THE GREAT LEVANTE

TONIGHT IN MASTERTON. With his 50 tons of magical effects and a company of 32 English artists, the Great Levante arrived in Masterton this morning and will open at. the Opera House tonight. Levante states that the majority of his tricks arc entirely new. An adept at the art of sleight of hand, he baffles his audience with his speedy execution of difficult and spectacular tricks. In addition to himself he presents a brightly varied programme of revue attractions. The artists include Esme Levante, a noted English portrayer of Oriental dancing, with her Eastern Maids; “Melba.” England's greatest shadowgraphist; Rex and Bess, specialty artists who have come direct from Jack Hylton's famous English band; “The Moderniques,” re--downed Anglo-American exponents of the very latest terpsichorean art; Protea. an act beautifully presenting a delightful kaleidoscope of scenes and tableaux, introducing some beautiful Scottish scenes and songs, the Mayfair Four, instrumental and vocal harmonists, and Levante’s famous London Glamour Girls. The settings and costuming are lavish and brilliant, and the whole is said to be a delightful three hours’ entertainment. The box plans for this evening’s performance will be _at the Opera House. As there can be no re- 1 turn visit, intending patrons are advised to book their seats or ring the 1 Opera House for reservations. |
