HIS MAJESTY’S

“LADY, BE GOOD’’ The heavy downpour of rain on Saturday evening did not damp the enthusiasm of the huge audience that filled His Majesty’s to witness a sparkling performance of “Lady, Be Good.” Bright and clever, with catchy tunes and ludicrous humour, together with a ballet whose work is beyond that which has been seen in Auckland for many a long day, drove all cares of the weather away. From the rise of the curtain, and as incident after incident rushes by, all dull thoughts soon disappear before the spontaneous laughter caused by the artists. Miss Elsie Prince, as Judy, surpasses herself in a role demanding infinite versatility; yet she fills this with a natural ability and gaiety which seem without an effort. With her Jimmy Godden. ss Watty Watkins, the very enterprising family lawyer, whose activities are by no means lawful, give to the performance that bright element of humour which permeates the piece. Other comedy parts are all well portrayed, that of “Bertie,” the lanky slab of inanity by Charlton Morton, being well handled. After seeing “Lady, Be Good,” by such an excellent company, dull cares and worry are no more. Wednesday will see the last of this excellent comedy, which will be followed by the old favourite, “No, No, Nanette.”
