MAJESTIC, TO-NIGHT.

A splendid aiTay of- stage and screen talent was assembled for the lateki British production, "Man of Mayfair," which opens to-night at the Majestic Theatre. Jack Buchanan is the star, in the part of a titjed "man abo.ut town," whose love for a pretty daricer Teads hirn into sonie delightfully humorous ' situations, and Joan Barry is his leading lady, Nora Swinburne, heroine of "These Chai'ming People;" Warwick Ward, one of our finest screen aetors; Ellaline Terriss and Lillian Braithwaite; both' stage and screen celebrities ; Cyril Raymond, Sebastian Smith, Chaiies Quartermaine and J. Pisber White complete the brilliant cast. Jack5 Buchanan has the perfectly fitting role of the young and wealthy Lord Kingsland, whose light-hearted love affairs are the despair of his seri-ous-minded Aunt Sarah (Lillian 1 Braithwaite). In order to end his affairs with Elaine Barcley (Nora Swinburne), whose husband (Warwick Ward), has returned from India on leave, William, (Lord Kingsland) , i pretends that he has become infatuated with Grace Irving (Joan Barry), a new and fascinating dancer who is delighting London in the sticcessful revue, "Lazy Ladies." To carry out his bluff, Wiliam obtains an introduction to the dancer, an,d does become infatuated with her— moro than that, he falls genuinely in love. But although he discovers that his lady love is a modern Cinderella, ' shedding her beautiful clothes beforje she goes home at 12 o'clock each night to a cottage in the' country — where she pretends to her mother that she is merely the famous Miss Irving-'s dresser— lie is not able to play the part of her "Prince Gharming" until he has braved many dangers (including the stings of angry bees), for her sake. ,
