Fuller's Myriorama Company.

The attendance at Fuller's Myriorama Company's entertainment was not very large owing to the incessant downfall of rain and the slushy state of the roads. The ringing, especially that of Messrs J. Fuller and Howard Chambers, was brilliant and the manipulation of Mr John Flora, exceptionally good. Mr Howard Chambers possesses a powerful resonant bass which he used with considerable c-fleet in " The Goodwin Sands " and for an encore he gave " A hundred fathoms deep."' Later his rendering of the " Village Blacksmith " was encored and he sang " The AdmiralBroom.'* Though Mr -J. Fuller's tenor 13 not of the robust order his voice is crystally, clear, silvery and carries distinctly. His interpretation of Carey's pretty song " Sally in our Alley " was received with prolonged applause, but the simple pathoisof the air was .spoilt by introducing variations. Mr Fuller sang "Geraldine !! in response to a redemand and his effort was very successful. His song the " Death of Nelson " was rapturously received, ami ho was twice recalled. Miss Lydia Walters recited '• The Signal Box and the •• Dandy Fifth," two powerful pieces requiring finished handling, to which she did full justice. Miss Hetty Varden sang " Mary and John," and afterwards " Killarney " which beautiful melody seemed to suit her voice better, and for an encore she sang '• Paradise Alley." Mr Den Fuller, who supplied the humorous element in the show, sang " Laughing, us Vagaries " his own creation, in which he cari-

catured the laughing peculiarities of

a masher, a simpering miss, a nigger, an old man, Ac., and for an encore he gave " /■.'«<<>*'< "«<•- His comic duet with Miss Varden " Forfeits,'" was also w< 11 received. " Shine hhine Moon "and "i'eold Banjo"
