PRINCESS THEATRE.

Phil Smith and his revue company continue to attract crowded houses at the Princess Theatre. The show is bright and clean, and is full of humorous situations and tuneful and catchy musical numbers. Phil Smith is a host in himself, and as Titus G Pilgrim, the elderly swain in the throes of an “Autumn Love,” he keeps the audience in a perpetual chuckle. Nat Hanley is an able assistant in providing merriment and his dancing and eccentric piano playing evoke loud applause. Peggy Peate. Charles Megan, Mildred o‘Bnen, William Greene and Phyllis Nicholson also contribute to the success of the entertainment. No revue is complete without its ballet, and tho ballet in this case does all that is required of it in commendable fashion. Two neat turns are included in tho vaudeville section of tho programme. The first is that of Campbell and Wise, two comedians who got their full share of laughs, and Theda and Earle Hunting, whose turn is also well received. Wee Willie Lancet shows no signs of losing his popularity and Bert Elliott continues to do bewildering things with such unwieldy articles as top hats and cigar boxes.
