Fanny Marsh,s Theatre.

Tom Taylors comedy, "The Unequal Match,
Is. in sprightliness of dialogue and surprise of
situation, one of the most pleasing plays to be
seen upon the boards. 1t does not attempt to
portray strong emotion. but is very successful
in picturing the piques, the little preudices, the
conventionalisms of society. Its dialogue is
very bright, its repartee brilliant, its movement
rapid aud entertaining Altogether it is play
calculated to hit the popular taste, and emil
nently successful in the attempt.
The comedy received at Fanny Marsh's The
atre last evening representation which was
very successful for first night Miss Rogers,
as "Hester Grazebrook' was an unequvocal
triumph, and her support was fully equal to
expectation. 1t is not to be gainsaid that her
method of acting, which we have agreed to call
the natural though it is quite as artificial as
the traditional manner, is peculiarly accept
able to most theatre-goers Its breadth
and distnctness of outline make gooe,
good, in the popular acceptation, all deficiency
in Interpretation or distinctness of shading
Miss Rogers "Maud Muller is indisputably
one of the most popular and thoroughly accep-
table impersonations which has been given be-
fore tie Portland public this season. Her
Hester Grazebrook" in a play far better than
"Maud Muller will prove quite as unmistaka-
bic success. Of the support may be mention
ed with special commentator Mr.. Gossin's
"Harry Arncliffe," Mr.. Armstrong; "Sir
Sowerby," very satisfactory study of an old
man, Mr.. Listens Doctor, on the whole the
best thing he has done, Mr.. Sutton's Chilling
ham," Miss Bailey's 'sMrs. Montressor," and
Miss Williams "Bessie." Miss Williams does
we'll whatever she undertakes. The play will
be given until further notice. and will doubtless
draw large houses.

The School Question Again.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Can you allow any of your
space to further consideration of the school
question? Several communications have ap-
peared claiming that our children are over
worked and that iil-health is the result. For
accountable. With others 1 think that per-
haps the superintendent is made responsible for
much which belongs elsewhere.
For the ill.health of our children more DO.
tent cause than over work is to be found in the
crowded and ill-ventlated condition of our
school-rooms. For this surely the city council
and not the superintendent is to be held re-
sponsible. This is specially true of the schools
in the western portion of the city. This section
of the city has been increasing in population
more rapidly perhaps than any other, and for
the increase of pupils no adequate provision has
been made. The school-rooms on Bracket
street are over-crowded-e room. The
building was never designed for school pur-
poses. The rooms of the grammar school are
full and OVERLOOKING. The condition of the
primary rooms in this building is even worse.
The lower ones ara low studded, and the only
means of ventilation is the dropping of the win
dows. The rooms are poorly heated by the old
fashioned stoves for burning wood. The chill
dren nearest the stove are too warm-those far
thest off are mot sufficiently warm in cold
weather, and the result OF the open windows is
cold and sickness. One of the rooms in this
building has accommodation for about sixty,
and the number now belonging to this school is
between ninety and one hundred Can any,
thing but ill-health result from thus making
our modern school-rooms miniature Black
Holes of Calcutta?
Something should be done to relieve this
pressure and give such accommodations as shall
at least not be Immediately productive of ILL
health and disease. This is a question of great
er moment than the discussion as to superin.

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.--The Berger
Family and Sol Smith Russell gave one of
their choice entertainments at City Hall last
evening to an excellent audience. This COM
pany has changed slightly since here last
Among the additions are Miss Alice Kellogg,
who plays on the trombone, and Miss Louise
Franklin, fine vocalist. Both of these ladies
add much to the attraction of the entertain
ment. The music by the silver band was very
fine, especially the final grand march. The
singing of Miss Franklin was marked feature
of the entertainment. Miss Anna Berger's
cornet solos were as usual very fine and called
forth warm applause. The saxaphone solo by
Miss Morgan was excellent. Beautiful melo-
dies were also produced on the bells and
musical glasses.
OF Sol Smith Russell it is not necessary to
speak at length. 1t is sufficient to say that he
was the same inimitable Russell. His charac-
ter representations stand unrivalled. He was
of course heartily applauded at each appear

operate the road after it is constructed. The
directors do not wish to do this however but
promise to bring the passengers from Wood

by the builders when completed. Two cars
with as many horses and drivers will be all
that will be required to run from Morrllps
