Pat the theaters | FINE BILL AT FORSYTH DRAWS USUAL BIG CROWDS Some call It science, says Pauline, and some call it a fake But whatever you call It, that's just what It is. Pauline is the feature at the Forsvth this week and he is billed as the "world’s famous and Hypnotic marvel." He may be and'he may not be. ft's just how you happen tn look at it But neverthe less he made a hit with the. audience which racked the Forsyth last night, and did some seemingly marvelous stunts. His subjects, recruited from the au dience. did many peculiar things while under the hypnotla spell of Pauline while the exhibition he gave with a snhfect he carries with him made Pauline solid with his audience and seemed to banish skep ticism. Sharing honors with Pauline were the Exposition Four, who are always favorites and who always have something new. Their r inging, playing and dancing made up a show of their own and their re markably quick change of costumes caused the audience to marvel. Another act which made a hit was that Os Dane Claudius and Lillian Scarlet, who presented a musical melange entitled "The call of the Sixties." Others on the bill which were pleasing were the Swain and Ostman Trio, Dave Ferguson. Jennings and Nelson, and Fleurette. The latter presented her ’ "Visions d’Art." which consisted of va- i rlous poses in the spotlight Most of thia art consists of Fleurette’s shape.
