...flop? Was it a clinker? No, it was a super-disaster called Snowshoes and presented last week over CBS's Playhouse 90. There are these racetrack types down and out in Miami and they get a race horse and then somebody thinks of Bridey Murphy and a hypnotist makes the horse think he's Man o' War, or does he? and then . . . Well, that was the way it went. Trendex gave Snowshoes a high rating, which ought to make Playhouse 90, its sponsors and its network worry: Will many of those millions ever tune in again...
...successful was Collins' pursuit that "the woman in white," Caroline Graves, was his mistress throughout his life. Nobody knows if the story she told him-that she was fleeing from a brutal hypnotist who kept her imprisoned in his villa-is true or not, but many still know the great piece of fiction that Wilkie Collins made of it. The Woman in White ran in 1859-60 as a serial in Charles Dickens' magazine, All the Year Round, and though it followed Dickens' own Tale of Two Cities, it boosted circulation above even the Dickens level.

This demonstration was viewed last week on closed-circuit TV by physicians at an international meeting of anesthesiologists in Manhattan. Only the week before, he had performed a similar service for a patient in Chicago, Mrs. Roberta Westwood, with an enlarged and overactive thyroid. After four weeks of preparation and a day-before dress rehearsal, Dr. Kroger carried out his hypnoanesthesia at Edgewater Hospital, and most of the patient...
...shares with Christian Science much matter if little manner. Some of last week's subjects: "Freedom from Disease," "A Grand Time Living." The Rev. Ervin Seale of Manhattan's Church of Truth titled his lecture "Where Is Bridey Murphy Now?" and suggested that perhaps she was "in" Hypnotist Morey Bernstein. The Rev. Sarah Solada of the First Church of Understanding in Detroit gave her audience a "treatment" for money. Instructing them to clutch a dollar bill tight while she was talking, she went on: "You want to love money so the next person who touches it will feel...
