"LOOK WHO'S 1U3E15." ttSn l A ,riS T fc TO\" Look W, °' a Ue™" Wfllch the .Tack Waller Company i; vn . Bontmg at the G rami Opera, House, is still drawing. excellent houses. H j 3 full of bright mueio and clevor comedy skits. Uno of tho most humorous turns'is that of tho "tired" flrouian who takes his telephone rings _resnectinß fires very casually. Mr. Waller 19 a host in himself, audtho whole conyrany is first rate, HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The current nroßrammo at His Majesty's Theatre will bo repeated for tho last time this evening. Tho chief attraction next Monday evening will bo Hiss Hntfr Bndd. billed as the "Merry Girl with the 8mjlo," who ia snXd to bo one of the biggest stars yet brought out to nppear in Antipodean vaudeville. A Sydney journal has the following to say of this Rifted youim lady's talents: "Groater than either Ada Iteove or Wish Wvmio in their respective enhercs Iβ Ruth Build in hers. Miss Budd's danc-Mff-siuging-trapezo performance is juat rs artistically perfect-just as bewilderiiiK and entrancing—as Adolino Genee's dancine. Can you think of anything more glowing than that to write of Miss Budd? Well, if you can, you ipay say it for me, with the knowledge- that in doing so you liavo my whole-hearted endorsement." The management announces that patrona should book early as tho demand for seats promises to be very large. The plan i 3 open at the Bristol. "TORN TO THE EIGHT." The Grand. Opera, House will be occuipiwi by J. and N. Tait's Now Comedy Company from Monday evening until Saturday, November 17, when the successful comedy, "Turn to the Bight," ivill be staged for the first time in WtillnjjtOß. Tho new company includes several'new actors and aotreascs, of whom report speaks highly. Walter P. llio" ardeon, John Junior, and Stapletou Kent are three of the leading members in the play. They servo sentences in tho same gaol, and it so happens that aftonwde i£e three become inseparable companions, llr. Kiohardson (Joe Bascom) was unjUßtly convicted, but with the other two it was different, but following the example of Joo they decide to go stratght-except for a lapse or two with a view to getting tho Bascom family out of a difficulty. Othor faotors operating as a steadier are the benovolenco of ooo's> mother, and the desiro to make good for tho sake of the girls they have como to love. Purthor, the three of them are interested in tho samo business, so it Is that thoy have a, sort of common lot, and are rarely separated throughout tho evening. "Admirably have Mr. Junior. Mr. lUchardedn, and Mr. Kent caught tho spirit of the play," sajs a Sydney critic—"Theatre Magazine." "llr, Richardson is the most characterful 01 the three-quiclt, eager, aad impulsive. Mr. Kent differs by reason of tho dry comedy with whioh ho ia for ever convulsing tho audicneo viith laughter. Not one of them for a, moment ever thinks of himself to the exclusion of tho others. With thorn it is a matter of team work all through, tho end in view being, not [ tho scoring of an individual hit-but the general success of the play. In parts so very much tho same and yet so different, it would bo hard to say who does tho beet of tho throe. "Excellent!" is tho most fitting I can make I with regard to the lot of them." "Turn to tho Eight" will lie played for six iiichts only. The box plans are' at the Bristol. KING'S TBBATBE. A secret service story, with a freeh I,uru of plot, is promißod iu "Tho Stolen Treaty," tho star feature to be screened at the King's Theatre to-day, at 2.30.

All unknown to tho world at large the fop ia cno of tho cleverest of the United States' Secret Service men, and is watching a -well-known Prince, who is at the head of a band of dangta'ous men, whoio operations aro world-wide. Thrilling escapee come thick and fast, and an air of reality is said to be over tho whole drama, as the\scencs as set in modern New York, where such happenings, in spito of their perilous nature, seem to ajrrivo quite naturally. Connie Griffiths is said to earn high honours by her exceedingly clever portrayal of tho society girl who longs for adventures, and gets a long way more than her share. Charta Chaplin will also be seen In hie latest, "Easy Street," described ae a cloan comedy, full of novel and laughable happenings. EVERYBODY'S THEATBE.

Then comes a stranger, George Fowler, and eomething in Ms manliness and boyishness found a soft spot in tho heart of "The name." So George Fowler made another start, and it was on tho money lent by tho strangely-altered "Flamo." Then "The Flame" tells tho ; boys that sho is going to » lady. "It costs money to live straight," eho add«. "You'vo often thrown your nuggets.at mo for going bad. Won't you do tho same to help me live good?" And thoy do.
