AT THE PRINCESS.

ana tne two shows last night at the Princess theater enjoyed, for while the elements made the day and night miserable outside, inside The big the- ater all was cozy and the audience was too busy laughing and applaud ing the many meritorious features on this weeks great vaudeville bill to pay any attoltion to the weather.
 When the history of the Princess theater is written. and the respect i've acts are reviewed and given their rating in the histrcAic ''hall of fame" t is very doubtful, where genuine 1 ability and artistic interpretation of music both classical and modern, is concerned, If any feature will rank higher than the offering presented by tine Six Rirksnith Sisters. wiiio headline an exceptionally good show. Much has been said about these charming lassies, but the half has never been told They are, to begin with, very pretty, and eadh and ev- cry one has acquired musical edu. cation that eminently fits them to play the respective instruments they hfndle so well.
 These charming artlstes open their act with flood light of pale green l covering the stage. Miss Agnes l kirksmith is discovered at bae piano and soon the strains of the always popular "Miserere' from "II Trova- tore' are heard and he other five 1 girls enter They render this num- Der With ex client interpretation and four of them later sng "slumber Boat, after which Miss Maud Kirk smith plays Haesche's "Irngarian
 Dance" with all the wild enthusiasm the selection requires. Their clos ing number is novelty that cap tured the audience and brought forth recall after recall. Miss Agnes, who had been presiding at the piano, with so much skill and artistic interpre. tation, left that instrument, picked up tine baton, came down off the stage and nto the orchestra pit and proceeded to demonstrate what a clever little lady can do as director of an orchestra. The other girls l'u-
 ed up on the stage, the big Princess orchestra got ready aad al a signal from their little leader they tore the
 liaing' out of Dixie Land.' There have been many directors here with
 bigger attractions, such as "The hoeoate Soldier and "The Girl or the Golden West" but there has been none of them who showed such 6 thorough command of the situation as this talented little artiste. and she knew every note, every pulse beat aud carried her sisters and the Prin- cess orchestra through several nun bers n manner that made her a great favorite. Miss Gertrude sings My Hero" from 1.-The Chocolate Soldier" with more melody power and range than it has ever been | rendered in this city before. She has a wonderful voice and the act, individually and collectively is by far the greatest offering of it's kind the Princess has ever played.
 There is another feature on the bill that caused round after round of ap- plause and hearty commendaticn and that Is the wonderful tambourlne juggling of V. P. woodward. How | Mir. Woodward manages to keep so many instruments this kiad in tho air at tho same time is a mystery but he does if, and with ease ana grace too, which rightly earns for him his title of "Tambourine King of America"
 Krame and Ross offer most pleasing dancing specially and the Yalto Duo, who came to the Princess as "Whirlwnd Dancers fully lived up to their reputatien. They start their act in whirlwind manner and when they finish they are going faster than when they started. The little
 lady who is part of this feature does some woderful dancing and exhibits some very stunning gowns.
 Wilsca and Doyle offer novelty in their blackface specially Their songs are new, their comedy up to date and they were forced to respond 10 numerous encores. Taken all in all the bill has 1ot been excellcd by any previous offering. and the big Christmas audience. afternoon and night. voted it one or the best shows lf the season
