HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Two Australians, ono of them in a stalo of ghastly seasickness. In a setting of say acnorllas, form the meagre plot for "In Spain," tho musical comedy, which forms tlio second part of tho new bill by tho StilYy and Mo Itcvuc Company. That there is no real plDt matters nothing, for everything and anything is an excuse for tho appearance of tlio two favourlto comedians, wboso dialogue this week is quito clever. Misses Amy liochello and Sadie Galo aro as usual effective in all they do; Miss Kocliello cuts a dashing flguro in black shawl and chtc hat, and sings "Carisslma" swoetly; Miss Gale assumes a delightful accent aud a nalveto that is refreshing in tho rolo of tho Spanish girl, who captures tho fancy of Mo, the Australian bull-flghter; tholr passages are most diverting, and Miss Gala sings "Barcelona" and "Manayanna" with real charm. Peter ! Brooks' singing of "Beneath Thy Window" is tuneful, and Dan Woldon has a congenial rolo with several songs. His most successful offering Is a production song scena, "Cairo " with the ballet girlß assisting. Dan Dunbar and tho Charleston players figure in the plot, while Jack Kelleway Is responsible for some danco steps to "Shj Annie," with band accompaniment, that bid fair to bring down the house. There aro several sketches, Including "Wanted a Wife," and "Servant, Old and New." Amy Kocliello and Bob Graham harmonise well in a duct, "Cuddlo Closer"; Sadio Galo has several catchy songs, notably "Breezlii" Along"; Bob Graham and tho Kadio Six put on a ploasing song and danco act; Peter Brooks lias a "Haunting Melody" turn with the ballet girls assisting. Indeed, tho Radio Six aro strenuously engaged most of tho evening, and tholr frocklng a delight, not to montlon their effective foot work. Tho Symphonlsts play, among othera, "Red Lips," "Reaching for the Moon," "Crazy Words," and other jazz numbers, and conclude their act with Stiffy as conductor, and Mo putting in good work with tho drums. Tho two chief comedians frivol to the huge delight of the audience, and Mo rcpea's his imitation of birds and beasts, utterly ridiculous, but mirth provoking. Altogether tho programme Is ono to appeal. Daisy Morrltt, Sylvia Gardner, and Heather Bain do Individual work that is clever, and tho Radio Six porform acrobatics that win for them unstinted applause.
