Hemsley's clever eccentric dancing .especially received much praise. . Considerable applause also was gained by., Boy Bbnham, an equilibrist, of ho mean order; Cremer 'and Arnold, comedy artists, and Gale and Sadie, singers I and dancers, were other entertainers who won favour In the second half of the programme the Haverly Revue Company produced "Murphy Marooned." Excellent scenic settings 'are, a, feature of this revue, which describes the adventures of a number of Europeans, who find themselves on a South Sea island. •' There are some highly amusing situations, and the songs and comedy which are introduced are good.'
