HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

THE VICE-REGALS. The ahow-loving public will brace up and look pleasant at the news that the famous Vice-Regals are to open here on Monday next at His Majesty’s Theatre. This celebrated combination of first-class comedians and musical artists have succeeded in making a name for themselves for the last two seasons in Melbourne, and during the last summer made a new record for themselves by playing at St. Kilda, Melbourne, to packed houses for five months continuously to enormous business. On this occasion the management have pleasure in announcing that they have secured the services of the extremely popular comedian, Mr Claude Dampier, the dilly-silly comedian who made all New Zealand giggle when he was through here with the Red Dandies a few years ago. Mr Dampier is paid to be funnier than ever, and during the Melbourne season had to respond to encores to the point of exhaustion. Mr Dampier is supported by Miss Hilda Attenboro. a charming actress who supported Miss Marie Tempest in Australia. in the company are also the eccentric comedian and lightning sketch artisr, G. P. ("Pat”) Hanna; “Bobby” Pearce, (he operatic baritone; Johnny Marks, Comedian; Misses Hilda and Jessie Meadows, accomplished musical sketch artists and balladists; Clyde' Fields, champion dancer and whistler; , Norman French, Chas Stewart, Chris. Kilner. and Wallace' Lloyd. A very capable orchestra will support this fine company, under the baton of Chas. Southey, with Miss Doris Denue at the piano, and Mr Chas. Stewart, the famous jazz-drummer. The box plan is at the Bristol to-morrow morning, when seats can be reserved for the first six nights of the season.
