AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

HIS MAJESTY’S. His Majesty’s was again well filled last night, testifying to the wonderful popularity of The Campbell Boys, and the picture programme. The audience cheered for five minutes after the Campbell Boys had finished. To-night the Campbell Boys will give their final performance, and there will be a complete change of picture programme. The entertainment provided by the Campbell Boys mainly consists of playing the concertina. In the capable hands of these two artists the concertina becomes a really wonderful instrument, capable of rendering all classes of music. The tonal effect in their imitation of a grand organ is remarkable, and the volume. produced where necessary is a tribute to this little known instrument when played by a master hand. Another particularly well received item was the imitation of the bells of Big Ben, and their playing of popular melodies made feet tap and shoulders move in unison. Another item sees these boys dancing together intricate steps in perfect time to music supplied by themselves. They also play two tiny concertinas and another little known instrument, the French ocarino, which has a beautiful bird-like tone. The whole entertainment is put over in fine style by these jolly, smiling boys, who seem to have the one aim of making everybody enjoy themselves. “THE GIRL WHO CAME BACK.” The picture programme is headed by a Master Picture, “The Girl Who Came Back,” which is an elaborate screen version of the stage production of the same title.
