HIS MAJESTY'S.
A new bill was introduced on the vaudeville side of the programme at the Puller House last, night: :The remarkable talents of Little Lorna as a mimic are well known, but to see her imperson^ ate the Hebrew comedian Sam Stern in his character song, dance, and crosstalk, "I Want a. Man," is indeed to see a clever study. The audience last night gave the youthful performer a reception which adults have seldom succeeded in deserving. Her -other work was as George Robey in a "Bing Boy" song, and as Maurice Sterndale, the jazzing violinist. The Recce' Sisters gave several tuneful songs and duets, and also offered a simultaneous dance which will improve with practice. One of the sisters also played the piano well. Charles Hanbery and Doris Mills submitted a bedroom sketch "Tell Your Wife." Apdale's circus of baboon, monkeys, dogs, bears, and an ant-eater are sagacious, and the baboon has a sense of humour, while the solemn mien of the cycling and banjo-playing bears is laughable to a degree. The Doddy Hurl-Harry Evans Revue Company are extremely popular, and their latest revue patches "Any Lady," is quite a pleasant interlude. Catchy songs by the Misses Billy Jones, Madeline Dormer, and Patsie Hill, and by Messrs. Dave M'Gill (a Canterbury singer with a fine voice), Vernon Sellars (a resonant baritone), Victor Dyer ("dame" of the piece), are liberally sprinkled through the humour and eccentricity of Doddy Hurl as principal comedian. Mr. Harry ' Evans . gives plenty of vim and dash to the revue, which is also characterised by graceful, dancing by the Sunshine Six.
