A good house greeted the first appearance of the return visit of tho above over popular combination at the Princes Theatre last sight. The Myrioraraic part of the entertainment was entitled "T 1 "-- j Rose, Shamrock and Th^-Jo- 1 and con- | s ;*t«3of-tv number of exquisite views of j the prominent features and beauty spots ] of England, Ireland, and Scotland. Commencing from London the audience were conducted by Mr Walter Fuller on a tour through the principal cities, watering places and tourist resorts of the United Kingdom, the principal Cathedrals, Pataces, places of especial interest and the most important thoroughfares of the first cities being pointed out en route. The views were interspersed with appropriate songs, supplemented by Myriommie effects, which added considerably to the success of the performance. Mr Huhn possesses a magnificent basso voice which was heard to advantage in stirring descriptive songs and he had to respond to the enthusiastic demands of his audience. Mr Will Watkins with his comic songs and general funmments kept the time of the audience divided berween laughter and applause and had repeatedly to respond to an encore. Mr John Fuller is an old favorite and his ballads were much appreciated, he having to bow to the imperative recalls. Tbe singing and dancing of Mis 3 Hettie Warden also came in for a considerable share of .applause, her rendering of Tennyson's beautiful poem "Tha Brook" being perhaps her best. The mechanical effects of tne entertainment were splendidly manngud, especially those depicting "The Ship on Fire." The Company give a matinee this afternoon, more especially for children, Wheu Aladdin will be produced. Their entertainment to-night will be a tour through America with new songs, &c. To morrow night they produce a representation of the world famous Oberammergaa Passion Play, the contributions, by way of collection, being fixed at a shilling and sixpence.
