In this act there are two characters, the Medium and the Professor. The Medium is seated on the stage and the Professor circulates among the audience. He bends over different members of the audience and pretends to ask their name; the Medium is then supposed to tell the name from the stage. The Professor "telegraphs" by his questions to the Medium what the persons' names are, and the whole thing is done in such an absurd manner that the result is very amusing.

 Some of the dialogue that may be used runs as follows:

 Professor: "Ain't it awful

 Medium: "Mabel!"

 Professor: "You know me-.

 Medium: "Al."

 Professor: "The first of the month-."

 Medium: "Bill."

  Professor: "San Francisco-."

 Medium: "Cal."

 Professor: "This is a black eyed girl-."

 Medium: "Susan."

 Professor: "Oh!"

 Medium: "Min.".

 Professor: "I think she's crazy-.

 Medium: "Dottie."

 Professor: "Let him do it-."

 Medium: "George."

 Professor: "She's all dressed up-."

 Medium: "Flossy."

 Professor: "Very good."

 Medium: "Eddie."

 Professor: "Everything is-."

 Medium: "Jake."

The possibilities in working up a stunt of this kind are almost endless, and may be left to the ingenuity of those who are planning the program.
