HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

CRYSTAL PALACE ENTERTAINERS

, There was a large and appreciative audience at His Majesty’s Theatre last 1 evening, when the Crystal Palaoe entertainers made their first appearance in (lisborne. A capital programme of the variety character was submitted and was most enthusiastically reoeived, enooros being the order of the everting. Special interest centred in the appearance of Mr Bob Hall, who breatsd a most favorable impression. Mr Hali is one of the best comic singers that Gisborne theatre-goers have been privileged to hear, and for each of his numbers last evening he was four times re-called. “ I think we shall have some rain” was his first song, and it was followed with “ The German Bandsman”, a laughing song entitled M Got em,”“How to .Love,” “Lucky Jim,”"Bertiein Love,” all of whioh were very cleverly rendered, and provoked hearty laughter, Mise Eva Brady charmed the audienoe with her singing of the Indian love song, I “ Anona,” and as an enoore shß rendered I “ 1 am proud to say I know her ” in a j pleasing manner, In the second half of I the programme Mias Brady sang, “ Ton I never know her worth until she has gono,” I and “ Sing us the old songs.” Mr Dudley I Trent sang “ The Storm Fiend,” and in | response to an imperative encore gave I ” Tommy.” He was also heard to ad- j vantage in the patriotic number, 11 As a I mother lovbb her son,” and other songs. I Miss Ida Brady was several timeß recalled | for her songs, which inoluded “ Honey say I dat you’ll be mine,” and the descriptive I ballad, 11 1 was not born with a silver I spoon.” Mr Will Graham was highly sue- I oessful in his ooon specialties, “ The Chilly I Man,” and “ My old Dutoh,” for which he I was deservedly encored. The entertain- I ment concluded with a' humorous and mirth-provoking comedietta, entitled “ The I Coming Man.” Mr Horace Wilmot offioi- I ated as musical director. The company I purpose making a tour of the country dis- I tricts, and will appear at Ormond on Mon- I day next. Te Karaka on the I7th, Te Arai { on the 18th, Patutahi on the 19th, Tolago I Bay on the 20th, Tokomaru on the 21st, I Waipiro on the 23rd, and Tuparpa on the I 24th.
