MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.


THE MASCoTTE.
There was an audience of good proportions
present at City Hall last night, but not large
enough to enable the music to be heard at as
good advantage as in Portland Theatre City
Hall, for young voices, is very trying, and we
were astonished that they we're heard at SO
good advantage under such circumstances
The orchestra was very good, Misses Farrell
and Libby acted and sang with the same chsc
as before, and were the recipients OF floral
tributes from their friends. Miss Farrell in
.roduced a very pleasing new song, entitled
nArmy so Grand" and the song and dance,
"Eyes of Jet" and Misses Libby and Rogers
gave duet entitled, "Love shall Guide Thee,
very prsttily. Mr.. Smith, as "Pippo," was
very cordially received and loudly applauded.
Mr.. Bibber had to take the part of Lorenzo,
owing to the sickness of Mr.. Green, and kept
his audience laughing very heartily Inc
young man who assumed the role OF the Fny.
stefan made him an Oscar Wilde. The rest OF
the company all stroye to please. Mr. Gould
conducted with his usual skill.
THE CREATION.
Tonight the Haydn Association will present
the Creation at City Hall, assisted by the
celebrated Germania Orchestra OF Boston,
twenty-five pieces The soloists will be Miss
Nettie Milliken, Messrs. W. Fl. Stockbridge
and ]. B. Coyle, and Kotzschmar will conduct.
The Creation has always been popular favor
lite with music lovers, and 1t is rarely an OPP
portunity is afforded them to hear it presented
under such fortuitous circumstances. The
Haydns render the music better probably
than any other oratorio society in the country.
The accompanies are famed for their work.
10, toa 10 oxrrr-
thy rendering of the music that falls to their
share. and the tickets-to be procured at
Stockbridges-a placed at a dirt-cheap fig
ure.
It is to be hoped that the pscunlary results
of the oratorio will be OF an encouraging ma
new hall, in which to be able to give oratorios
for the benefit of the public, and if well pat
ronized tonight they will feel their efforts
have not been in vain.
