HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Vaudeville and revue at His Majesty's Theatre this week will help along a couple of hours in the evening very comfortably and enjoyably, for the new programme, presented for the first time last evening, have many features to 'recommend it. George Wallace and his company of revua players are appearing in a musical farce, "Harmony Bow," the home of the "tough," and the plot has to do with! one "Dreadnought." This worthy is officially-re-cognised at headquarters as the world's worst policeman, a distinction very well merited. The part is played by George Wallace, and he makes of it one long laugh. His burlesquing is decidedly clever, and his style not less effective for being quiet. The final scene, wherein he engages-in terrific combat with the bad man cf Harmony Row, very much against his wishes and good judgment, is a long laugh from start to finish, for his ring craft is much less praisworthy than even his police duty, but nevertheless virtue triumphs, as in all well built and. popular revues and musical comedies. George Wallace has a very happy knack--;of keeping, people laughing. In the vaudeville section of the programme are Glaude de Oar, the acrobatic waiter, with new tricks and surprises for those who have seen him before and believe that they have seen his complete performance. Eric Masters, in .character songs; Pinto, a contortionist extraordinary ; and the popular Jubilee Trio in delightfully harmonised plantation melodies, including "Swanee River," "In the Morning," "Down in the Cornfields, and lullabies and lighter numbers _ The programme will' be repeated this evening.
