AMUSEMENTS

PRINCESS THEATRE. Another packe'd house received with joy Miss D.iisy Jerome at the Princess last night. Tho magnetic little artist sang and chatted and walked about .tho stage in tho unconventional and fascinating way she has, and the "boys and girls" to whom she chatted and sang, we're reluctant to allow her .to leave. Tho other acts all went well, tho La Alert Brothers, the Mullaney Twins, Laurence Johnston, and blisses Murphy and Black being especially successful. —"Revtio" Next Week.— A judicious leavening of vaudeville with the popular form of entertainment known as the -'revue" (really a mixture of opera, larce, and musical comedy, reduced to miniature size) has proved so sure a bait to tho public latterly that" the' Fuller vaudeville proprietary are installing another revue % company in the Princess Theatre next Monday evening. This combination are known "as the Victor Prince "Revusical" Company, and their productions aVe said to rival in every respect those of the Stanliopo Company, who proved .such a draw in this town. Mr Victor Prince is himself well known to theatregoers. He and W. S. Percy introduced the diverting 'Kismet' burlesque into the J. C. Williamson production of 'The Girl in the Train,' and, indeed, for a period of 20 years ho Was one of tho " firm's" leadirg comedy merchants. Invited some little time ago to fly the-Fuller colors in revue, he picked a well-balanced company of singers, dancers, and comedians, securing amongst these such notable dispensed of mirth as Chas. Zoli (dago impersonator) and vLillian Colenso (sotibrette), and singers/ 1 of repute in Lester Carey and Ruby Esdaile. TJie.se. with Mr Prince, form the succulent kernel of the productions, and their efforts are seconded by others, including a bevy of comely chorus girls. The iirsfc production will bo a topical burlesque, -"The Midnight Club,' the box plans for which open at The Bristol Music Warehouse to-lnorrow morning. TO-NIGHT: CLEMENT t. WRAGGE. Amid the constant vibrations of this, the greatest of all wars, ifc is a positive relief to the mind even for a brief period to he enabled to contemplate loftier things. 'To this end all those who can should make a point of attending tho (scientific entertainment to be given by ('lenient. L. Wragge, meteorologist, and astronomer, who will to-night (give his latest lecture entitled '"The Eternal Universe and the War,' during-which he describes and particularly deals wjth tho lesson inculcated by the war in the light,of the evolution of tlie human race viewed as a. unit in the grand scheme of eternity. This lecture breaks entirely new ground, and is beautifully illustrated by lantern 'slides, by aid of a powerful lantern. To-night's lecture will be the commencement of a series of entertainments at the Burns Hall. Beats may be reserved at The Bristol.
