FULLER'S ENTERTAINERS. Last Saturday night's audience filled every part of the Theatre Royal, and frequent langhter and applause snowed how much it appreciated the new bill of fare. The Cannes repeated their wondefful balancing feats with as much success as evw. 'Their exhibition 'Is a marvellous one. Mr. A. L. Cropp, the Christchurch basso, contributed two songs with fine effect. Mr. Ward Lear was as amusing as ever, and all his comic songs were encored. A double song and dance by the Rowell sisters was a feature of the entertainment. Little Jackson, whose appearance is always looked forward to, came in for a great deal of applause for her pretty singing and .dancing. "The Musical Gardners" secured another triumph.
