LAUDER’S POPULAR AIRS
NOTED COMEDIAN WELL SUPPORTED That tuneful quality that first placed Sir Harry Lauder on the road to fame still dwells in his voice, and is pleasantly evident in the ditties he sings in the course of the programme staged during his current season at His Majesty’s. Last evening an enthusiastic Irishman in the audience created a diversion by insisting on “something Irish,” to which Sir Harry responded with a colourful lapse into the brogue of “the ould sod,” and a rendering of some sufficiently Hibernian composition about a broth of a lad called Barney. With his mannerism and the perfection of an art that is never marred by the slightest suggestion of overstressing, Sir Harry Lauder is still a great entertainer. The artist in him is evident in every gesture and inflection. His popularity as an entertainer is en* larged by his personal popularity, and the affection in which he is undoubtedly regarded. Two first-rate supporting turns are those of the Rupert Haz-ell-Elsie Day Duo, and of Fredo Brothers, wonders with the violin.
