THE GREAT LEVANTE.
There is always a fascination in being deceived—when the deception is pleasant. This is certainly the case with those who visit the Opera House to see the Great Levante, who has more tricks up his sleeve than any magician that has performed here for a very long time. Combining snappy and entertaining vaudeville items with his tricks and delusions, Levante puts on a really astounding show, and he deceives his audience so alarmingly that spice is added to the tricks. His locked trunk illusion is undoubtedly his star turn, and the audience is left spellbound by the speed with which he removes the girl and substitutes himself —a matter of seconds.
Termed the "bravest girl in Wellington." Miss Nellie Austin, member of a Wellington boot manufacturing firm, will be shot through a solid sheet of steel on the night of the final Wellington performance.
