MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
HAZEL KIRKE.

HAZEL KIRKE.
Tonight the Madison Square Theatre Com.
pany will present "Hazel Kirke" at Portland
Theatre. The New York Telegram says:
"There is vein of truth and good moral
motive running through the drama that makes
those who go to see it feel that they have not
wasted time in the playhouse. Men and wo-
men, aye, and young people too, are the better
when they go home the memory of the love,
sorrow, disobedience, fidelity and over-strained
principle SO skilfully woven in the texture of
the story, clings to them and gives them food
Tor reflection that cannot be other than fraught
with good results
Y. NJ. C. A. CONCERT.
No doubt the fame of the State street choir
is sufficient to fill the rooms of the Young
Mems Christian Association at the concert this
evening, when the splendid programme below
will be giveu. The proceeds of the concert
will be devoted to the aid of the Y. M. C. A.,
and they will go to further good work among
our young men. The choir have spent
much time in carefully preparing their pro-
gramme, and while it too often happens that
concerts by home talent are poorly patronized
it is to be hoped that the worthy object for
lence OF the singers will lead to generous re-
Spouse from our citizens. Mr. Kotzschmar will
preside at the piano.
