AT THE PRINCESS.

| The present bill at the Princess is without doubt the premier vaudeville bill of a season past. This is saying good deal. for there has been some excellent bills, but it is justly due this booking to say that it's equal has not been seen for a season past. There are so many splendid and dis tinctiye features to the bill that it is difficult to say which Is the best num- Der of the bill
 Miss Emma Francis and her three whirlwind Arab boys, probably have -he greatest offering of the five This act by it's sheer novelty and daring 10 say nothing of it's beauty and lt- tractiyeness, compels your unstinted admiration from the start In the frs. place Miss Francis is one of the greatest dancers that the Prin- cess patrons ever saw. In the next place her striking costumes, created from the dream of the Cubist fad and her remarkably clever and novel dances, a conception of the futurists idea of human motion, is a big feature in itself But the three Arab aero bats, everything considered. are the gi gieatest trio ever seen in Hot Springs Young in years. they display acrobatic ability that would ordinarily cost the biggest part of a lifetime to perfect Their work is of the whirlwind charac- ar In lrfn pf m act Miss Francis, herself, adds 10 the vivacity of the act. with some i clever and rapid dancing steps that are marvellous and novel.
 Cora Simpson and company in the suffragette comedy sketch, We Want Our Rights" stage one of the clean, classy and catchy kind of sketches that makes you laugh and leaves you with a pleasan. memory of this splen- did act based upon the ridiculous l side of the suffragette movement. re- l plete with comical situations, splendid wit smart repartee and everything that goes 10 make a real comedy sketch It Is simply great.
 l Miss Madelina Sack. the talented violinist. is an artist, every bit of her
 She is what you could properly call a character violinist She not only plays artistic and popular selections in classic manner, but she fairly makes the violin talk the old time airs and the clever limitations she | performs. Her imitation of the bugle call, the bagppe and other instru- ments are real clever, while with her graceful body and her violin she fair ly makes you see Old Black Joe and other characters of famous songs.
 Cannon and Tracy those clever cheer up girls, no strangers to Prin- cess audiences, are just as clever and
 entertaining as ever in fact they
 bring an sentierely new repertoire
 brighter and better even than on their former visit. They are clever comed. iennes, good singers and comedy dan cers, and their act is all to the good from a comedy and entertalnm aEt standpoint

Gedmin, the Russian shadowist, has never been equalled in his line in the history of vaudeville in Hot Springs. Using fewer mechanical contrivances to create his shadow pictures than anyone before him, he constructs some of the most wonderful black and white views, nearly entirely with his nimble hands and fingers. He was one of the real gems of the, bill and his work brought him well deserved recognition from the audience.
 This is only brief outline of the hundreds of clever and classy things on this bill, all crowded into vaude- vile program time, the biggest and best yet.
