PRINCESS THEATRE.

A particularly interesting and enjoyable holiday programme is being presented Dy Fullers’ Follies at the Princess Theatre this week. In true accord with the spirit of Christmas, the -nterta.nment ts bright, lively, and fresh from the first chorus to the final scene, and the musical numbers are both new and novel. i esterday afternoon a special matinee was given” by the company for the benefit of the Children’s Rest Home. The sale of tickets was completely satisfactory, and although the attendance was noi particularly large, because of the warm weather in the early part of the afternoon, the generous effort of Fullers management and the company was well ewarded by the enjoyment given to those present. Variety is the kovnote of the latest Follies' programme. There are sketches, dances, humorous interludes and more serious items of all kinds, while the dancing and the dressing of the chorus are unusually attractive, One of the special items” is the song cena —'‘non'* Vou Remember. Lvon ” —a pathetic and appealing number. while ’mon: the sketches "are " The Dress Rehearsal.'’ "Jn the Future.” ” A Love Game.” and ” The Co”-op. Stores ” —all items d s most entertaining kind. The work of the comedians must not be forgotten. It creates hearty laughter, and is clean and neat at all times. On Saturday there will bp an addition to the nro'grnrnme, when Flora M'DonaM and Dalton Payne, n pair of Scottish comedian- and musicians will make their a ppea ranee.
