The Amy Vaughan Company, for their second change of programme, staged that excruciatingly funny farcical comedy * Fun on the Bristol' at the City Hall on Satur day night. They were patronised by a fair house considering all the circumstances, and the comedy went so well on the whole that it is safe to predict an enjoyable evening for those who may go to see them to-night. Of course, in presenting ' Fun on the Bristol,' it is necessary to have a good Widow O'Brien, and the company are lucky in this respect. Mr Collhiß plays the part capitally, and although one or two of the other char acters are certainly only "so-so," he keeps the fun goiut; so well and has so much to do that their defects are overlooked. The widow is the best thing Mr Collins has shown us.ijgjMiss Vaughan did her work well as Dora M'Allister, and Karl Browne was a strong man as Tommy Cranbury. Mr Maedermott, as Captain Cranbury and Mr Graham as Richard Sparks were also well suited. In the concert scene the company shone, the various songs and dances being given with great " go." ' Fun on the Bristol' is to be repeated to-night, and as a special attraction the management announce the engagement of Messrs Kerr and Kings ley, the trick cyclists.
