ALLAN HAMILTON'S SEASON.

Quite a throng gathered nt His Majesty's Theatre this morning waiting for the box plans for the Allan Hamilton forthcoming season to open, and when**the plans were placed' on .view a big rush for seats set m.; •■•On* Monday evening next "Beauty and the Barge" will be staged 'at His Majesty's Theatre, .to be folloM-ed on Tuesday evening by "Why, Men Love Women,' 5 and on Wednesday t)ie season closes with a revival of "A Message frpm Mars?' Referring to tlie, Sydney production of "Beailty and tlie Barge," the Sun says •—• Tlie breezy, crisp .dialogue, the clean -Gttit comedy, and exquisite scenery; ill addition to the distinctive character 'creations of an author who understands liunian' nature and sees" it m its most humorous pluses, rnadethe production m every way a welcome one. Its three acts are brimful of incidents, which tumble over each other iii a riot of" mirth and merriment. The "story is never tinged or intricate ; it unfolds itself as naturally os the plots and plans of everyday life, and the audience laughs with' the characters, hut never at them. Tho players noted the stovy as well as the authors wrote it and that is saying much, for Mr W. W. Jacobs, as a writer has an inimitable style. . .' There was not a dull moment, nor a dull character m the, whole piece." ._- .[.
