HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Stimulating, v seductive, syncopation ■ will be an ■ outstanding Jfeature of tha : new programme at His Majesty's Theatre to-night. Linn Smith's Royal Jazz Band, organised ■' by Sir ;Benjamin Fuller as "Australia's Answer to America," tumbles into gay and - gladsome jazz, with artistic finish. Grotesque trombone warblings and waltz oddities, are tho real thing in jazz. Linn Smith is the pianist, while the trombonist (Dave Meredith) presents an inebriated player joining in the happy hysteria led by a reckless saxophonist (Paul Jeacle). The drummer Cope) smites out right and left amidst his noise appliances, and the violinist (Arthur Curnick) ■ fiddles with zest. "With all these queer players music is always the motive of the band. All the players are Australian; they have had no oversea "training"; they, copy npbody, and as enemies to "Mr.. Gloom" Jthey are public benefactors. One particular item is "Beneath Thy Window," in which the saxophonist and trombonist make love to one another in most absurd fashion: The band has been, a "riot 1; in other cities. : Other items on to-night's programme will include Aston and Marshall, ■operatic duettists,! i who will make a. first appearance. Mabla and. Malfe will appear in new comedy; and Trixie Ireland will be heard in latest! song numbers: The George Wallace Revue Company's latest contribution 'to the programme will be "Midnight Revels," which includes boundless hilarity. . :
