Liddiard's band of clever, young chil teen opened their short season here at the Theatre Royal last night with "The Babes in the Wand," described as a turle que in two acts. Qwing to counter attractioni, there was a very poor house for a first night, but those who were present showed their appreciation by repeated demandi for encores.

The Bijou Troubadours is a charming com bination of tiny lots who are well trained jo their line, and compare favourably with Poli ard's Lilliputians, who so recently delighted Hongkong audience's. They are light on their' teet, possess good voices and they have the ad. fantage of enunciating their lines without the
