FULLERS' OPEEA HO.TJSE

A particularly bright pragraynine was submitted to a large holiday audience at Fullers' Opera House on Mondayiniffirt, ttio revue "In Harmony Row" and •supportin.r items being of a high staiid%a. Tt»v Kemble. a clever female impersonator, wlw did not reveal bis se>( till tbe efnd of his act, was warmly applauded., yfe singi popular songs well, and even though lie did not remove his wig the *audience would be quite satisfied with what, be has to offer. Leo Martin, who playecH catchy tunes on all sorts o f things, rrom battles filled with water to a trombone. occupied fifteen minutes or the programme accejrjtably, while tho olfi favourites, the Si ,•- Kinnon Boys, presented an appropriate N'e\V/ Year's Eve turn, with a Highland dance and music on tne bagpipes. Their :oe dancing was also fully appreciated. Mablc and Malfe were seen in some dani.es. classical and otherwise, and their witty gags au/i small talk made everyone laugh. Mable s singing was a feature or tins item. Asion and Marshall, two singers, rendered a number or solos and duets. The revue "in Harmons' Row" was presented by Georce (Onkus) Wallace's comedy compam". in a refreshingly unorthodox manner, alt members or the combination taking a full share or the work. As the policeman, George Wallace scored a complete success, his quaint mannerisms am! absurd facial contortions evolcing roars of laughter. Mies Marie Nyman, as Snifter Jones, c newsboy, played her -part in a pleasii.g manner, a song concerning mc hardships of a UTs on the streets selling.papei'3 being heartily applauded. Tom Lincoln, as a slogger. slogged and slouched about in a convincing manner, while Marshall Crosby as the inspector caused much merriment when he "stirred up" the "cop" in an endeavour to stimulate the poor boy's jaded neves. Others in the company took their parts with credit, while the chorus, which is exceptionally well 'rocked, sang ,„nd danced to the satisfaction of all present.

"In Harmony Row" and the other numbers win be presented during the remainder or the week.

TOWN HALL CABARET.

The spirit or carnival was in—well In— the air at the Town Hall on New Year's Eve, when Mr. Herbert i. Bentley's Cabaret proved an attraction to a large number of merry couples intent on greeting tbe New Year with music and dance. The ball had been beautifully decorated, an excellent orchestra engaged, and everything well organised. Under these circumstances patrons enjoyed themselves to the full. At intervals during the evening Miss Anita Webster's pupils presented some graceful dance numbers, and members of the Humphrey Bishop Company contributed items, all of which were enthusiastically received. At midnight, when 19i4 was "rolled" in, the revelry reached its highest, and continued until the early hours, when the dancers went home, well content with the opportunities provided them ror "A Happy New Year."
