Niblo, Miss Josephine Cohaii, and the clever J. C. Williamson Comedy Company, for the first time in. New Zealand. Tie author of; this screamingly funny play has contrived to wenvo his humorous story through, a. maze of situations with a deft ness productive of developments which lead tho interested spectator along a hilarious line of merriment: Tho ingredients of the .farcical comedy are cleverly mixed. There are two love themes—a most affable burglar, devoted to art, ah heiress, a yoliiig millionaire, who has spent his money freely in! tho vain pursuit of a .new thrill, an American constable, and the two young people to he chiefly concerned about.. Mr. -Niblo and Miss Josephine Cohan have characters which they revel in, and the talented members of the company are provided with rich opportunities which they turn to the best account. The whole results in; as merry an evening , as the most ardent lover of laughter could desire. . HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE/ There are record houses nightly at His •Majesty's Theatre this week: Tho cause of such lai'ge audiences is, of course, the advent of Miss Daisy Jerome, of "Come Over Here fame.

Mr Walter George* who is an established favourite with Wellington audiences, whs more popular than ever Inst evening. With Miss Georgie Martiii he ihade a biff hit in the burlesque duet "When We-Go on.the Stage," and won further success in a humorous duet-with Mr. Harry de Kobeck. New selections by Miss Georgie Martin proved her worth as a character comedienne and she carried the house by storm. whenever she appeared. Miss Gwcnyth Evans (contralto) was heard to edvanta'ije in "The Little Green Garden," which amply demonstrated her skill as a .vocalist! The . duet . "Venetian Boat Song," as sung by Miss Evans and Miss Lalla Knight, was one of the outstanding! Attractions of the bill., Miss Knight's solo, "The .Swallow." was. superbly rendered, and well deserved the recall. it received. Mr. Ernest Parkes's powerful baritone voice "was suited by "The Sergeant of the Lino," , while acceptable items were contributed by Mr. -Maurice Joi'tcs ("Mountain Lovers") and Mr. Gavin Wood. As ■ ari accompanist, Mr. Edgar Hiillaud was. nil- that could Iμ desired, and, in.addition, he delighted the house with a "Cotillon."
