HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

. A. fresh * but was': presented last night by Xat'PlillUps'E "Whirligigs" revue company and provided further evidence of' the increasing popularity of these already very popular entertainers.

A very picturesque production was "Hong Kong Dream Girl," featuring Sylvia Gardner and the ballet.
