MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The popularity of all-vaudeville programmes at the Fuller House shows no signs of waning. The audience which assembled last night. to see a new bill was amply, rewarded, for the items were all high-class. A warm reception was given to Estelle Rose, who specialises in Yiddish humour, and tells unusual tales with a rare charm. She introduced "Lu-Lu," a dainty French chanson, and in "Rebecca from Mecca" was equally roguish, concluding with a harem dance. Her Italian sketch, "Story 01 a Rose," Was well done, and altogether she proved a delightful entertainer. The flying acrobats of the Paul Warton Company left the audience breathless. Four men and one woman make a quim tette that do much sensational work with a spring-board. The board is used as a kind of lever, one of the troupe standing on the ground-end of same. Another jumps from a height on to the board, and the other is propelled into the air like a catapult, landing on the shoulders of another, of the company. Double and treble somersaults were accomplished with an ease that made th.c house gasp, and the pyramid building was a rare treat in acrobatic work. Miss Amy Rochelle is still a firm favourite, and her songs last night further enhanced her-reputation as a comedienne, child-mimic, and impersonator. Sandrisi and Capelli. Continental dancers, put on a graceful dancing act, introducing a comic dance. Others to appear were Vidsau and Kirby, in a sketch, entitled "A Double Turn" : Victor Burke, operatic baritone; Ernest Pitcher, in comedy, patter, and instrumental work; Curley Sherwood and Charles Sherman, in light humour, song, and story; and the Alton Sisters; on the silver wire. All contribute to a fine bill. The musical accompaniments of Mr. Frank Crowther's orchestra leave nothing to be desired.
