The Leitch-Mackenzie Season.

As will bo seen by advertisement, Mr George Leitch, the popular manager and comedian, with Mr W. Mackenzie and their comedy and operatic company, will appear at the Public Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday evening next. Mr Leitch, a comedian with an enviable reputation, will appear in several comedy characters which he has made famous in England and the colonies. It may be remembered that Mr Leitch was the first manager to produce in New Zealand “The Silver King,” Lights of London,” “ The Pearl Divers,’ “ Harbor Lights,” “ Human Nature,” and his visits to New Zealand have always been attended with the greatest success. Mr W. Mackenzie, the eminent baritone and Scotch character vocalist will give botli song and story. Ilis reputation is well-known here, and he is sure of a hearty reception. His songs and stories will be illustrated with a series of beautiful lime light tableaux, arranged b} r the best artists m London and Paris, in addition to which there will bo exhibited some most impressive pictures of the wreck of tho Wairarapa taken from the Great Barrier Island. One shows a most realistic picture of the Wairarapa going across the rugged rocks at the foot of the Great Barrier. Another shows a section of the stern with two of the masts standing, and another view of the ship is taken from the shore. The rest of the negatives show graphic pictures of the third officer’s and other boats searching for any poor victims, and the friends and relatives of the dead searching the rocks. With such a strong programme there should be a crowded house.
