MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE T T SAVAGE.

1919 AA1LAh ~ ANE
Tonight Maggie Mitchell will appear at
Portland Theatre in Fuller's comedy of "The
Little Savage" The Little Savage is the
daughter of French colonists, residing in the
West Indies, with all the piquancy and vivac-
ity OF the French girl, combined with the i'm
passioned and impetuous redundancy of the
tropics. Besides Cora the Little Savage.
the principal character is the "Commandant
Enguerand de Deadleaves'' of the navy, an
arbitrary, violent old sea-dog, who wants his
nephew, "Leon," in love with the Little Saw
age, to marry his ward "Clairette." "Clair-
cite" loves in turn, and marries "Derville" in
seeret. The play turns upon the tactics pur-
sued by the Little Savage to worry the old
uncle into subsection and give consent to the
marriage. The play is well written, and in it
Miss Mitchell has an opportunity to sing,
dance, boil over with fun, and also display
those emotional qualities which have given her
SO high a place on the dramatic stage.
R M'AULEY.
Barney McAuley has appeared twice in this
city in the character of "Uncle Daniel" and
always to delighted audiences. The imper-
sonation is one of the most agreeable on the
boards today, and always holds the attention
of the audience from first to last. He will
assume the character at Portland Theatre Fri
day evening, and tickets are now ready at the
box Office.

An instance of GOODNESS and presence of
mind which has won warm praise from the
friends of Miss Ellen Terry was given by her
on Wednesday evening last, during the per
formanoe Of 1.-THE Merchant of Venice" at
the Star Theatre, New York In the second
act, where the land of Portia is sought, one
of the suffers stepped on a parlor match which
happened to be lying on the stage. It ignited
and at first unnoticed lent its fire to a rug that
was near. For a few moments it smouldered
and was about ready to send up a little fork of
flame when Miss Terry noticed it. Gracefully
aud with what happened to be a movement in
harmony with her part, she walked over to the
rug and quietly stamped ont the fire. The act
wac noticed by only a few of the audience.
