OPERA HOUSE
A bright and sparkling programme was introduced to a large and appreciative audience by Fullers' Vaudeville Company at tho Opera House on Saturday evening. A novel turn was supplied by Mexican Bill with a lassoo. A pony, was ridden on to the 6tage by Miss Loie Reynolds and Bill exemplified his dexterity with the lassoo by catching the animal in various w"ays. He then gave a most skilful exhibition of rope manipulations, which drew forth rounds of applause. Miss Amy Stewart, a favourite Victorian ballad yocalist, contributed a number of 6ongs which proved most acceptable. Miss Brightio Smith still maintains her popularity, and her several numbers were loudly applauded. Jock Willis had an entirely new budget of humorous songs, which went excellently. Tlie Harmonious Huxhams provided an amusing item which provoked roars of laughter. Vernon and Mac, Miss Maud Porham, a popular comedienne, and Fred Bransgrove all contributed excellent turns. The same programmo will be repeated this evening.
