PRINCESS THEATRE.

A packed house greeted Monday night's change of programme, at the Princess Theatre Olemo showed no special skill, but in this connection it has to bo remembered that the performer was obviously still suffering from the effects of the accident to his hand His playing on the xylophone was, however, above the average, and evoked warm applause. Taylor and M'Quoin were most entertaining in their songs and dupts. The male partner sCorcd a decided hit In his singing of "Tho Good Ship Sydney," a

ditty b;ispd on the story of tho sinking of the Emden by H.M.A.S, Sydney. Clivalli and his highly-trained dogs" was a particularly good item: Clivalli gave a short exhibition of juggling, which helped to vary his turn. Clark and Wallace, comedians and dancers, have not hitherto been seen or heard to better advantage than they were on Monday. Madame Lorenz, tho graceful little aerial trapezist continues to increase in popularity. Lcs Bates and his Follies of Pleasure were again responsible for tho second half of the programme. On this occasion ho presented a new burlesque entitled "Peaches on tho Beaches." which kept tho audience in roars of laughter from start to finish. The choruses were bright, and the costumes and setting exceedingly attractive. The orchestra, under tho directorship of Mr F. 11. Stokes, was in no small measure responsible for tho success of the programme.
