HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. Patrons who witnessed “Orders Un:lor Seal” last night proclaim it the mst military-naval play ever screened lore. A series of battles on land and ;ea are clearly depicted with plenty of iction and splendid effect. 1 Ins wonlerfnl play is supported by Pathe’s Third AVar Gazette, containing: England at war, British soldiers’ billeting U a country house, “Tommy” writing home, getting in the harvest, the batdeship “Kongo,” the pride of Japan, which steamed to the attack of KiaoThau for war prisoners, the barbed vi.re birdcage for Prussian war eagles, die empty saddle, General Grierson’s charger follows his master’s body to the graveside, big Austrian defeat, gallant Servian troops rout immense Austrian army on the Drina, the fighting Zouaves eager for the fight. To-morrow night Keystone’s comedy, “Mabel at the Wheel,” and “The AA’illow Pattern,” a drama of the Blue Xankin ware of China will be screened. PETER DAWSON. Speaking of Peter Dawson, the Brisbane Telegraph says Peter DawSon found himself in happy mood for liis second concert last night in the Exhibition Hall, and his performance was an exemplification of the sheer joy of singing. It was a fortunate experience for the audience, who warmed to the clever basso with ready responsiveness', and enthusiasm reached a climax when he conceded no fewer than four encores in his final bracket, Purcell’s “Passing By” and Kdwgrd Permau’s clever setting of Kiplings Australian lines, “Kangaroo and Dingo.” These encores hrough some notable features, Mr Dawson reviving the humprsorne “Hip Van Winkle” ballad that was so popular, the merry lilting “Floral Dance (Katie Moss) “The Blue Dragoons” and “Sincerity.” Here were contrasts indeed and all alike, in rollicking lay. He left the audience quite dazzled with the rare merit of the singing.” Mr Dawson gives his concert in the Stratford Town Hall ( n_ Monday next, wife i he will lie supported bv his star English Co. icert Company.
