Levane is Baffling

RETURNS TO PALMERSTON N. ON MONDAY NEXT The only things that you can see through in the Great Levante's mystery making are the empty trunks before he tills them in the shake of a magician 's wand with beauteous maidens whom he can make appear ami disappear with most useful ease. The magic kettle would be a first-class present. It produces any drink you like. Levante gives the kettle away, but we wonder if it still works without any magic caress? Another mystifying trick is the £IOOO trunk mystery. A pretty girl is securely tied in a bag anu placed in a steel trunk which is doubly locked and also strapped. In less time than it takes to say “Open ►Sesame” Levante has changed places with the B - —but he is in the bag, which is still tied, and in tne trunk, which is still locked and strapped. Many new tricks and illusions will bo presented by the Great Levante and his clever company oji Monday night next and theatregoers will have a still further added attraction iu the attempted escape from a packing case which a local lirm has . e and will secure the great magician in it on the stage. In accepting the challenge issued by this firm the Great Levante states ho will not only free himself under the prescribed time of 15 minutes, but he guarantees not to damage the case in any way. The box plans are rapidly fillling at Collinson and Cunningbame’s and intending patrons are reminded it is holiday night and if they wish to savo disappointment they should book their seats immediately.

| Special pantomime features will bo introduced by tho Great Levante in Monday night’s revue “How’s Tricks” which will be greatly enjoyed by the young people and winch may also be appreciated by grown-ups. well tackled by production councils and committees. Those who can grow wheat are at least more fortunate under present conditions than those whose land and climatic conditions are not suitable. Wheat growers have a definite war-time job. The crop is profitable—the price is known—and with any luck at harvest time the results are definite and assured. | Wheat growing is one war-time job ■ that farmers in the districts mentioned ‘can go to with confidence.
