EVERYBODY'S THEATRE
Levanta and Keech, two. .illusionists from Maekelyne and Cook's famous London Company, have coma to New Zealand with an enviable reputation, and last evening when, they opened their Wellington season at Everybody's Theatre they justified all that had been said of them and of their clever performance. Levante is a conjurer extraordinary, with some • old tricks and many newones, padded out and made more entertaining by running patter. Two. .of his big turns are the .straight-jacket escape, and a complicated double escape from; a' locked trunk. Keech devotes his attention to the exposing of fake spiritualistic! manifestations, and shows how trick spirit photograph, spirit writing, and the like may) be foisted upon the public by; simple : enough physical means. As a finale to their performance, Levante and. Keech last evening offered! a mystifying cabinet trick, in which strange "spirit" manifestations were reproduced. Their entertainment occupies a little, over an. hour, and in addition several good films are shown, the chief being "The Inner. Voice," a melodramatic production, featuring E. K. Lincoln.
