OPERA HOUSE.
The weekly change of programme drew a large audience to the Opera House on Saturday, and Fuller's Entertainers gave a bright and pleasing programme. The "star" turn was that of Brasso, a strong man, who performed a number of} weight-lifting feats on, a tight-rope with remarkable dexterity. Salmon and Chester appeared in a new sketch entitled " The Blacksmith Boy ? " in which they had ample opportunities for a fund or crisp American humour. Mr Will James, a banjo player, gave probably the most pleasing performance of the evening, and his playing was heartily encored. Mr Too Callaway sang a set of new 6ongs, which also met with several encores, and he proved as popular as ever. Miss Gertie M'Leod sang and danced cleverly, and Rexo ancl Lasso gave a comedy juggling turn which was entirely successful. The Banvards, the Franklins, Mr Harry Edwards and Miss Malvena Moore earned insistent encores for their contributions, and the Vantells were again well received. A new series of bioscope pictures was shown clearly and almost without any flicker, a film entitled '" The Incendiary Foreman " being one of the best yet shown at the Opera House.
