, Mesmer systiematised and perfected the science. Thorough knowledge of the scientific principles involved and long practice only en-| abled one to achieve success. At-! tempts on the part of amateurs were liable to prove dangerous... It eould not be learned from books. Some persons were more susceptible than others to hypnotic influence, He secured two volunteers from the au- dience and explained the different methods of suggestion as he proceed- ed in his demonstrations, He sue- ceeded in securing satisfactory re- sults by the senses of douch and sight, Much amusement demonstration, burlesque reading by wonderful, 0 ollusion Dr, Hunt will be at at the Tuesday and formances The Theatres At The Grand, The screen's most | and popular co-stars, Francis X. | Bushman and Beverly Bayne will be | seen on the screen at the Grand next | Wednesday and Friday, Morch 13th aand 15th, for the first time in many { months, Their return will doubtless be welcomed by their countless ad- | mirers, and they are appearing this time in one of the finest pictures of their most successful career, 'Red, White and Blue Blood' is a human story told in a human way, full of love, adventure and the true spirit of patriotism, without a reference to the world conflict. It is not a war picture, but just a corking good photoplay, brimful of interest and excitement, A large number of the scenes were taken on Mr. Bushman's private estate, '"'Bushmanor," in Maryland, and his thoroughbred packed to after the usual celebrated Dr. £ apacity | mo~} followed each which was free from His exhibitions of mind the use of cards were There was no evidence the Strand Wednesday per- distinguished +» in some of Your New Easter Suit WILL BE CORRECT IN EVERY DETAIL IF PURCHASED FROM OUR LARGE ASSORTMENT.

This is credited with being, sartorially and scenically the most beautiful musical comedy production ever seen in New York, where it had a long run last season. Owing to Anna Held being ill, her charming and talented daughter, Liane Held, 8 playing the chief role, and is everywhere acclaimed a worthy successor to her famous mother. Anna Held, after two years spent in visiting the hospitals and battlefront of France to sing to the wounded and blind soldiers, fled from the horrors of war to America and became associated with Messrs. Shubert in presenting "Follow Me." This season she purchased the Shu- berts' interest in the attractino ana is now sole owner. The piece is in three acts, the scenes all laid in gay Paris. Supporting Miss Held 'is a caste of Broadway favorites, includ- ing: Venita Fitzhugh, Harry Bulger, Jr., Marie Franchonette, Ida Fitz- 'hugh Leon Francol, Lew and Harry Seymour, and Tilyou and Ward, be- sides a typical Anna Held beauty chorus, elaborately gowned. At Griffin's, The famous romance of the Sahara desert, "The Garden of Allah," fea- turing America's most distinguished actress, Miss Helen Ware, attracted a critical audience to this theatre last evening, who witnessed with rapt jatténtion the screen's most gorgeous | spectacle, There is a profound depth {to this story of a great love, that thas lent itself to the scope of the screen, and' has made it a drama of majestic beauty. Vibrant with the voice of human emotions, appealing with its enchanting melody of life, g| and throbbing with the surge of mor- Ri great out-door serial, tal hopes is this thrilling drama. In addition to dhis truly remarkable pro- duction the final chapter of the "The Fighting Trail," was shown last evening, and 3 | tertainment, also the opening chapters of the new serial, "Vengeance and the Wo- man," in which the two popular fav- orites of the former serial, Wm. Duncan and Carrol Halloway, again play the leading roles. Don't miss this programme presented this even- ing and to-morrow. A Dastardly Deed.

'Miss Wright is a daughter of the late Clark W. Wright, and is a sister of Ald. George C. Wright. She is a gradu- ate of the Kingston General Hospital and was in charge of the 'Richardson Convalescent Home for a time be- fore leaving for overseas. There has | been no nursing sister at the Royal Military College to date, but the authorities desired one to take care | of ghe cadets of the R.M.C. and {IRN.C. who might not require hos- | pital treatment.
