PRINCESS THEATRE

Holiday folk crowded the Princess Theatre lasi night, and evidently fully appreciated the varied and amusing bill of fare presented for them. The contributors to the programme received hearty applause and persistent recalls. The Spike Murphy fun that sparkled in "Topsy-Turvey" was received with vociferous marks of approval, and the vaudeville stars that twinkled in the choruses and dances did not lack a full measure of appreciation. The same attractions will be repeated to-day. MISS B.TJTH BUDD. Miss Ruth Budd will appear at the Princess Theatre on Monday evening. Described by an Australian writer as "the aerial pocket Venus," she is by reputation the most brilliant and daring flying trapeze artist in the arenic world, as well as a singer, dancer, and beautiful woman. An Australian critic wrote:—"Miss Budd makes a modest first appearance in a full-skirted costume of white satin, sparkling with ornaments. After singing and dancing for a few seconds, tho scene shifts to an actress's dressing , room, wherein she admits her audience to the secrets of make-up, singing tho while as gaily as a lark on a spring morn. The dressing room disappears as if by magic, and Ruth, harid over hand, clad in fleshings, climbs up to the flying trapeze, where her. act. culminates with sensational stunts, executed with precision and skill."
