It is apparently the most sensational trapeze act seen in Australasia—a remarkable exemplification of daring, skill, and brilliance, with just tho right proportion of comedy furnished by one of tho trio, who works some admirably conceived Chaplin stunts. Maxwell Carew, “ London’s fashionable dame,” is a dame comedian with an enormous English vogue, who works on very original lines. He is, in fact, a female impersonator rather than an ordinary “ dame,” and a striking feature of his act is the authenticity of his feminine portraits and the completeness and gorgeousness of his wardrobe. Tom Leamore is a comedian specially imported from London—an old-time favorite of the English halls—with a style of his own which is well conveyed in the appellation bestowed upon his act, “ a whiff of the old times.” And then, to complete the “ big four” of this new combination, there are Murphy and Mack, with their really novel act ‘The Major’s Reflection.’ The idea is most ingenious. An interrupted flirtation results in the breaking of the major’s mirror, and the girl’s lover, making up like the major, duplicates his movements as he shaves, deceiving the major into the belief that lie is in front of an intact mirror. By all accounts a remarkable act. Some sis other acts of repute will be assembled round these headliners, and it should certainly bo “a feast of vaudeville,”
