THEATRE ROYAL.

Fullers Entcrlaiuers. The. programme this week at Fullj ers' is certainly a monster one and calculated to satisfy the lust for amusement of, the most hungry pleasurej. seeker-.. Indeed, so big and "boshter" is the Mill that one thinks it is never going to end, and an injunction j ought to he taken out against the. .management for giving • too much for themoney. To start with, MasterClaude Over is happy and , quite at home with his Xylophones, Mielaphones, Dulcimers and is nightly obliged to give ljis performance over again, after which charming Nellie' Power, • thp, sweetest of sweet souß} ; rettes, : captivates „ Johnny-dom ' with her bright sbngs T Next on the list is that really clever pair of 'jugglers, Jarvis and ".Martyn.- They juggle with everything and everybody. Thgir funnyisms are good and- wholesome, a-nd it is not -too- much-. to say 'that • this . pair ban hold their own with .the' -best, that London or other .'alls produce. Mr A.. L. Cropp. takes up the running, his songs being clearly sung, every note being true'V while liis enunciation is ref reshifrg \ after Yankeedoodling 'ballade-singers ' with their stage trickery ''and gallery-playing. Hamriion and Wyatt fill the breach after this, and this bulky pair never' grow stale,, though this week is their last m Wellington. Davy's Royal Marionettes is a show m itself. . The' figures are manipulated m a marvellous manner. ,It is solid, worjc from. v fetarfc to finish,; nevet drice, is there j a -dull ' or flagging nji;qment. Another performances never failing to catch on< with the public is that given by the trained animals under 'the tutorship of Madame and Professor Klaer. The sagacity of the dogs, cats and monkeys bears ample testimony of the assiduous training, care and ■ attention bestowed - on them;, and the dog and cat act- is a bit of animal co-. medy .'that, always brings down the house. Miss Ida Berridge is next on the list , arid this cliaiming^ young commediemic has got : such a Hold . of Royal patrons that without her the, whole world would seem a .Mank. A pair of new-comers are • Pastor and .Merje, ecceentiic comedyj acrobats, m their refined drawing-room entertainment. The refinement might be there, and if a drawing-room is just the, place' to snatch at a girl's garter, 'goodf luck to refinement. Miss Marion Hall -is a character serio Orom London, whose contribution flo the programme 'is ' 'Rosie is AVarting' ' and "Nancy.!' She has caught on > wonderfully .with Royal audiences, and can. be easily set down as one of the favorites. Funny man Harry Linden can always^ be relied upon for a fresh! budget of comic songs and witticisms, andvseems to be like the much-quoted brook, going on forever. The Biograph Pictures are a special feature 'also of this 'big .bill , which ■■.will be added to to-night and will undergo • a change or two • New n oyelties. and fresh faces are promised, and if the Royal lis not filled to overflowing every night of the coming week, then "Truth" is a very bail judge.
