FULLERS' ADVANCED VAUDEVILLE.

LAST NIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT. Though the weather, last evening, was wet there was a large attendance at the Town Hall when Fullers' Advanced Vaudeville Company opened a short season. The Company sent to tour the country districts by Messrs Puller and Sons is a strong one, and contains several "stars," whose "turns" are of a high order. A noticeable feature was the absence of serio-comics, comedians anl others who usually figure prominently in vaudeville entertainments. Each of the items last evening proved interesting, and gained the hearty plaudits of the audience. "Cleopatra" gave a clever exhibition of snakecharming and fairly astounded her audience by the cool manner in which she handled the reptiles. One of the cleverest performances of the evening was that given by "Bonita." This young lady is an adept in sharpshooting, and whether she is standing or sitting, shooting over her shoulder or taking aim when standing on her head, her markmanship is always true. She finished up a clever performance by producing the wellknown air "The Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Hall" on a number of bells. The sound was produced by rifle shots, of which no less than 56 were fired. "Victor the Great" gave a capital ventriloquial entertainment. His "voice effects with a number of "dummies" were very fine. Later on he gave a series of conjuring tricks, ar.d a clever illusion. Madame and Professor Klaer's dogs and monkeys went through some extraordinary feats and tricks which delighted the audience. Miss Louie Whitfield sang two illustrated songs, "How Can IBe Poor" and "Come Back to Dad," very nicely, and was encored. A number of excellent moving pictures were shown. These included very clear views of Dublin, River Shannon,-the Giant's Causeway and the Lakes of Killarney by moonlight. Another film was a EKurous one, entited "The Shortsighted Cyclist" whi-h promoted screams of laughter. The Company will appear again this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock and this evening. On both occasions a change of programme is promised. At the matinee children will be admitted to the stalls for 6d and the dress circle for Is.
