 Highlights 

MAGIC ON STAGE. Dr. George E. Speake and James I. Moon of the Institute of Science, a division of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, present wonders of science. During one show the demonstrator sends a million volts of electricity crackling through his body to ignite a piece of wood in his hands. At other performances his demonstrations include: A Cry That Shatters Glass; A Frozen Shadow; A Flashlight That Talks; The Stammering Machine; Invisible Energy That Sets Steel Aflame; Eyes That See in Total Darkness; and Electron Magic with a Ribbon of Rust.

MIRACLES ON FILM. There is a series of motion pictures in color prepared by the Institute of Science and dealing with nature and scientific topics. These films are widely used by the armed services, scientific organizations and schools. Among the latest: City of Bees (on life in the hive) and Red River of Life (on the heart).
