THE CITY HALL.

FULLER’S ENTERTAINERS. The programme at the City Hall continues to keep fresh and blooming, and to give pleasure to a growing class of

patrons. The first part presents a prettily painted scene called “ Our Rural Retreat,” and the music is in keeping with the happy setting. The Driscoll Boys. Hugo Lear and “ Bob ” Bell fill the end chairs, and Ted Herberte makes a fine gruff “ Mr Johnsing ” in the middle. The songs and dances of Miss Minton, the Dashing Elmores and the Boys above mentioned is much above the average. Miss Annie Kinnaird has a sweet mezzosoprano, and can use it with effect in ballads of the better class, and Mr Fuller creates the same old enthusiasm. “ Bob ” Bell is an aggressive comedian, who wants a little toning down in order that the humour, which is undoubtedly in him, should enjoy a wider scope. The second part is bright*, and interesting, and generally wholesome. Mr Fuller's sixpenny pit scheme has evidently caught on, but the show is worth more than any man's sixpence.
