THEATRE ROYAL.

Fullers Entertainers.

How Australian pug Bill Squires came to grief at the hands of Yankee Tommy Burns at Colma, CaK, and how Apologue, after -a ding-dong battle up the Flemington straight, won the Melbourne Cup, are .told- on' the Biograph at the Royal, and., these two pictures is a show m itself. The Fullers give plenty to their patrons, and this week a programme of star turns has' been nightly presented to crowded houses. Noted re-appearan-ces this week arc Morris and Wilson^ acrobatic comedians. A clever turn t lii- s.' which mark the pair as topnotchers m their line.- Harry Linden,, the comic v chortler, is back again, arid his vagaries are as irrepressible as ever. Miss Ida Bevexidge, "the daiv ling of the Gods," is also back Hfor. a short season, and the popularity of this young lady never seems -to abate. Zemphv, the clever; lightning painter, scapes, all sorts of things m record time, and. was- duly applouded. Mr A. L.. Cropp. New Zealand's own bassp, has nightly sung "Three for Jaolc" and "Peg away," and Royal patrons -know a good singer when they hear one, and this young artist, who is capable of great things m the vocal world, has had nightly, evidence of his popularity. !; Other turns on the programme worthy of note i.s the tenor singing of Mr A. H. Collins, the trick cycling and juggling of the Valdenes. and the nonsensical, and therefore funny, gags and nuips and songs of Gilbert and Delavale. The Musical Cromes made x their first appearance last evening, and a successful season is; assured for them. The programme will be altered and : . materially, strengthened this evening, so that the Royal ' for •the next week ought to monopolise the attention of theatre-goers.
