THE MARVELLOUS HOWARDS

Commenting on the Howards, who appear at the Maoriland Theatre tonight, the Levin Chronicle says:— The old adage “If it’s worth booming it’s worth seeing,” was clearly exemplified at the People’s Pictures on Saturday night, when the Marvellous Howards opened their season. The Howards live up to their great reputation in every respect, and from the commencement of their turn had the audience completely mystified and bewildered. The speed and accuracy of their transmissions was amazing, and little interludes of spontaneous wit made their wonderful act all the more enjoyable. Many and various were the tests made, from quoting the number on a bank note to describing the most unusual, the most unthought of articies, giving in some cases an accurate resume o. their history. Mr George Dean -won the favour of his audience from the start. His songs were bright ami clever, his stories and monologues clean and thoroughly enjoyable. “Sense and Nonsense” consists ol some really enjoyable numbers, humorous and pathetic. The beautilnl romantic Irish drama, “Shamus “O’Brien” (with a dramatic prologue hy Mr Dean), and Tom Mix in “The Road Demon,” made up a most excellent programme.
