There was a lßrge attendance at tha Theatre Royal last evening, and the ifelstone and Forrest duo. also Miss Mollie Bentley and Messrs. George Daan and Fred Rivenhall, received an appreciative vrelcome back to the ranks of tbe Gaiety Company. Tho clever dialogue ' of Nebtone and JDss Forrest kept the audience highly amused, and the eccentric dancing of Nelstone was a specialty in itself. The Ranger sisters got their usual good reception, and Miss Stella Ranger was particularly successful in one of her favourites, "There's an old-fashioned cottage." Miss Mollie Bentley sang a proBuller composition. Mr. George Dean, young as ever, scored with his coiftic rather than with his descriptive singing. Mr. F. RWenuall, comedian, and a machine of the bioscope class go to make up a fairly strong programme. To-night will reappear Harvey and Morris, couiiQ jugglers, and Mr. T. Howard, comedian.
