HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The weekly change of programme at His Majesty's contains some pleasing numbers, and last night's house was evidently well satisfied with the fare provided. Harris and Gold, who made their first New Zealand appearance, provided bright items and recalls in their.harmony duos at the piano. The Alerts again appeared very successfully in their display.of bayonet and battle-axe juggling. Their work throughout was first-class, containing as it did daring balancing with very business-like .weapons. Walter Johnson's Musical Revue Company upheld its reputation for dash and merriment in "The Monte Carlo GirL" The dressing and setting are elaborate, the story broadly farcical, and the music, song, and dance altogether pleasing. Walter Johnson, Harry Burgess, Ernest Lashbrooke, Gus Franks, Rita Starr, Naomi M'Quinn, and Florrie Horan sustained their parts very well. Lola Hunt also sang. iLydia Came .by her dainty toe dancing earned deserved applause. Tlie pick of the musical numbers .were "Memories," "The . Ragtime Automobile," and "The Ragtime Sextette from Lucia." The finale to "The Monte Carlo Girl" is a quick and very effective transformation scene, brightened up by scores of electric globes arid a veritable riot of colours. The revue should prove a great attraction at His Majesty's this wpek.
