PRINCESS THEATRE.

Tho new bill of faro at the Princess Theatre attracted a full house on tho 3rd, and there was ample evidence of the performers having " made good," so that full attendances for the currency of the programme are practically assured. Tho star artist was Madame- Lorenz, who proved herself an aerial trapezist of no mean order. Tho artist came to New Zealand with an acknowledged reputation as an arenie artist, and to say that she fully maintained it is to state tho position in the most modest of terms. As a matter of fact, there is little she cannot do on the ropes, and at the conclusion of her turn on the 3rd madam© was most enthusiastically applauded. Clivalli and his dog "Sport," assisted by " a litle bit of fluff," was quite as successful as ho was on the opening night. His balancing of the two dogs on a chair resting on his chin was a feature which gained for Clivalli quite an ovation. Clark and Wallace, the popular comedians and dancers, introduced new items and gags, which provoked the audience to unrestrained laughter. Taylor and M'Quoin, who become moTe popular each week, were heard and seen to great advantage last night, and were deservedly applauded. Los Bates and his Follies of Pleasure were responsible for the whole of the second half, and presented a prettv musical farce, " A Night In Bohemia," The piece is decidedly

musical, and ;.-, probably the brightest and best of the several revues presented by the Follies. Tho choruses were catchy, ami the dancing of the company bus nor hitherto beoji performed so effectively a? it was. this week.
