Pbofessob Moulton's Company, whioh appears at the Theatre this evening, is thus noticed by the • Westport tfews' of October 14th : — " There was a large attendance at the Princess Theatre last evening, whan Professor Moulton's smart little/Company gave their first entertainment here. Captain Fred Thomas, of whose powers something has been heard here, more than fulfilled expectation. He is a vivacious and amusing raconteur, and possesses the rare art of keeping an audience amused without tiring them. He has a full budget of anecdotes and amusing stories from all parts of the world, and relates them' with unusual effect. While he was on the stage, he kept the audience in roars of laughter. His ventriloquial whistling is a .striking feature of the entertainment, and was much appreciated. Mr Harry Barton gave some amusing comic songs and his '* jodelling " was loudly applauded; He also introduced hisfigores, displaying ventriloquial powers of no mean order. Miss BartonT^-the acoompanyisfr—sang very nicely, and was encored, •'Bide a wee" being especially well sung. Captain Thomas also gave a bass aong with great efiect. The entertainment, whioh is an excellent one, concluded with some humorous competitions among boys, which were exceedingly amusing."
