PRINCESS THEATRE.
Fullers Vaudeville Company, strengthened by the reappearance of some old favourites and the first appearance of some new artists, presented an attractive programme to a- good house on Saturday evening. In addition to the new attractions in the personnel of the combination, the proprietary also presented * splendid set of biographic films depicting in a. realistic manner the recent boxing championship contest between Bill Squires (Australia) and Tommy Burns (America), witnessed by 20,000 spectators, in which the Australian was defeated in the shortest time on record. Professor and Miss Klaer mede a welcome reappearance with their highly-trained monkeys, dogs, and cat, the intelligence displayed by the animals being marvellous. The comedy element of the company has been considerably strengthened by the addition of Amy Sterling and Tilly Dunbar, who, in addition to giving some good Dutch yodelling specialities, took part in a. farcical comedy entitled " Matrimonial Discords." Tom Armstrong and Priseilla Verne's comedy combination appeared in new character eketches, and the Rextons, juggling comedians, were at their best. Rupert Christie (the boy vocalist). Bert Sharp, and Val. Kewton represented the vocal part of the entertainment, and were each recalled for their efforts ; and the Rose sisters and other members of the company, who are establisred favourites, v."ere all successful in their " turns." The sainu piogramme will be repeated this evening.
