ALHAMBRA THEATRE.
The Alhambra Theatre was, as usual, full on Saturday evening, when the Jailer's company of variety artists gave another of their popular performances. Three new faces were seen on the stage, or rather three familiar faces appeared again after the lapse of a considerable period of time. The newcomers were Mr W. Will Stevens, Miss Goldie Collins, and Mr Tom Hedley. Mr Stevens was here for such a length of time previously that his powers as an entertainer will still be fresh in the memory of people. He is as amusing as ever, and was accorded a very hearty reception on Saturday evening on making his appearance before the footlights. His singing met with much favour. Miss Collin9 •is a premising youthful singer of the songs usually heard on the vaudeville stage, and was on good terms with her audience by the time she had completed the first verse -of her first song. It is almost needless to say that she was not allowed to escape without giving the audience a further proof of her ability. Mr Hedley fills a fairly big place in the bill, and: his turn takes some little time. He will bo remembered by some as an expert performer on a variety of instruments, orthodox and otherwise, his zylophone and English concertina playing being of particularly high merit. On Saturday evening Mr Hedley, tine musical tramp as he is called, went through his performance very creditably, and won the approval of all present. It is unnecessary to sx^eak in detail of the other members of the company. It is sufficient to say that Miss Swift, Miss Fraser, Miss Weston, Messrs Howard and Moody appeared in the first pait, and all acquitted themselves 1 in tho customary satisfactory way. It may be mentioned that it was Miss Fraser's last appearance, and that she was signalled out for special favour at the hands of the audience. Later on Mr Barrie Marschel and Miss Irene Carlyon appeared in a two-pait play of brief dimensions, which was very well performed. Mr Les Warton gave comio songs, and Mr Fiod Leonard went through his acrobatic and balancing act.
