REGENT THEATRE.
Schistl's -Wonderettcs, tho amazing performance of little folk invented by an ingenious Swiss are the principal attraction on the current programme at the Regent Theatre. In_ a regal setting tho Wouderettes, who number 330, prance on to the stago In fantastic fashion. A Yorkshire farmer lv a loud check suit is suddenly transformed into a crinolined lady of tho Victorian period, who makes frantic efforts to keep a dog which appears suddenly from nowhere, at bay, and huge dragons vomiting tiro, and evil spirits, frighten the wits out of Santa Clans. A sedan chair comes sedately ou to the stage, but before one's very eyes the bearers develop Into huge giants, and desert their fair charge, but tho lady Is entirely self-reliant, aud after roundly upbraiding her recreant hearers, in the twinkling of an eye converts the sedan chair into a modern motor-car and sails off tho stage under her own power. The principal picture on the programme is " 'Varsity," featuring Charles Rogers, Chester Conklin, and Mary Brian. A gazette, cartoon, and comedy arc also screened, and excellent music Is supplied by tho orchestra, under Mr. Ivan Fosello.
