HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
\ftcr 'i first half given over to vaudeville, this week's programme at His Majesty's Theatre passes on to a niusic.nl comedy revuette entitled "Oh, Eddie." Tlio various scenes centre round the return of the prodigal son, Captiiu Harry (Dan Weldon), to the home ot bis sister, Eddie (Amy Roehelle) who has little trouble In making a friendship between him and her wanl Phoebe (Sadie Gale). Ibis is not until he has nearly been barred from outering the house, however, through tlio behaviour of his orderlies, played by btlffy and .Mo, whose antics provide a wealth of mirth at the expense of the hostess and her friends. The revue provides scope for all the abilities ot a very talented company which makes the most of its oportunities. The Radio Six- appear in constant changes of costume and get plcntv of life Into their ballet dancing, .there arc some extremely humorous sketches in the vaudeville section, where tho popular comedians, Stiffy and AIo, keep the house ill continued roars of laughter. Jack Kellcway is an able assistant to the two principals and his eccentric dancing is very clever. Amy Rochelle and Sadie Gale, whoso songs are given with delightful backgrounds sing pleasingly. Peter Brooks also wins favour as a soloist. One would like to hear more from the Charleston Six, whose solitary appearance when they give a lively rendering of the latest jazi; tunes, earns warm applause. The company would enhance their popularity, however, if one or two of the alleged jokes were eliminated. p
