HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Each change of programme at His Majesty's Theatre sees Mike Connors' and Queeni'o Paul's "League of Notions" Revue Company produce something oven better than what liiis gone before, last night's change being no exception to tho rule. . Great versatility and originality are displayed, by tills company of mirthmakcrs, who have mastered the art of entertaining. Songs, dances, sketches, music, and jazz noises make up a programme that goes with a swing from start to finish. "Jeannine" was featured by Miss Qucenia Paul, ami-was one of tho liits of the evening. "Chlqulta" is a picturesque song scena which is sure to stay on the programme "by request" for a long time, llke ( "Ten Little Miles From' Home." Her duets with Mike Connors, all sterling numbers, included "I lUte to Lose You," "Broken-hearted," and "Johnnie Ciillagh.in." William Beresfprd again proves himself to bo an accomplished soloist. Humour of tho most varied Kind comes.from Syd Beck, especially In, "The > Lad From Tory. Street," and he Is largely responsible for the; success of numerous. other items. Sketches' abound in the programme, theso being decidedly mirth-, provoking and cleyer. "The Burglar and the Lady," "The Street Singer," "Eno's the Great," ii nd "The Four o'Oloek Train," are amongst these, tho last named .being full of mystery and tho crcepsi Apache dancing of a clever type is given by Leila Andrews and Bert Kayne, the setting "of this telling number being tho "Iloulln Rouge C«fc.", Gladys Shaw, Phyllis Baker, Gerald Connelly, and others put over excellent musical numbers wherein the assistance of the splendid ballet is a feature. The "League of Notions Symphonlsts,". incorporating Linn Smith's jazz band, know how to deliver the goods as far as their part of the entertainment :is conecrned. Amongst their classical offerings are "Tannhauser" and "Tho Waters of Minnetonk'a," jazz being represented by , "Nothin'," and "The Golden Gate." Encores were; of course, numerous last evening when a crowded audience demonstrated its approval of the new programme, which Is to run for a week—a programme which will be just as popular as its predecessors.
