FULLER'S WAXWORKS.

Last night was a really old-fashioned, West Coast night, for it rained and it rained and it never let off raining. It was a night for people when at home to stop home, unless business compelled their attendance elsewhere. It was not a night to attend shows, yet the fame of Fuller's Company drew them from their comfortable firesides, and shortly after the hour .announced for opening the Opera House was well-filled by an audience who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The entertainment altogether is a very good one, and as the waxworks are guaranteed to be "striking like» nesses," although «ome of the figures are not exactly models of beauty, |we must take the guarantee for what it is worth - The best part of the show is the biograph and that is really worth the price of admission. The action of the figures portrayed on the screen is most natural and life-like, and

deserved— all the applause that was so freely given.- The only regret was that there was not more of the pictures. The Vaudeville Company was very good, the singing of Miss Lena Young being far above the average of sinjFirs in travelling companies. She possesses a sweet and powerful contralto voice which she knows how to use, and is also extremely graceful in her action. She brought down the house and had to respond—in the second part being twice encored over the same song. Mr. Maher is a good dancer and not a bad comedian, while Miss Maher is a really pretty dancer and was deservedly encored. Mr. Norris was clever in his manipulation of the roller abates and showed what could be done by a clever professioual artist on the skates. Mr. Marsden has not a bad baritone voice and was very good in his legerdemain tricks. The comicalities of Mr Lyndon wore amusing. Taking it altogether it is a good all round show and sustains the character that Mr Fuller has deservedly earned. There will be an entire change of programme this evening.
