HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

' Last .; night there .; was. another splendid house, when the Austra* lian crickaters attended. There will be a; matinee this afternoon at 2.30,. when ..the. programme will be shown in its entirety,, and to-night will be the last of a very.successful season. ' : --:-;:\^- .' ' ; .

Much enthusiasm was shown during the American Indian picture "Redwings V Gratitude." ;' The scenic subjects,; " Lake ; Garda," "especially fine, and "The ?Algerian Stud>" a splendid : coloured film, were l*eenly appreciated. *,The' dramatic and. comedy elements are ■, all good. , There will , ° be a matinee this afternoon at 2.30. ■ ' CARTER; THE MAGICIAN. Carter, the magician, whose wonderful and mystifying entertainment has createda furore wherever he has appeared, will return to Auckland on; Monday night, after a two years' tour of the world. >; Carter has been all over the world, in fact, and has done the East more thoroughly than any other magician. The Indians proclaim him the . champion fakir .of the, world! They built him *a ; bamboo theatre in Calcutta, and, kept him for a month Splaying? 'j to crammed houses. Had Carter lived a century or two earlier he would have been burnt as a sorcerer;;.and nowadays Hhe-; people are nearly as credulous,: and had Carter the mind he could draw an: enor- • mous ■ amount of money, into the i box office by posing as, a 'spiritualistic medium. As it is, he does more mystifying things than the cleverest of the 'spirits at-, spiritualistic seances;" ' -The • incomprehensible cabinet miracles supply some of^ the most-;lnexplic-able items of ;';his programme., i Carter is bringing to Auckland a first-class entertain-j ment. He has a company of 10 people, in-" eluding Corinnc Carter, who is,said topossess a supernatural power- Garteryand ;huv company ; will ? arrive.." from .; the 'V South ; , morrow. ■■,.-. The ;advance bookings', at ;; Wildji man and Arey's indicate another |uccessful; season in Auckland ; for.. the -magician. ::'-;" •'
