PROFESSOR NORWOOD.
AT THE TOWN HALL.
Professor Norwood -is a genius. Tiv .the theatre-goer. he is what the sura, ifi , . to l -MotherEasily The oozes out, as dt, were, 1 from his: finger tips, and imparts' warmth and vigour to his audience, producing sunshine and showers in (happy alternation. Hie* ; sayS 'himself that it Is the power of suggestion, or impulse. It may beeither, or botlf. it is something, ami ! rtilie more one enquires into .that something, the more he becomes. The sight of .a dozen strong* energetic young men, mi the stag© (surrendering their will power to tiiePrdfessor, and then .performiTig anticswhiicli would put a circus clown tor shame, is simply indescribable. First the youn,g fellows wrung their hamds unmercifully. Then: tiliey involuntarily agitated their arms. Again they . danced a waltz, .went out fishing by itihe seaside; rolled l on the -stage, fought, laughed, caught imaginary fleas, and did everything that ■'vfia» possible to ariake themselves ridiculous. A lady attendant was hypnotised, and performed <sorne remarkabfe feats in acting .upon suggestion© made[by members of the audience. A brilliant entertainment was brought to » close with a. eleven' tableau, produced (by young men under (hypnotic treatment, and representing a sleigh rid© in the snow. The audience laughed sn (heartily for two iand a half hours tbats the consequences 'in some erases may Ibe serious. Anyhow, the .Profeseoiy itlxough taking all care, apparently accepts no (responsibility. in tin's connection. To-night there' will be an entire change of .programme, when one of the features of the entertainment will bathe production- of a comedy /by young men under hypnotic suggestion. TheProfessor will 'be in the Town Halt ■For four tmore nights.
