Speaking' of the monkeys, the Dominion said: “The star turn at His Majesty’s Theatre is Bradley’s Monkey Hippodrome and Monkey Jazz Band, now in its second week and more popular than ever. The cute little creatures, with their little cymbals, big bass viol and other instruments, kept everyone fascinated, while the advice to “watch the conductor’’ was well given, his enthusiastic gyrations causing shrieks of laughter. The monkeys conduct their own show, even to announcing the items of the programme. The wire-walk-ing, acrobatic, weight-lifting and flying trapeze performances would put many a human being to the blush. This simian troupe is■ the best that has ever ■been seen in Wellington.’’ In addition to the monkeys, an excellent I programme will be provided by. Foley’s Celebrity Vaudeville, including master magic, witty cartoons, hand shadows, etc. The prices of admission are: 3s, 2o : and children half-price, , ...i iJiliJ COSY THEATRE.
