KILLERS VAUDEVILLE. ■Happiness ruled once more nt Fuller's Opera House lam night, for the new bill wns set off with a swing.

These nine little wonders are an accumulation • oT kiddles ranging from live to thirteen years old, and each and all are distinguished by their acrobatic ability, A feature of their turn Is tile Apache dance, carried through In convincing and* savage action by the two smallest of these clever children. The Smithsonian* are newcomer* here. They are a pair of male vocalists, tenor and buss, who blend, their tuneful volceß well. Hnl Rale is an entertainer at the piano, and lie gives a song or two. a few amusing anecdotes, and interesting musical interpretations of various things. Balto, the equilibrists, balances on two-logged chatr-s that are swinging on " rope, and keeps the hearls or the audience Jumping Into their throats, as it were. 'His turn conjee Jnst before that of Eddie Martyn. a slim fellow who Is more than passably clever with hits feet, and give* hilarious Imitations of well-known subjects. The Walter George Sunshine Players are staging their concluding revue. They cali It "The Orange Girl." and for sprightly dialogue, gay gags, hrillant songs and scenes,, and pretty ballets, choruses, and dances It fairly "takes the cake. ,.
