THE NORWOODS

Professor Norwood, who opens a three nights' season on Monday next, September 22nd, at , the Town Hall, has recently concluded a most successful season at the Opera House, Wellington, where he (added fresh triumphs to his already famous career as a public entertainer. He will be assisted by Miss Winifred tfdrwoocf, and together they will produce several new features nightly in their hypnotic and mental telepathic entertainment. On Monday afternoon Professor Norwood will perform his marvellous blindfold hypnotic drive, starting from the post office at 4 p.m. He will allow a committee of business men to hide "a small article. Mr Norwood will then get int® the carriage, and after being securely blindfolded, will drive the jteam at a rapid pace and find the hidden article. This interesting' test in thought-transference establishes . the reputation of Professor Norwood' as a mind-reader. The box plan is at the Dresden, where reserved seats may be secured.
