 With special orchestra of several pieces and many new features, Little Miss Mix Up'' opened weeks engage ment at the Princess Monday afternoon to the delight of a large and enthusiastic audience.
 "The Calvin family is we'll remembered \ era1- times before, and it is useless te comment upon their ability to put on a musical act and do it right. The act is offered by James A. Calvin, and in the cast may be found Irene and Johnny Calvin, two favorites of long standing on the vaudeville stage, especially in Nash vilie
 d"The act is artistically staged in every detail, and presents some beautiful vis- ions as well as many humorous incidents The songs are bright, petty and put over the lights in an attractive manner. Here $ where Irene Calvin gets her chance. and she is in class all by herself when it comes to making an audience listen to what she's got to say, whether its singing or talking, or dancing.
 Johnny Calvin is there with the goods at all times, and has most of the work to do. His lines are full of bright, hu- morous sayings and he never overlooks a chance to get them over in snappy way.
 James A. Calvin an old head at the game. is of course good in the part he takes.
 There is to be found in the cat one voice of unusual beauty, and it's possessol is none other than Lew Hampton, who takes the part of negro butler. Many times has My Mothers Rosary beer sung from the Princess stage, but MT Hampton comes nearer singing the song as one would imagine the composer meant IL to De sung, than anyone hearC here in many moons His other work is way above the average comedian.
 "The chorus is composed of good looking girls. garbed in beautiful gowns, and otherwise pleasing to look upon from every standpoint There are two Nash vile girls working in the chorus, anG receive applause from the audience Mon day night. whenever they were recog- nized. They are Dixie Merriman ano Aileen Hood. This is their first theat- rical appearance and their work and stage presence was almost flawless.''
