ENTERTAINMENTS

MIRTH AND VARIETY HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. Varied and bright is the current bill at* tri» Majesty’s Theatre. It includes everything in which the theatregoer finds delight, music, thrills, cleverness, and humour, and big houses continue to follow it through. Harry North, arrayed ae a_swagger, pulls his concertina out an the roadside and plhys himself a host of well-known air© which the audience likes. Remona, the world wonder-woman, amazes the onlookers with the products of her complex brain and deft fingers. To write letters upside down is, to her, simplicity itself. She completes her turn by demonstrating that the human brain is capable of doing five things at once in amazing fashion. She undertakes to write a question and an answer with their letters alternating, moke all the letters upside down and backwards, provide the answer to a seven-figure sum and do a monologue, all at the one time. And she does it. Lee Stirling gags and plays entertainingly on his comet. Risky-looking work is that undertaken by the Baltos. Perfect balancing is demonstrated. Mello and Nello appear again, and their turn is as clever a thing as there is on the bill. The tumbling that they perform is exceptionally fine. Coscia and Coelho delight the audience with their music, which truly is worth hearing. A veqtriloquial aot entitled “Fun on the Farm” is staged by Victor the Great, and proves unusually amusing. Hats McKay dispenses music from various string instruments, including his singing guitar, and the programme is concluded oy the Gordon Eottie Trio, acrobats rad equilibrists, who have no notion if The limitations which should be imposed upon mortals when their footiold is an insecure wire. Monday will see a welcome addition to the bill in the shape of Daddy Hurl and his popular revue company, who will produce a whirl of gaiety entitled “Sons of the Sea.”
