SEASON EXTENDED.

NICOLA'S GREAT SUCCESS. The reception accorded Nicola and his American company at His -Majesty'* Theatre has been' ao phenomenal that the management have been forced to extend tho season. Nicola will now play for tour weeks, an ' almost unprecedented period for u etuge show to appear in Auckland. At every performance so far many people have been unable to gain admittance, and it itt to give everybody an opportunity of witnessing this wizard of magic on his farewell world tour that the extension of playing time has been arranged, t'onimencing on Monday next, many startling new features will be included in the progrr. nine. Foremoet among these will be the mucli-dincuseed, but seldom seen. Indian Rope Trick. It in only because Nicola spent many years iiiiiing the fakirs of India that he was given the secret of this amazing feat. As a matter of fact, he i« the only white man to have ever net-formed the illusion. Another outstanding new feature on the programme will be what Nicola claims a* the absolute triumph of his many years "tud.y with magic. Entitled "The " lz ;"d s Dream," it takes the form of a magical playlet embodying four or five illusions, wliicl. lave even the profesnal ningieiang of the world baffled.
