For great variety, combining with it as it does a high-toned general excellence, this week's programme at His Majesty b Theatre would be. hard to equal. Foremost on the bill are Tod Mac Lean and Miss Genevievo Lee, who present a very acceptable half-hour dramatic sketch. "Mr. 0. and Hies Maud Courtcnay are becoming more popular than ever, and their allusions to local topics are much appreciated. Tho Kennedys (Trio Claeßique) are strong favourites, while Mr. M'Kay, a baritone vocalist, is winning new laurels. Sergeant Copeland and tho "Kid' reappear with their wonderful mental telepathy tests. Other items on the programme are Kelly and Drake (dancers and comediane), and Clarence Crawford (xylophqnist).

"Patsy" is a, ftve-Jteel comedy-drama, with a novel plot, and in the star role Mise Caprice delights 'her audience.

The film is Baid to handle a delicate problem in a way that tells the truth, misses nothing, and yet gives no oltence. Tho story tells of two girls of entirely different types who are cousins. Ruth (Eubyo Do Rcemcr) grows to maturity . under the watchful care of a loving mother, whilo Lilian is neglected by her mother, whose passion for gambling is greater than her love for home and family.
