MALINI, THE MAGICIAN.

At His Majesty's Theatre this evening. Malinl, the world-famous magician, will make his appearance, and the public may be considered fortunate In having an opportunity of witnessing the marvellous skill of this distinguished artist, who has appeared ..before his late Majesty King Edward and the present King and Queen. Malinl is, as a. magJcian, m a class by himself; he is original m all h© does, he uses no paraphernalia, has no confederates or assistants, but relies solely on his wonderful dexterity t^o baffle his.audi- ! once, a»d that he succeeds is guaranteed by the magnificent press notices which he has .received m all parts: of the globe. During his tour m the Far East, Maiini j appeared before the King of Siam, and 'also the. -first. President of: China, and he, was the recipient of decorations from both, m JEngland Maiini has entertained all the notabilities, -including the Duke of Portland, Lord Derby, Lady de Grey, the Hon. Arthur , Balfour, and; members of the Hmise of Commons, and he has frequently , entertained, the Presidents of France and America. There is something really uncanny, about this . remarkable man; he doesy the most .wonderful things and appears to possess almost supernatural powers, . .; He ( works at .express speed .aa'd ■ h.ls trlcks^are performed with, an ease that adds to their interest and charm: he has fl. great fund of ; anecdote and ail the humorous stories he tells m a quaint style are appropriate to the trick which he happens to bo performing. Mallnl is undoubtedly the greatest magiclan who l>as: visited the Dominion ,and I nobody 9hould miss seeing him. .' As fMelba is tho Queen or .Song, so is Maiini the King of Magic. Mrs. A. M. Montague; pianist, nnd Miss Ettle. Field, soprano, are supporting Maiini. The Gisborne season is limited to three nights, and the box plan of reserved. seals is at Miller's corner.
