FULLER'S ENTERTAINERS.

A full houso greeted the psrfonhonce by Mr Fuller's Entertainers at the Alhambr.i Tbeatro on Saturday evening. Jlr Fuller lia3 lately gono to the expense of adding more lights in the building, and the result was very noticeable 011 Saturday night, the whole pface being more than usually bright and cheerful. A number of new songs, both comic and sentimental, were included in the first part-, and all went well, the singers being invariably called upon to reappear. Miss Blackic, Miss Lamout, and Mr Stevens were in particular successful in securing the good-opinion of the audience, the lastnamed not being permitted to escape before he had fulfilled his programme engagements fourfold. Mr William Luby made his first appearance, and his exhibition created not a little surprise. lie claims to be able tn pxpand his chest lO.'jin beyond its normal development, and with his chest distended in this manner he sings c. verse of tho well-known song " Just as the sun went down." He further claims to he tho only 0110 capable of accomplishing this feat, and that lie has the second largest chest expansion in the world. The exhibition was an extraordinary one, nnd Mr I,ubv was called upon to sing a second verse of his song. Dr Rowo did some fresh 3leight-of-hand tricks, in which he was both neat and clever; and Miss Lnmcnt and Mr Stevens gave an amu'fmg burlesque, ill* Carney, tho Yorkshire comedian, sang some of his best songs, in which he .proved as humorous as ever; the Driscoll brothel's made a change in their Irish specialties; and the concluding fara>, "Tho Cnmin» Man," created unbounded amusement. The s*.ne programme will be presented again this evening.
