PRINCESS THEATRE

FOUR NEW ACTS. There will be a big incursion of acts at the Princess Theatre to-night, four r,cw turns of first-class rank making their do but. Particular interest attaches to Billy Potter and Effie Hartwell, who will present an act entitled “Muddled Mixtures.” Potter is an Australian, but he has been so long on the American and English circuits as to rank as an imported act. He “middles merrily” through a mixture of everything, —including acrobatics, singing, romoiiy, ond contortion. His partner. Miss Elbe Hartwell, known as the “eccentric little genius.” enjoys the distinction of being the ord;' •woman in the world who “jazzes cn her head.” Just before she left New York for- Australia she thrilled a big crowd by performing this feat on the parapet of a 12-storey building. The act presented by this pair is of first calibre iniercst. Another noted performer coming is Cha c . E. Lawrence, a highly popular and entertaining London light comedian, who does distinctive work in songs at the piano. In addition Miss Lola Stanbou r 'ic, the accomplished and attractive American violinist, will make a welcome reappearance, and Slavin and Thompson, talking comedians, ■will offer a novel turn. The stop-over performers, nil popular, ond all listed for new matter, are Les Ban Malagas, Louis Bloy, Shipp and Kenny, Berosford and Rennie, and Craydon xnd Mack.
