“HONI SOIT”

That riot of merriment, “Honi Soit,” delighted another audience at the Grand Opera House last 1 night. One number that lifts the production above the ordinary level is the vocal sccna, “La Reve Passe,” in which Mr. Colin Crane sings a brave song in admirable fashion. The experiences of an American family on tour are told riotously in another act. in which Miss. Rene Riano, Chic Arnold, and Charles Norman are extremely, funny. Perhaps the most comical sketch is the two sides of a wall_ in which Miss Jennie Benson and Mr. Nor- . man figure as two neighbourly housewives busy with their washing. Words fly. lls well as soai>suds, the repartee being vital with innuendo. Miss Benson and Mr. Norman are also very amusing in their attempts to explain a simple sentence from a book to an inquiring Frenchman in need of a lesson in real English. Miss Benson's songs at the piano are a feature of the entertainment. The season will conclude to-morrow night. Sunday Entertainment.
