FULLERS’ LATEST OFFERING .The interest which has been manifested in the reopening of the Princess Theatre should result in a crowded audience to-night to witness Fullers’ latest offering. Tho faro to bo submitted for the delectation of_ patrons will comprise a mixture of bright and snappy vaudeville titbits and a New York musical comedy revue, entitled ‘ Mixed Methods.’ No less than twenty-six members are travelling with the company, so that the entertainment should bo extremely varied in its character. Many outstanding performers are included in the cast, and once again sparkling humour and well-chosen frivolity should bo put across the footlights. Clean, wholesome comedy will be the predominating theme the happy show, but none of the other elements which go to make first-class entertainment will be overlooked. The company is rich in all types of entertainers, and its season in Dunedin should he marked by unprecedented enthusiasm. Hector St. Clair, who needs no introduction to local folk, heads the cast, and on his capable shoulders falls tho burden of providing most of tho fun. Others who share in the radiating of joy are Jack Kelleway, Nat Phillips, Les. Wharton,, AI Mack, Cecil Scott. Frank Wilson, Bessie Blake, Kitty Stewart, Stella Lamond, Daisy Merritt, Sylvia_ Gardner, Eve Fennelly, and the Radio Six, a bevy of charming giris who are clever acrobats as' well as dainty dancers. As this big cast suggests, the company has plenty of talent to draw from. aud_ should be able to present an entertainment to please the most caustic of critics. ‘ Mixed Methods.’ tho revue production which will occupy the latter half of the programme, is a little musical play, enacted amid gorgeous settings. The vaudeville section will be devoted to a pot-pourri of pleasing fare. English and American sketches will be offered, while some delightful French novelties will he a feature.
