HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
"Mecca," the Oriental burlesque now being produced by the Moon-Morns Revue Company at His Majesty's Iheatre, has all. the charm of spectacular setting, and harvests the bombastic traditions of the Sheik variety of romance. There are several Bongs and dialogues which are really witty, George Moon being tho chief humorist as an English valet, who is the mainstay of a gay little American tourist, who is captured for the Sultan's harem. Vera Sewell dances divinely, and Nell Fleming, as the spicy little American, has a great contempt for everything but enjoying herself, lhe ballets are prettily frocked in the sjmrse Eastern style, and the company ib augmented for the larger scenes. The vaudeville part of the entertainment is the best seen here for awhile, all the turns having the merit of originality. It ■ includes the Charlston Jazz Syinphonists, artists of merit in syncopation and harmony, Alex Kelleway, "the singing rover," who alternates jazz songi with those of deeper Bentiment, Grace' and Keats, an artistic pair of refined entertainers, and the Cavanna duo, harpist and slack wire acrobat.
