Notes

English: John Fuller and Sons Ltd (later Fullers' Theatres), founded in 1914 by the Fuller brothers Benjamin John (Ben) and John Fuller Jnr. in partnership with their father, was one of the major australasian vaudeville circuits organization, operating in 36 theatres in Australia and New Zealand. In 1912, the Fullers purchased James Brennan's interests in his recently founded vaudeville circuit company (Brennan's Amphitheatres Ltd., former Brennan's Vaudeville Entertainers). They operated the former Brennan Vaudeville Circuit under the name Brennan-Fuller Vaudeville Circuit until 1915, by which time its former owner's name was dropped and the new name Ben. J. Fuller's Big Australasian Vaudeville Circuits introduced. In November of that year Ben Fuller placed a full page advertisement in the Theatre with the names of more than 250 artists then currently "enjoying pleasant engagements" on his vaudeville circuits.

The Gonsalez Italian Grand Opera Company had been touring Russia in 1913 and performed in Siberia when World War I broke out. The five Gonsalez brothers traveling with their families decided, rather to make their way back to Europe, to extend the tour to China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Java, Singapore and Calcutta before arriving for their first circuit in Australia and New Zealand for the 1916/1917 seasons. The company obtained backing from the Fullers for whom this was the first foray into operatic management, and performed sucessful in Melbourne (Princess Theatre), in Sydney (former Adelphi Theatre renamed Grand Opera House) and in Wellington. The tour ended in Wirths' Hippodrome in Sydney on August 4, 1917. The women then left Australia but most of the men stayed until after the war; six of the leading vocalists including Tino Capelli, Augusto Balboni, Vittorio Lois, Ercole Filippini and Guido Caccialli were still in Australia in 1919. Tino Capelli stayed on as headliner in Fuller's Vaudeville Circuit. Filippini joined the Rigo Grand Opera Company (1919) started by Frank Rigo before setting up an opera school (1923) in Adelaide and the South Australian Grand Opera Company (1924), in partnership with his wife, the australian-born soprano and opera conducter Anne McFarland (Nancy).
The five Gonsalez brothers opened a new tour in Sydney on 10 march 1928, billed as the Fuller-Gonzalez Grand Opera Company.^[1]
