HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The weekly change of programme and the reappearance of the George Storey Revue Company drew a crowded attendance to His Majesty's Theatre last evening. It proved a very entertaining programme, though there was a good deal of Jt that was barely in the best taste. This particularly applied to the dialogue in the revue. The company has seen some changes since its last appearance in Wellington, and is perhaps' a better combination than before, and the chorliß is. distinctly well chosen. The opening piece was the tale of two bailiff, s men, entitled "The Men in Possession." It opened in a ; financier's office, moved to the outside of a building into which the two men were endeavouring to gain entrance, and proceeded to an anniversary dinner. In each case there was a Wealth of diverting conversation and a number of pretty songs. George Storey and Frank Haining, as the men, were never placed in better parts, and they were ably supported. The pick of tha songs were ''L? 11*"'" BUnS ty Miss Morgan, and We re Sandwich Men," presented by Butler, Monument, and Erickson. On the vaudeville half of the bill a wonderful reception was given to Fullers' Eleven Wonders, a collection of child prodigies who sang, danced, and tumbled With the greatest facility. In .every cage their work was without fault, and some of it was amazingly well done. Frank Perryn, an English comedian, sang well, and followed up with a good collection of clever stories and a fine monologue entitled "The Whitest Man on Earth. ' The Mullaney Brothers, in patter, song, and dance, were undoubtedly at their best in simultaneous dancing, nothing better than their work having been seen in Wellington. Maxwell Carew and Niblo and Doris, each m song apd comedy of a different class, were well received, and the programme was ably supported by Frank Crowther and his orchestra.
