ENTERTAINMENTS

HIS MAJESTY'S. Fuller’s Vaudeville Company appeared before a thronged attendance at His Majesty’s Theatre last evening, when every item of a liberal programme was enthusiastically received. Among the most enjoyable contributions were the vocalisations by Signor and Signora Molinari, the musical sketch by Brightie and Oarlyon, the comedy skit by the Delnvalo Bros., and Miss Nellie Kolle’s chorus songs. The programme will be repeated this evening. EMPEESS THEATRE. "The Balcony of Death," a daring French production, and the first since the war, continues to delight large audiences nightly at the Empress. This is one of the most interesting and elaborate pictures seen at the Empress for some time. A highly selected list of items is shown in support. EVERYBODY’S THEATRE. "Milestones," the big attraction . at Everybody's Theatre, is a play showing how progress may be stayed by oldfashioned methods. The play is highly interesting, and shows the launch of the first iron ship, and the first telephone in use. The supports are good and include the twelfth episode of "The House of Hate." KING’S THEATRE. Old Bill, Alf. and Bert, are still causing a lot of laughter in. "The Better ’Ole" which is being screened twice daily at the King’s Theatre. The play is by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, well known for his humorous sketches drawn out of the tragedies of war. There was another huge audience last evening. At the opmmencement of the picture Mr Meates sings “Up From Somerset.” The orchestra is exceptionally good, getting soma novel musical effects during the screening of the picture. The supporting programme is very fine, and includes an episode of “The Scarlet Runner." There will be a matinee to-day, and ..seats should be reserved at the Bristol for to-night.
