FULLER'S VAUDEVILLE.

A more varied and pleasant programme than that which was presented at His Majesty's Theatre last evening has not graced the boards for many a week. All the^ first half of the programme is new, with one exception, and that exception is an item of the sort that is ever worth its place. Mabel and Malfe open the programme with dialogue, novelty dancing, and lightning painting. Keith Desmond, the brilliant monologuist, featuring "The Whitest Man I Ever Knew," retains his place. _ Will Hastings, a musical comedian, is another newcomer, and a clever and humorous few minutes results, with some quaint musical renderings, including: the playing of a tin whistle through his nose. Trixie Ireland made her appearance, beautifully frocked, arid song. "Heart That is Free/ "Sonsrs My Mother Used to Sing," and "I Want My Mammy," in a pretty soprano voice that immediately drew a storm of applause. Gardner and Dunham are announced as "Sensational horizontal bar performers"—and they are. Their feats on the three bars are remarkably clever. One performance, for instance, consists of whirling round one bar holding with the hands, the performer then releasing to fly through the air and land on the next bar on his feet, following which, he somersaults to the floor. It is in the first ranks of its kind, and is relieved by clever humour between the feats. Following the interval, George "Wallace and company produce "The Oojah Bird," another funny revue, in which the .comedian is the bold hunter who, with others, visits the Sultan. Tlie. stage setting is Eastern and the ladies of the harem are beautifully dressed accordingly. Later the scene changes to a more western hut still beautifully frocked series of ballets. "Theba," "The Hunter," "The Gramophone Girl," and "A Harem in New Zealand" were included in the songs, with which were interspersed the clever dialogues and dances that have helped to make the company its name. Altogether it is a delightful programme.
