A circle full of happy lads in khaki and .ueir friends and a good lower house of the ordinary public thoroughly enjoyed tho second, nights performance ot the delhdmul Xivoli Tollies. The show goes with a bang ' from start to finish, and is a rapid succession of sparkling acts. -\ti«=s Vera Pearce, the beautiful Australian "hi won the hearts of everyone with her vivTicitv and charm. Miss Thelma Rayo, too, has firmly established herself as a favorite, The company is particularly strong iu first-class male comedians, and roars of laughter "rcet the antics of Messrs Walter Wcams, George WeUh, BiUy Rego, and Jack Cannot. Mr Frank Greene and Miss Ei!a Gaspers aro of the type of singer to be listened to vita pleasure. The Belgian Orchestra and the many other artists help to make the T ; voli Follies an entertainment that, should not be mused. The programme will be repeated to-a.ghfc, when the circle has again been reserved by the Otago Patriotic Association for members of the 16th Reinforcements and their friends. FULLER VAUDEVILLE.

Arnold, les Warton and others.' ' The usual matinee performance will be given to-morrow. UNIVERSITY MUSICAL SOCIETY. The. University Musical Society, with a chorus of 80 voices, are to give, next. Friday and Saturday, a work that should appeal to every patriotic music-lover Tennyson's poem 'The Revenge/ sot to music by SiCharles Villiers Stanford. The story 6f Sir Richard G'renville's single-handed fiVht against a whole fleet of Spanish battleships with which all England was ringing three ccnl tunes ago, and which, as told in Tennv*on\s stirring ballad of the fleet, has thrilled all loyal British hearts of these later and not degenerate days, receives full justice at, the hands of the brilliant composer who occupies the chair of music in Cambridge University. The interest of the performance will bo much increased by the introductory lecturette which is to be given by Dr Bedford University professor of history, on that, glorious epoch of British naval history. The concert will open with the French, Russian, and British national anthems, each sung in' its own language. Tho box plan for both, performances opens at Begg's to-morrow.
