PULLERS* YAirDBYTT-iLE COMPANY. The usual change of programme by Fullers’ Vaudeville Company was responsible for a well-tilled auditorium at the Theatre Koyal last evening. Mr Arthur Elliott received well-merited plaudits for Ids comic items, ‘'England’s Heroes, - ' "The tfehoolmastcr.*’ and "AHco." Misa Maud Fanning gave ono of her quaint coon sketches, assisted by the little Mieses Elliott. Double recalls indicated appreciation by the audience. The Elliott sisters figured also in -x dainty juvenile trio. Miss Lucy Lavxnla is now a well established favourite, and she scored further successes with "By the Blue Sea" and "What’s tho Good of Fame?’ Mr Goo. A. Jones 'and Miss Bttio Williams pleased everybody with their new absurdity “Mixtures," which is well studded with breezy patter and vocal oomedy. In the first part of the programme Mr Jones was recalled for "No More Fancy Balls," and ho added "I’m Glad I'm Married." Miss Fttdo Williams gave "Don't Speak to One Another,*’ and "Oh! You do Poel Lonely." Unstinted applause greeted miss Daphne Lerilie’s serio-comic song "One of the Girls" and Her neat ballet dance. Mr Walter Warwick gave an acceptable interpretation of " Will-o'-ih e-Wisp.** Misses 001. Dcfwyn and Annie Tyo appeared in a charming double song and dance "turn," and also made a success of their individual efforts in the first part. Mr Jos. Mullancy was \oeiferouely encored for his sterling contributions "The Moonlight Promenade" and ‘Keep on Jogging.” His buck dance was a capable display, which was warmly applauded, "The English Derby. 1911. was shown by the British Bio graph, with the usual scenes at tho racecourse on this memorable sporting occasion. The starts the principal phases of the race, and the firish are clearly reproduced. The programme will be repeated this evening, when the Kelsos, jugglers, will make their first appearance. THE NEW THEATRE. Tho cosy Now Theatre provided a snug retreat for hundreds of patrons throughoat yesterday aud last evening. The biweekly change of pictures to-day will include 'Th© Chief’s Daughter." an Indian drama displaying tho vengeance meted out to a white prospector who dupes an Indian squaw. The exclusive Bison drama "Avery’s Dream" is a fine ponrtrayal of cowboy life in the far West. "Picturesque Hanover" is a travel theme affording views of tho capital of a province in Prussia, which is noted for its iron and machinery manufactures, palace, museum, etc. The Vitagraph Company's oomedy "The Now Stenographer’ ’ is an irresistibly laughable conception described as “worth a thousand of the other kind." Another comedy "Toniolini a Prisoner" is a continental absurdity of a thoroughly hilarious character. A Kalezu drama "A Colonial Bello" possesses an interest which will attract all. Tho near films will lie screened continuously from 11 a.m. till 11 o’clock tonight. MIS MAJESTY’S- . At His Majesty's last night toe programme had to be varied somewhat, so far as . tho miscellaneous pictures were concerned, owing to the non-arrival of the films of -the drama "The Lyons Mail." Tho management, however, was in a position to put before natrons an excellent programme, which mot with great appreciation. "The Trooping of the Colours" graphically depicted an interesting event, ■whilst "New Year’s Festivities in Japan!’ gave the audience a.n idea of those celebrations in tho East. On the dramatic side wore "The Outlaw,” "Big-Hearted Jim." and "Her Faithful Heart," "The Now Stenographer" and “Winsor McKay" created any amount of laughter, and in addition there were "Plorrio Gaea to a Boarding School," "Peninsula of Sorrento’ , and "Foolshoad, Insurance Agent," all going to make up an enjoyable evening's entertainment. Tho earn© programme will be given, this evening. OPERA HOUSE. "THE ARCADIANS. “The Arcadians” continues on its successful coui*9o at the Opera House. Last night there was another house, and judging from the booking, this satisfactory business is likely to rule every night of the season. "The Arcadians," rich in dressing and scenic effects, and abounding in bright melodies, is an attractive play, excellently staged, and well worth seeing.

To-morrow evening the fanev dre«* carnival will take place at 8 o’clock The entries for the various competitions are more numerous than was anticipated, and some very extraordinary costumes will bo in evidence. Clever skits on past and current events will form a feature of the carnival, and will bo displayed to the liest advantage in tho grand march. -The full particulars and program.me appear elsewhere.
