COLOURFUL SHOW.
REVUE AT HIS MAJESTY'S,
With a collection of Borne high-class American vaudeville artists, in addition to the famous puppet troupe, Salici's Parisian Puppets, the "Funz-A-Poppin" Kevue is proving one of the best shows of its kind to have come to His Majesty's Theatre for some time. Of a different type from the last few companies brought out by Sir Benjamin Fuller, it has more in the way of entertainment values than either of them. The marionettes are different from anything seen here before, and the feats they perform would seem to be impossible for mere dolls on strings. One actually lights and puffs a cigarette, while there is another marvellous scene in which one plays the piano, while one marionette sings and another plays the flute. Of the other artists the Carr brothers and Betty, acrobats and handbalancers, are perhaps the best, although Bobby Morris, comedian, Ross and Edwards and the Van Twins run them close. Booking arrangements are advertised.
