I've learned that I can't depend on my idea of what's most popular among Roadshow readers. Just when I THINK I know, I'm proven wrong. That's why good marketers always test, test, and then test some more. You can't trust your instinct when it comes to the public's likes and dislikes..

DORNFELD (Domy) ^ In '^hree ylcts and a Finale PUBLISHED BY ARTHUR P. FELSMAN 3234 HARRISON STREET, CHICAGO. ILLINOIS COPYRIGHTED 1921 BY W. DORNFELD 'Dedicated to 'Uhe Ses/ and Most 'Popular ^.agical Journal in 'Che World '"^he Sphinx" PROGRAMME PAGE Overture 13 Act One — "Chatter" 19 Intermission — "The Ne-Kro-Mancer Man" 65 Act Two — "Who's Who — and Why" 73 Intermission — "War Magic" 181 Act Three — "Trix" 193 Finale 272 (5) WARNING By The Author authors' introductions are seldom read, I have shoved AS that responsibility on to a couple my good friends : Dr. T. C. Bonney of Aberdeen, South Dakota, and Ladson Butler of Rochester, both well known to the magical fraternity thruout the world. To make sure that there would not be any argument I have decided to say a few words in defense of myself in writing this outburst of soul and feast of reason. First of all, I regret that my name has to appear with more or less fre- quency thruout the book, but someone has to take the blame. I have given as near as possible, the choicest bits of patter in my repertoire and can guarantee results as I have, with several notable exceptions, used the chatter myself and have found that it "went", so it's up to you to do likewise. -
