OPERA HOUSE. The npw holiday programme submitted at Fullers Opera House last night fully satisfied the capacity audience. A feature of the evening was the return of Miss Helen Chart-*, who made such a big hit a while ban! with her character studies. and child stories artistically rated in the manner of the infantile pest. She has an inexhaustible fund cf things that the terrible infniit gets off at the expense of hi- or her elders, and her drolleries or the Household, told n la child, are irresistibly funny, while her character studies proved equally artistic, and an occasional whistling fantasia lent effective variety to n turn that wns immensely popular. Two other popnhir reappearpneps were those of the planologutot, -T. Wallingford Tatp. and of Ernest Brinkman nnd the Steele Sisters. j n their breezy sonz sketches, wbile n clever nnd bright novelty turn wns provided by I*ps Adras. who special!-,, in acrobatics. Then there w.is Itenrt French, in his inimitable whimsicalities of conjuring and rnimcry. wtth onlte a fresh budget of fonts, in which the cleverness rS the artist is concealed under a clonk or infectious laughter. Miller nnd Raine.v'ri snappy witticisms, combined with clever instrumental eccentricities and dancing, were presented at n new nnglft that Increased their popularity; nnd Evans nnd Deon. in their combinntiop of dancing, cross-talk, nnd breezy songs. nls 0 made a hit with the audience. Carlton Mnx. the ventriloquist, submitted n new line of humorous tnlk for his dummy "Jerry" that took on .it once; James Schofleld's renor lyrics and laughing song made pleasing variety: the stories and recitntions of Harrington Reynolds, jun.. and the tumbling and trapeze turn of Desperado and I„ Rose completed nn entprtainmpnt that was thoroughly enloyable throughout. This programme will be continued nichtlv during the week, and will he presented at a holiday m.itinee to-morrow afternoon. .RATHIK STUAP.T.
