THE GREAT NICOLA
REGENT THEATRE WEDNESDAY. “The only white man to beat the fakirs of the Far East at their ■ own game” is the description given the Great Nicola, world travelled wonderworker who brings his new company to the Regent Theatre. Masterton, on Wednesday. In the traditional headquarters of world magic, where Nicola, illusionist and magician, first learned Oriental mysteries twenty-five years ago from Hassan Bux, Dean of Hindu deceivers, he was hailed by both British and native press as being able to teach new ideas to the men long regarded as the peers of their profession. Hassan Bux himself, now a bent old man, but still a great magician, called on Nicola’s hotel in Delhi recently to renew the friendship they established a quarter of a century ago; and in Bombay, the city’s guild of native magicians gave Nicola a gorgeously inscribed document hailing him as the Dean of their profession, and presented him with a gold mounted wand set with semi-precious stones.
