FULLERS' OPERA HOUSE.
The Robert Roberts Bon-Bon Revue Company continued their triumphal season at the Opera House last night, and presented a programme well stocked with good things. Many scenes of remarkable- be.iuty wcro staged and souio fine ensemble effects were nroducsd. One such scene represented a harvest field, in which the eight chorus girls were grotmcd as sheaves of wheat. Hiss May Webster (soprano) and Mr Maurice Jafiey (teror's dressed as reapers, suspended their occupation while thev sang "T'ie Angelus." "After tbc Storm" was another scene of very fine elaboration. Sitting on a log on the OP. edge of the proscenium were three muffled up travellers, who sang together while the weather cleared, and 011 the stage the storm dancers and nre dancers tripled around in illustration of the battle of the elements. The Sre dancers carried torches which when waved flared up wilh an intor.se incandescence. Finally Sunshine (Miss Arline Paterson) appeared and introduced the calm with » very pretty dance. S.mic good comedy sketches were also' included in the profframme. on* r«prei«itins an <-Hrounter bet-wen ourglsr and lady in fhc bat!', which had a surprising denouement.
