FULLERS' BIG NEW SHOW.
LONDON REVUE COMPANY.
OPENING TO-MORROW NIGHT. -Great' interest iB being • manifested in Christchurch in' tho London Revue Company season, - com at the, New Opera House to*morrow night, when Sir Benjamin arid John Fuller -will present their big new Lopdpn Revue Company direct from a record season in. Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Thife" brilliant company is headed by Frank O'Brian, Janice Hart, and Borfc Lee. ' Mr O'Bjjan is reputedly . "tho limit" iii eccentricity, both as a singing comedian and as a comedy dancer. His dancing specialities coyer a. wide range, but it is as a master of fitepdaricing turns that he challenges comparison with tho world's best. His many original comedy make-ups, incidental to the numerous' scenes in the company's bright re.vues, are certain to be hailed as refreshingly new ideas. . Miss Janice Hart is a singing comedienne with .personality, this attribute accounting largely for her many English Buccesses in pantomime "principal boy" roles. Too, the lady is a very clever dancer, and she specialises also in picturesque , vocal-terp-oichorean scenes in elaborate settings. Mr. Bert Lee's droll comedy talent haß invariably. won most commendatory recognition. He ably seconds Mr O'Brian's lead in the funniest episodes of tho rovuos presented. In tho opening show, commencing to-mor-row night, the. producer gives a full range of latitude to tlie principals to introduce an almost unlimited quantity of. topical "gags" and allusions. As a result there iB a sort of unbuttoned spontaneity about tho whole show, which keeps the audience bubbling •with .laughter from the time the curtain rises till it falls on the final ensemble. One of: the outstanding features of the show is tho manner in which each item is presented in a lavishness of colour. The box plans are now open at Tho Bristol Piano Company.
