OPERA HOUSE.
As is always the case on Monday nights, the Opera House was well filled yesterday evening, when a change of programme was put on. The first part is <*lign:ficd by a new "set," a fine representation of the deck of a steamer —ono of tho brightest and cleanest settings that vaudeville has known in Christchurch. This part of the programme is varied, if it is not.of great excellence. Mies Vera Murray is a clever toe dancer, and Miss -Kitty Quinn's male impersonations are bright and pleasing. Miss Stella Bead's ' soubrette work was second in popularity only to the more diversified turn of Miss Ethei Preston, who i*s at once a ballad singer, a dancer, and a contortionist, ilr Stan Cornish, Mr Harry Ell:ot- and Mr Bert Corrie, make up the rest ot this "art of the entertainment. Tom To Puni, with his realistic imitation of the Maori, was the most popular performer of the evening. The second part was much briefer than usual, hoidin-j only the Delinos, acrobats and wiro walkers; the Brooklvns, clover acrobats, too; Corrie and Baker, patter art\sts, and a biograph item, "A Gay Time in Atlanta City '
