MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
MY SWEETHEART.

MY SWEETHEART.
Tonight the Palmer-Graham company will
appear at Portland Theatre in my Sweet
heart" Its morale is to prove that there is no
happiness for any man who will ignore pure
and trusting love for the destinations of cold
and heartless woman. The music, comprising
solos, duets and choruses, is said tobo espe-
cially pleasing. An exchange says: The lead
ing part, Tina, was taken by the charming lit
tie actress, Miss Minnie Palmer, who is one of
the most vivacious and sprightly comediennes
on the stage. She acquitted herself hand
somely, as she always does, and her original
songs and dances, relating directly to the play
itself, were very pleasing. She is graceful
and refined, and Tina is character just s-lted
to the sparkling quality OF her talentt The
counterpart, Tony, played by Mr. r. 3. Gra-
ham, is also good character. and Mr. Graham
gives fine representation OF an intelligent
and gentlemanly German, besides being
clever imitator of Joe Emmett in acting and
singing The remainder of the cast was up to
the standard, and the company is strong and
well balanced.
THE CAMP FIRE.
This entertaining and interesting drama will
be produced at City Hall tonight. An ex-
change says: 'sMr. John Byrne and Messrs
Holden, Pitts, Hankins and Church. the
burnt cork artists, kept the audience delighted
with their performances calling down long
continued applause. Mr.. Byrne, in his musi-
cal specialtes, was simply immense, and it
will repay everyone for outlay of time and
money 10 see him Both the Dutch and Irish
comedians-Me Ellsworth and wilson
sustained their roles in very creditable man
ner. Mr.. Geo. w. Lakins recitations and
bass solos are especially fine, his rendering of
"Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep, COM
handing hearty encore. Master Patsey
Connors' Pat Rooney limitations are good.
But What will, perhaps, interest our City
Guard more than any other feature n is the
certainly as skilful a presentation Of the
''manual of arms as is often witnessed. His
drum solo is another specially"
