NEW FULLER BILL.

TO-NIGHT’S PROGRAMME AT THE PRINCESS. The reputation for variety in entertainment should be well maintained in the programme to be presented at the Princess Theatre to-night. The George Ward Snapshots Revue Company, which won such instant favour last week, will stage an entirely new production entitled “Cohen’s Vacation,’’ which, in addition to the big comedy opportunities it oilers George Ward and his associate comedians, Bert Lo Blanc and Les Warton, has a rich surprise by way of finale. T The revue opens in the Cohen household, where Mrs Cohen awaits the coming of her husband and his friend from a hunting trip to the mountains. As a matter of fact, the pair had been tripping, but not at the mountains; and Mrs Cohen, being an inquisitive sort, soon has them floundering in wild explanation, while the imbroglio is further heightened by the arrival of Flossie Footlights, an actress the pair had met, at Coney Island. The novelty in the finale is a series of scenes of Old London, representing St. Paul’s Courtyard, Vauxhall, Lincoln’s Inn, and Islington Fair, ail as they were 200 years ago. The characters all appear in the costumes of the period, and some of tlie old ballads are sung in each scene, the principals in this drama being Patsy Hill and Vernon Sellars, The company, it is said, has never done anything so charming. On the vaudeville side two new acta strongly reinforce the entertainment. The Cavnnna Duo strike a new' note with a clever and finished bit of travesty. The act opens with a scene depicting the exterior of a circus tent. Harry Cavanua, in the character of a side show' impressario, undertakes making an “opening” or free exhibition to show the high-class character of his entertainment. This introduces Nancy Cavanna, who presents a harp solo and singing number. She is said to be a remarkable performer on this most beautiful instrument. Following this Mr Cavanna introduces a most novel comedy wire-walk-ing act the final ensemble between the pair being very clever. Bella and Morris, the other newxomers, are bright and happy in song, talk, and dance. In addition, new' offerings are promised from Farrell and Massey, and Morris and Cowley.
