MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE HANLONS

THE HANLONS.
These irresistibly comic gymnasts with
their excellent company. drew another good
audience to Portland Theatre last night. The
falling of trunk-lid upon the neck of the per-
son inside the trunk occurs twice in the course
OF the play, and the effect is heightened when
another performer stands upon the lid after it
has.descended. At least the ladies among the
audience appreciate the peril to which the man
on the outside subjects the one on the inside.
The act with which the Hanlons all,make their
first appearance, viz, that of the upsetting
stage-coach, from which the four who were on
top turn somersaults and land in line near
the footlights, had been made familiar through
the printed description, but the trick by which
one of the servants opens half-dozen bottles
of champagne In basket by accidentally dis
charging gun, thus causing the stage to be
flooded with liquid, was hailed as veritable
novelty, the applause interrupting for time
the business of the play. Equally well receiv-
ed was the handling of flask of gin in the first
act and bottle of rum in the last, it being
IN both cases by VIM. and Frederic. Indeed,
throughout the perfor nance the ease with
which the twain did everything was no less
remarkable than the velocity that accomplish
ed it. The piece is full of surprises and me-
cnanlcal enects, Keeping the audience in g
roar of laughter. Tonight will be the last op-
portunity to take the children.
ROBSON AND CRANE.
There was a large advance sale of seats at
Portland Theatre yesterday. Both "Our Bach
elors'' and the Comedy of Errors" have besn
given by these wonderful comedians before in
Portland and therefore the demand for seats
is not surprising. The two Dromios are al
mirably simulated. Robsons Dromio is the
comedy role proper in his own natural style
and voice. Cranes Dromio is the mimic, and
so perfect an imitation that it is often difficult
for those whose who know the actors best to
distinguish the two Both together they give
highly amusing and successful performance.
NOTES.
In the Stockbridge course, Coughs lecture
will be given March 7th, and extra lecture
