HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
THE FINE NEW LONDON PLAYHOUSE
RECENTLY OPENED BY
REERBOHM TREE

The new theatre Is a strikngly handsome build
Ing The exterior Is In the French Renaissance
style; there Is not another building In London with
n more elaborate facade than Its frontage presents
to the Haymarket The interior is distinctly light
and elegant. Strolling in at the stage door a few
steps bring one on to the stage. which Is on the
ground floor, and the first impression Is that the
theatre Is strangely small. 1t looks excessively so
to those familiar with the old buildings. Every
thing is changed, and there is nothing in common
with the buildng-the second OF its three prede-
cessors-in which John Braham, the tenor and
Nine Catalin made their greatest successes, and
where Sontag Gris, Rubini. Tamburini, Labache
and Mario earned their fame There is less In
common with the later structure, which the present
one replaces and which was practically unused
because It was found to have been so constructed
that the expenses must always exceed the receipts
There Is no likelihood of such result to the pres
ent venture.
The new theatre Is elegant In proportion and Is
being tastefuy fitted up. It would seem as though
everything has been sacrificed to the comfort OF
the audience. One or two points are particularly
