A little incident occurred on Wednesday night in connection with the Gentry show performance that was not down on the program. Mrs. Tom Thumb, or more accurately speaking, the wife of Baron Magri, is a devout Christian Scientist and takes every opportunity to worship with the people of that faith. Wednesday evening she hurried through her acts in the big tent and was met immediately thereafter at the door by some of the ladies of the local Christian Science congregation. They were driven at once to the church where the regular Wednesday evening meeting was in progress and where an opportunity was given the countess to relate how she came into Christian Science over twenty years ago and tell of her many experiences and demonstrations since then. The little woman talked about twenty minutes and after the meeting was given an informal reception in the Reading Rooms. She was accompanied by her husband, Count Magri, who expressed his delight in being able to attend the meeting.
