On at 4.20, 20-35min, full stage.  He has this town hypnotized.  He is to do a series of special stunts this week, a different one at every performance.  Last night he was bolted and rivetted inside an iron boiler.  He escaped in 56 min.  He says this is one of the toughest tests he has ever undertaken.
