Kelly and 3>rakc, an American duo, who made their first appearance, in a few minuter "won their war into popular favour, and their offering ivas thoroughly enjoyed. The male member of the duo gave evidence of being an excellent comedian and a firstr class eccentric dancer. The turn of the other American pair—Denny and Dunnigan—was one of tho cleverest and most enjoyable items on the programme. It is easily one of tho smartest sketch©* of the kind seon on the Fuller circuit for ,-oir.c time past. Colos, the local banjo expert, met with a flattaring reception on his reappearance for a short season. r lhe Trio Classiciue again provided >'t musical fea.st.
