HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

It seems certain that during the sea- j Bon of Linn Smith's Jazz Band His Ma- ! jesty's Theatre will be a very popular rendezvous. The members of the band made their first appearance last evening, ; and were responsible for an entertain- j ment that was altogether novel. Tha audience probably realised for the first time what real jazz was, and. made it very plain that it had a distinct liking for that particular form of music The ovation accorded the company at the conclusion Of the jserforjfiance was such as is seldom witnessed. in a local theatre. The concerted numbers were "Wimmin," ''Some Sunny Day," "Oh!" and "Don't." "Georgette," and a burlesque of "Beneath Thy Window." The jaaz band do more than merely play ; they 'ing, dance, prance, twist, and turn, and do everything that no ordinary musician would dream of doing. Linn Smith, at tho piano, is an entertainment on his own, and Sammy Cope, the diminutive drummer, was always in the picture. The latter's xylophone numbers were a feature of the entertainment. The Jazz Band are here for a short season only, and ttey are well worth seeing and hearing. Others on the vaudeville programme were Trixie Ireland (soprano), Mable and Malfe (novelty dancers), and Astor and Marshall (vocalists). The George Wallace Revue Company appeared in another production, "Midnight Revels," which proved an excellent excure for eongs, dances, and humour, all very acceptable. George Wallace (as Archie,' the hero) gave another excellent performance, and he. had the support of a well-balanced. company. The programme will be repeated throughout the week.
