We report CCD time-resolved photometric observations of three objects selected from a study of cataclysmic variable candidates in the Palomar-Green survey of high-galactic-latitude ultraviolet excess objects. We identify PG 0911-066 as a likely dwarf nova, possibly of the WZ Sge sub-type and find a large-amplitude, short-period photometric periodicity, possibly orbital in nature, of 82.931+/-0.001 min. We find a superhump period of 0.0656+/-0.0001 d for a new SU UMa dwarf nova, PG 0943+521 and identify unusual behavior which may be indicative of a link between the SU UMa class of dwarf novae and short-period permanent superhump systems. Our study of PG 1633+115 reveals long-term variability as well as a photometric periodicity of ~ 3.5 hr; an aliasing problem prevents the identification of a unique period. Finally, we briefly examine the impact of the present study on the fraction of eclipsing systems in the magnitude limited sample.
