HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Although there were no new artists at His Majesty's Theatre last evening, there were several new items, all of which were entertaining to a degree. The programme was headed by the inimitable English pantomime star, Barry Lupino, who for. some thirty minutes kept the large audience highly amused. , In the character of the conventional Dame, who cheerfully confesses to having had a surprising number of husbands, he was ex 7 cellent, and his song, "There's Life in the Old Girl Yet," was particularly well received. .His patter, too, was quite refreshing. As the gentleman who "has had a birthday," and has celebrated the occasion a little too well, he also scored, his dance being one of the cleverest yet seen on the Fuller boards. Much to the regret of patrons, Miss Maggie Foster (violinist) made her final appearance. In classical music, nnd in the more popular music she was equally at home, and she again received a" well-deserved reception. Brull and Helmsley, in another of their p"jpular sketches, were again favourites, and Campbell and Mayo provided a pleasing "turn." In the second half, Bert La Blanc's revue company appeared in an entertaining diversion, "In Watts," which proved to be an excellent excuse for a. number*of bright songs, attractive dances, and clever witticisms.
