HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Quick moving and with plenty of fun, "Some Night," the new George Wallace revue at His Majesty's Theatre was much enjoyed by Fuller patrons last night. It was George Wallace's revue in more senses than one, for not only did the clever comedian write It, but he definitely "made" it with his drollery, his dancing, and bis unfailing appearance at, the right moment with just the right remark. But although "George" was the mainspring of the show, the- other members of the company ably supported their principal, and with song and dance, and the latest in music, set the seal of success on the entertainment. A rollicking sea scene opened the .first half of the programme and made opportunity for several hearty choruses, after which Tup Dudley, Maida Jones, Jack Scott, and the Sir Rascals sang "Tune Up Your Toes," and proceeded to take their own advice in sound fashion. Marshall Crosby's clear bass voice was well suited to the two numbers he ,chose, "Somewhere South of Shanghai" and an engaging air, "Pride of Tipperary." "Peaceful Dreams," a bedroom, scene, was played by George Wallace, Lulla Fanning, Marshall ' Crosby, Maud Stewart, .Tack Scott, and SI Meredith, and proved untrue to its title and most acceptable to the audience. Before the interval George Wallace and his band of Flaming Youths played some bright jazz music, concluding with a foxtrot arrangement of "II Trovatore," and Maida Jones introduced a lilting ditty, "Good Little, Bad Little You," which she sang with George "Wallace. "Some Night," after a neat prologue, unfolded itself as a tale of the underworld with drink, dope, and piecarts prevalent, and George Wallace's'attempts to act as attendant to the latter ' the most amusing thing onXthe programme. Musical'numbers Included "Smile All the While,"

"Oh Boy, How It Was Raining," and' "Old Pal." Several dramatic episodes were introduced in which Lulla Fanning took pride of place, and altogether the revue was up to the company's best standard. Fullers' orchestra, conducted by Era Beacham, put lnigood work, and so did the deft-footed ballet of six.
