:05:02
Hey, look! Hey, look! Hey, look!
Step right this way!

:05:05
Move in closer, ladies and gentlemen,
and let me introduce Zeena...

:05:09
the miracle woman of the ages.
:05:11
She sees, she knows, she tells you
all the innermost secrets of your past...

:05:15
your present and your future.
:05:17
- Mademoiselle Zeena!
- Step right up, folks, and don't be bashful.

:05:20
If any of you wants
to ask me a personal question...

:05:23
Mr. Stanton will now pass among you
with little cards and envelopes.

:05:27
- Lend me your hand there.
- Write your question on the card!

:05:30
- I need a pencil.
- Pass those out. There we are, ladies.

:05:33
Don't crowd.
There's plenty here for everyone.

:05:37
Careful not to let anyone else see what you write,
because that's your business.

:05:40
- I don't want anybody asking me about anyone else's business.
- One for you, young lady.

:05:45
When you have written your questions,
sign your initials or write your name...

:05:48
as a token of good faith.
:05:50
Write what's in your heart,
and when you write about it, think about it.

:05:54
Madam? Yes, madam. Your questions
will be held in strictest confidence.

:05:58
No one will know but yourself
and Mademoiselle Zeena.

:06:01
Ah, I see that Mr. Stanton has
a good handful of questions.

:06:05
So if he'll bring 'em right up on the stage,
we'll have some readings.

:06:10
Thank you, sir.
:06:12
Wait a minute. Here's mine.
:06:14
- Mister, here's my question!
- I'd like to ask you about my mother.

:06:18
Will that lady raise her hand, please?
:06:21
- Come on, Pete. Here.
- Madam, your mother's had a lot ofhard work in her life.

:06:24
Come on.
Take these. Here.

:06:26
- Another drink, huh?
- Hurry up. Show's on.

:06:29
There's something in there
I don't see quite clearly yet.

:06:33
If you'll see me after this demonstration,
maybe I can tell you more.

:06:37
I'll ask Mr. Stanton to drop the questions
into the bowl.

:06:41
There they go.
I don't touch them.

:06:44
Now, people have asked me
if I have spirit aid in doing what I do.

:06:48
I always tell them the only spirits I control
are the ones in this bottle.

:06:51
Spirits of alcohol!
:06:54
I'll pour a little on the questions...
:06:57
and ask Mr. Stanton to light a match
and drop it in the bowl.
