Entertainments.

« THE GREAT "McEWEN. Eor the past forty years "The Great McEwen" lias been known in theatrical circles as one of the master magicians, nim<l reader* and hypnotists. His entertainments are entirely different from any other of their kind, and in a , class by themselves. He has discovered also some new principles of great ingenuity which enable him to build up many mystifying effects and creations unknown to other magicians. Not only in pure legerdemain does McEwan show his wonderful work, but in the larger fields of illusion he displays a master mind which gives birth to many mystifying production that have made the "Great McEwen" performances renowned in (every town throughout the Dominion. Seemingly endowed with a magic power, he unlocks the secrets of the supernatural sphere, while optic effects lend their help in the invention and complexion of his many marvellous creation. "THE NORWOODS.'' Residents of this district will be pleased to hear oi the return appearance at the King's Theatre on Show night of the popular entertainer; Professor Norwood, hypnotist, and his talented assistant, Miss Winifred Norwood. Since their appearance here last December they have fulfilled exceptionally succpssful seasons, including' one of' nine nights at Greymouth (during Christmas and New Year) to record attendances. The Norwoods are doav at Gisborne for a four night's season. Those who saw Professor Norwood on his previous visit to Levin retain hearty recollections of the amusing nature of the entertainment presented by him. H was an exposition of an occult art which has defied scientist and medical faculty alike. Professor Norwood deals with hypnotism in its lighter vein, making it a vehicle for a mirthful entertainment. He combines the tremendous force whicli he 'so skilfully handles wim a strong, humorous touch, and the result is mystification and merriment. Miss Winifred Norwood will appear in new mental telepathic tests in which she is such a skilled medium. The box plan will be open at Ken Aitken's on Friday next. T3ie Company will appear at Gillandia Hall, Shannon, on Thursday, January 29.
