FULLER’S OPERA HOUSE.

With a company of exceptionally talented artists to draw on, the management of Fuller's Opera House is able to ofi'er to. patrons this week an enter tainment that is not only excellent as to its variety, but first rate as to quality. Ernest Pitcher, comedian, is the type of artist whose goods are good, for lie knows both how to select them and how to present them. Miss Sadie M’Donald is an accomplished violinist, and is also a contortionist of merit. . She is able to combine both on the stage with remarkable and novel effects. Miss Elsie Videau and Walter Kirby present a most pleasing turn. The lady is an artist of very great talent, and he: burlesque work was admirable all thiough. The Kentucky Four present a delightful budget of songs, in which they achieved some really good harmonising. This is tho last week of the George Storey Revue Com pan}- in Christchurch. For their last show tho company are reviving “Chase Me,” an appropriate choice, not merely because the quality of the piece is good, but because it gives to all the principals a good deal of work and so provides the audience with an opportunity of seeing plenty of them on their final appearance. There will bo a matinee pep'formanoe this afternoon. Next Monday the first appearance is announced cf the Moon and Morris Revue Company. This is an entirely new combination that has only just got together, with a result that Christchurch is to see the premiere performance. The producer is Mr Walter George, whose reputation is so well known as to need no further introduction. Those brilliant comedians, George Moon and Dan Morris, will be playing the principal parts, while their support is said to be really excellent. Included in the company are Lily Foster (so- j prano), Vera Sewell (contralto) Lily 1 Denville (soubrette) Jean Keith (solo danseuse), Sidney Burchall (baritone), William Beresford (tenor), Claude Holland (light comedian) and a ballet of six that have been specially chosen for this combination. Rehearsals are now in progress, and the opening production promises to be something out c.f the ordinary.
