MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
CUPID.

Last evening large and fashionable audi
ence gathered in Portland Thestre to witness
the first representation, this season, of Walter
Goods opera 6oufs Cupid, as produced by the
Warwicks, assisted by outside talent. All the
features of the opera which proved go taking
before were readily recognized and heartily ap-
plauded last night while the new ones were
vigorously encored. Owing to the inability of
Mr., Tom Millett to appear % "Eulalie," Mr..
Bert Winslow assumed the character very sat-
isfactofily, but this uecessitated the omission
of the new duo with Geneveve, whats the
matter with young Cupid The remainder Of
the new music was given with excellent effect
by Conrad Mr.. Goold), raphael mt
Howsrd) and the chorus. In the new song,
caricature OF popular opera singer, aud
showed that he was dancer as we'll as com
poser and vocalist Mr.. Parker was very eff
fective as "Genevieve" and, if anything, i'm
proved on his first appearance in the character.
Mr. Howard received an encore for his render
ing OF "Im on the way to see my beauty"
Or. Fernald was an admirable "Z4miel"
Messrs. Donahue and Carey not only delighted
by their excellent dancing, but their 'bottle
dance proved irlesistlbly funny. They rep.
"Old Rye and the other sold Bourbon and
after many saltatory gyrations turned one side
OF the bottles towards the audience, displaying
the label, 'Sold BY ell druggists" OF course
the WarWicks not only acted but sang with
spirit and in good style, and Mr.. Grimmer and
the orchestra are entitled to great praise.
