Telepathy. 20 min. in 2. 2 shows. On at 8:15. These are very clever people, the mind reader being a man of apparently astounding powers. The work is similar to the Zanoig’s, but even swifter. The man is blindfolded and his confederate passes through the audience touching and examining articles, all of which are named by the operator on the stage. The silent telepathy work was particularly interesting and won a strong hand. There is no doubt about the ability of this act making good with the thinking part of the audience, as it certainly mystifies them. Received good hand at the finish. Fear it is not novel and brilliant enough to cause as wide comment as it otherwise would.
