Manning’s Troupe.
This clever combination of artistes entertained a fairly full audience in the Masonic Hall last evening. The performance was a discursive one, consisting of legerdemain, clairvoyance, ventriloquism, and other specialities of a like nature. Miss Amy Swanborough, accompanied by Mr. Charles Moyr, performed some very clever feats, while Mr. Manning proved himself an accomplished ventriloquist; and Mr. Levoi exhibited fair versatility as a prestidigiteur. Entertainments of this kind are of too varied a character to require anything like individual criticism, as one wonderment succeeds another in such profusion, and with so much celerity as to keep the mind of the audience in rapt attention, the whole forming an agreeable compound of astonishment and delight. Mr. Towsey presided at the piano during the evening, and gave several specimens of his skill as a musician. The company will perform to-night for the last time, as they leave for Auckland on Sunday.
