"FUN ON THE BRISTOL."

Mr J. F. Sheridan, a popular English co-median, with an able company, opens a short season in the Opera House on Monday night with the above amusing comedy sketch. The piece belongs to that clever class of stage performances whioh originated in America, and which American companies have played acceptably all over the world. "Fun on the Bristol" is par excellence- the best farco of the kind yet produced, and deals with funny people in funny situations in a way to evoke the heartiest merriment. The motto of the Company is the wellknown couplet—

" A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men."

In " Fun on tho Bristol" there is not a little, but a great deal of nonsense, and it is nonsense of that outrageous description which is calculated to make people merry even in the prospect of a Russian invasion. The life of the pieco is Mr J. F. Sheridan, who, as the Widow O'Brien, supplies the audience with most exquisite fooling. The s-JMpss of Mr Sheridan and his company inl_Kg. land and Australia is sufficient guarantee that among the discriminating playgoers of Auckland his efforts will be fully appreciated. As the season is necessarily a short one, those wishing to enjoy a carnival of fun should lose no time in securing seats.
