OPERA HOUSE.

With the superior programmes that Messrs. Brennan-Fuller have been presenting of late, vaudeville has gained many converts in Auckland- This week Valentine and Bell top the list with their sensational bicycle act, which was one of the features of the “Aladdin” pantomime. They received an ovation from a crowded house on Monday for their thrilling feats. Les Bau Malagas, the fascinating Spanish dancers who opened last week, added to their laurels with their exploitation of the Tango and national dances. The Rosa Valerio sextette are right amongst the top-notchers with their wonderful wire-walking act —one of the most appreciated items on the programme. The Georgia Trio dispense a laugh to the minute, and have a fresh stock of nonsense this )veek. Sharratt and Lang, who are

making their re-appearance, created plenty of merriment with their musical sketch, while the popularity of Kingsley and Graham and the Strattons in their singing and dancing specialties, is never on the wane. The dainty Fern and Lizette please the eye as well as the ear. Millie Doris keeps things going with a vim, and the Phillip Sisters round up a crisp and sparkling bill.
