HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

"Get a Move On," a bright and vivacious pot-pourri of music, laughter, and dancing, ia Elton Black's offering at His Majesty's Theatre this week. Staged last evening for the. first time, the production further proves that Mr. Black and his company are improving as their season goes on, and, although in one or two numbers the artists employ a maximum of energy with a minimum of result, their efforts are, on the whole, very successful. A sketch, "Venus Calling," ia, in fact, decidedly good, and Elton Black, as the husband who is "entertaining an angel" unawares, and who has some difficulty in secreting her from the gaze of an unexpectedly returning wife, is the essence of humour. Neva Carr Glynn is exotic and fascinating as the visitor, and Alice Bennetto, as the wife, certainly acts the part if capability for incessant talking is any criterion. Mr. Black, Charles Sherman, Percy M'Kay, and Charles Megan are laughable in a couple of comedy interludes. A novelty duet, "Sometime," by Alice Bennetto and Arthur Clarke, is quite pretty, and Percy M'Kay'a fine bass voice is heard to advantage in "The Floral Dauce." Pretty ballets and a song and simultaneous dance, "For tlie Two of Us" (Charles . Megan and Neva Carr GJynn), must also be mentioned. In the vaudeville part of the programme Lorna Lance and Co. are first favourites and deservedly bo. Four clever kiddies, their patter, instrumental music, and song make instant appeal. Unfortunately unlike Peter Pan, they imwt grow up. Harry North, "the. concertina swapgie," is still as enjoyable as ever, and this week he plays more happy selections. Drew and Romaine, with their piano, and Frank Foster and Robert Needham, in excerpts from grand opera, complete the bill.
