STILL FROLICING

CLEM DAWE AT HIS MAJESTY’S Combining energy and finesse, the “Midnight Frolics” are still sporting on the stage of His Majesty’s Theatre, while the audience which is in the habit of filling every seat in the stalls, circle and gallery, is laughing itself hoarse. . . - The new programme is made up ox *>*> “Frolics” of every kind, versatility being one of the company’s many good qualities. Clem Dawe, the man who put the rubber face into comedy, is the big laugh-getter of the outP.t, and ho has the able support of able comedians and comediennes Next to the many sketches and potted plays in importance, are the well-produced musical numbers, supported by the high-stepping of an attractive chorus. The music varies from something very nearly classic from the fiddle of Gregory Ivanoff, the Russian violinist, to the snappy ‘•Red Lips” sung by the pleasing Phyllis Amery, with the help of the “girls ” The vocal trio, Lilian Crisp, William Perryman and Oscar Beck, get great receptions for their harmonising and their solos. “ • The Midnight Frolics” will appear nightlv and at matinees for another week of two at His Majesty s Theatre.
