Professor Davis, the celebrated entertainer, will visit Te Aroha this evening with his wonderful . coipbinalion. The exchanges all speak in the highest terms of the Professor and his clever perform unces in ventriloqui-m, fantastical problems, cluirvxyaney, etc. The Waikato Times in their report of the Professor in Hamilton, says “ Occultism of the Mysterious Screen,’in which the Professor was tied up by members of the audience and placed in the cabinet. No sooner was he from sight than the tambourines, bell, etc., were ringing, and a little later on bo took his coat off. The audience were considerably dumbfounded as the committee assured them that the knots were exactly as they were tied, making the performance very mysterious. Professor Davis then introduced his ventriloquial and mimetic entertainment, which provoked roars of laughter, Apart from the funny part of the business, the ventriloquism was really good, and shows that Professor Davis is a perfect master of the art.’ The benefit concert in aid of Mr D. Fuughey, of the Gordon Set'lement, which took place on Thursday evening was a g’-eat success. The night was all that could be desired, the large hall was com -f■ rtribly filled with an appreciative audience; Each item of the programme was well rendered, many of which received uproarious recalls. At the close of the concert Mr T. Gavin, who occupied the chair, thanked all who had contributed to the programme, making special monlion of fhe Band. He expressed the hope that when the next B.nd concert was held the public would support them for their kindness. ; .
