HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Programme No. 2 pf the "League of Notions" Revue Company was halle'd with delight by a packed house at His majesty's Theatre lust evening. From tho opening chorus, "Hello, Cutlo," to the closing number, there was not a dull moment, and every Item was given its full sharo of applause. Syd. Beck, the comedian of tho compftny, won for himself many fresh admirers, and his every apeparance on the stage was the signal for a roar of laughter. As a ventriloquist's doll ho played the fool admirably, and in tho many sketches lie was always tho principal figure and never failed to amuse. Ernie and Fred Faulasto were light comedians who cave good support. Linn Smith's Jazz Band combined jazz numbers and old favourites and accompanied Queenie Paul ill the popular "Blue Heaven," which was a feature of the production. "Deed 1 Do," and "The Storm" were two of tho band's best efforts. Among tho sketches were "After Hours," "Wandering Wives," "Tho League Hotel," and "Tho Rehearsal," all of which were bright and original. "Winter Time" was a pretty dance scena, in which Rougal and Bayno wero featured in a specialty dance. Quoenle Paul and Mike Connors set many feet a-tapping with the lilting "Dew, Dew, Dewy Day," and they had to respond with "High, High, High Up In tho Hills" before the audience was satisfied. Other vocal numbers which .pleased were "Dancing Tambourine," "Red Lips," "Save Your Sorrow," "Katinka," "Yeomen of England," "There's a Welcome for You," and "You Don't Like it Not Much," all of which had a colourful background in the well-trained ballet described as the "Exquisite Six." Les .Pearco was the outstanding vocalist of the company. The Paulasto Brothers < and Phyllis Baker and Gladys Shaw danced and san£ well.
