"Margory" whose real name is Mrs. Laroy Crandon, is the wifo of a Boston physician of standing, has never sought to exhibit her psychic powers for hiro, and has nover associated with magicians, jugglers, and similar mystifiera, honoo the fivo investigators had an initial presumption in hor favour. Sho gave scores of sitti angs and greatly puzzled the investigators by her ability to produce remarkable effects as long as she controlled the situa tions. The investigators stato, however, that in proportion as they laid down conditions hinder-: Ing logerdomain the "phono- mona" grow fainter and fainter.

Two of the investigators, Dr. W. F. Prince and Dr. William McDougall, atated:-"Wo have:

greatest recent success

TIGER ROSE

-Experienced Cinemagoers-

are aware that whenever a big stage success has been transferred bodily to the screen with the original cast, a delightful picture has resulted. One has but to recall "Potash and Perlmutter", "Way Down East", "Disraeli”, to realise the truth of this. "Tiger Rose" is one more triumphant vindication of the rule that a good play, well cast always makes, a good picture!
