CELEBRITY VAUDEVILLE.

At His Majesty’s Theati’o to-morrow night, the now J. O. Williamson Celebrity, Vaudeville Company will commence a season that is limited to four nights, ending on Wednesday next. Ton acts from all parts of the globe are represented. “Canary Opera,” one of the acts, is tho title of what is described as tho most remarkable act in tho vaudeville world to-day. Joseph Belmont, who is responsible for this offering, is also the man who furnishes Europe arid America with the whistling and bird song records. He has with him his partner, whose vocal duets and instrumental numbers on tho saxophone, with piano accompaniment, are the moans of inspiring this chorus of feathery songsters to harmonise and trill to tho delight and enjoyment. of all who hear them. Heading the bill is that famous comedian, Dick Henderson, “ tho man who made the Queen laugh.” Some idea of Henderson’s capabilities as a mirthmaker may be gained from the fafct that ho has appeared before tho Royal Family twice by command. Rich and Adair present another act that is said to bo a. novelty and a triumph of acting combined. Phil Rich in America to-day is looked upon as tho greatest “old man” delineator in tho country. His partner was a former “Miss Chicago.” An act that should charm and delight everyone is that of Marie Lawton, tho little lady with the harp and the mellow voice. A dancing turn is presented by Los Zcnza Frcrcs, direct from Paris, presenting “something different in dancing.” Tho mighty Spanish trapeze artist, Valencia, causes thrill upon thrill. Tho Lee Sisters, “up in tho air,” have a remarkable offering; and Colin Crane, eminent baritone, is not tho least, on the bill. Stella Laniondc is a vivacious soubretto. The box plan arrangements appear in our advertising columns.
