AMUSEMENTS.

FULLER’S VAUDEVILLE. ODIVA AND HER SEALS. A fair house for the first showing of Fuller’s Vaudeville and Odiva and her seals was presented last night at the King’s. The first half of the programme was devoted to vaudeville. The Hilo Trio exponents of the Saxophone and the Hawaiian guitar met with a splendid reception and were recalled time after time De Car and Rosie, a tumbler and his dog created much merriment. De Car is certainly a tumbler of merit. Miss Adele Taylor was in good voice and had to respond to encores, while 'Baker and Smithson were well received in classical and operatic gems. A clever ventriloquist and his dummy created a lot of amusement. The Star item; occupied the second half. What has already been said about the marvellous intelligence of the seals under the charge o Captain Adams was found to be correct. Captain Adams brought one of the animals round the ho“fee and anyone who cared to, could stroke it. They all seemed very docile and thW one that kept applauding, the acts of its fctloAvS brought down the house. Miss Odiva gave a beautiful exhibition of work. At one time while caressing and feeding the seals she stayed under water so long that the audience was breathless before she came up to breathe. The entertainment is one of the best submitted to Thames audiences and to-night and to-morrow patrons will have an opportunity of seeing complete changes of programme. QUEEN’S THEATRE. To-night at the Cosey Queen’s “The Unfortunate Sex” starring Frances Ednonde and George Larkin will be screened. The story briefly outlined concerns James Harrington who has his daughter abducted. She grows up amongst thieves, and through a series of most absorbing •adventures meets and falls in love with a struggling lawyer. A good supporting programme is offered including a 2-reel comedy entitled “Greedy Grafters.” Jock Gray, the Scotch comedian, will make his final appearance. “THE FLIRT.” Coming to the Queen’s Theatre to-morrow night is “The Flirt,” a picturisation of Booth Tarkington’s famous story of the same rig me. The leading part is taken by Eileen Percy. The story deals with life in the average American family where the beautiful daughter tries to rule the family and nearly wrecks it. More pictures like “The Flirt . and there would be no motion picture censors. It is clean, brilliant and dramatic. Eileen Percy plays the role brilliantly. The box plan is now open at Parker’s. The prices are Is 6d nd Is, plus tax.
