Mentalist Says
'No U it-natural
Mind Powers
BY MARY ALICE CAWOOD.
Stating that his greatest diffi
culty is trying to live an every
day, normal life, the prominent
mental telepathist Mr. Joseph
Dunninger assured reporters dur
ing a press conference prior to his
appearance on the Lincoln Junior
League Town Hall series Unday
nite that he did not possess any
super natural powers.
Maintaining that he does not
believe in the super natural, Dun
ninger says that nearly every in
dividual is capable of catching
thought waves, just as they are
capable of learning to play mu
sical instruments. It takes a life
time however, to cultivate this
ability into a perfected state. Mr.
Dunninger has never had any
training in his work and says that
no one can teach this knowledge
because the individual himself
must discover and develop it
When he was seven years old he
recognized his ability and since
that time has developed it to a
high degree.
Gets in Mood.
With his soft cultivated voice,
Mr. Dunninger explained that he
must place himself in a receptive
state of mind before he is. able
to catch and read thought waves.
Strange people often approach
and ask him to read their minds.
He was once refused a menu be

J. Dunninger
Amazes 4,000
WitliTelepathy
BY PHYLLIS TEAGARDEN.
Entertaining an audience of
4,000 at the coliseum Friday eve
ning, Joseph Dunninger, famous
master mind and hypnotist, proved
beyond a shadow of a doubt that
thoughts of other receptive minds
are no secret to him.
Introducing his program with a
few "tricks of the trade," Dun
ninger demonstrated an experi
ment which he performed at one
time before Thomas A. Edison. A
man chosen from the audience
was given a deck of cards and
told to choose one card in his
mind, after which the master
mind proceeded to tell him the
exact card. Similar card tricks
were shown to delight and mys
tify his audience, and in the role
of magician, Dunninger displayed
an "Egyptian grab bag trick,"
pulling a glass of water from an
empty bag while two men were
holding his wrists.
Breaks Down Barrier
Explaining that such intriduc-
tory tricks were used to break
down the barrier which arises at
the beginning of every perform
ance, and to obtain the confidence
of the audience, Dunninger pro
ceeded to demonstrate his skill in
reading the thoughts, not the
minds, of people who possess the
power of concentration and recep
tiveness. Writing pads wore passed
throughout the audience, and peo
ple were asked to wrile clown
unique numbers and names they
had in mind and to concentrate
on those questions. Creating an
! air of mystery in the huue room,
Dunninger gave exact serial num
! bers, initials and names of rela
. lives, telephone numbers, quota
tions in German, and addresses of
soldiers overseas. Those whose
questions were asked by Dunnin
ger were requested to stand and
identify themselves, thus furnish
ing proof of his accuracy.
Holding the attention of his au
dience for approximately two
hours, Dunninger completed his
performance with a unique dem
onstration with numbers. Select
ing four persons to keep in mind
a four digit number, he immedi
ately wrote the total on a slate,
checked his total for the audience,
and aid rounds of applause, dis
missed himself with, "Aren't you
glad you came?"
