HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE
UR EE Z Y V AUDEV IJjLE. “Get. a Move >On” as the energetic title given this week’s revue and savours of an unusual amount of bright, brisk, hroozv fun at His Majesty’s Theatre. The Elton Black Town Topics Revue Company has become noted for its originality and gay irresponsibility, and it is said that this week’s production is even more than ordinarily well supplied with lively comedy, and provides a riotously merry entertainment from start to finish, with suitable musical numbers, specialty dances, ensembles, character sketches, etc., that should come well up to the standard of the most discriminating patrons. The vaudeville section is also of a refreshing nature, comprising tu-o new acts with the additional merit of the marvellous child entertainers, Lorna, Lance and Co., a wonderfully gifted troupe of four winsome kiddies, who are proving a powerful attraction with their brilliant performance on the violin, piano, ban-jo-mandolin, and a fully equipped jazz drum. These clever children are making a triumphant tour of tlio Fuller circuit, and with little Leslie, undoubtedly the smallest drummer in the world, more than deserve the enthusiastic approval they are receiving nightly. Drew and Romaine, making their first appearance to-night, are a couple of exceedingly versatile boys, who with the assistance of a piano, provide an amusing and original act of the latest topicalities in song and patter. These clever boys write up all their own songs and material and are well abreast of the times in an ingenious duet, “1931.” Uiis act has had a highly successful season in the southern centres, and Wellington patrons can look forxvard to an original treat. Keith and Witt, coming direct from England, also make their initial .opening in New Zealand to-night. Pianoforte, singing and dancing are their specialities, of which they make a brilliant success. This bright bill of comedy and music will be presented throughout the week.
