MUSIC AND DRAMA.
REWARD.


Tonight the first performance of the military
drama of Reward with Charlie Collins as Fritz
Stein, and the members of Bosworth Post in the
cast, will take place at City Hall. While the re-
hearsalS have enabled all to get thoroughly ac-
quaiated with the several situations and business
of the play, since they almost all were in the
piece when brought out in Portland before, yet it
must not be imagined that those who attend will
see or hear nothing new. In fact the. play has
been rewritten, lots of new songs introduced and
the tableaux will be found especially attractive.
The piece will be staged in excellent shape.
Chambers orchestra of ten pieces will furnish
music. Tickets can be procured at Stockbridges
today
FoGG's FERRY.
Tomorrow, Fast night, Lizzie Evans will appear
at Portland Theatre in "Fogg's Ferry the play
which pleased so many when this little actress
presented it few weeks ago. In the afternoon she
will appear in '.The Culprit Fay" 1.-THE Culprit
Fay is something on the order of "Caprice," the
discord, messalliance. The story is very clev-
erly told, and an excellent opportunity given Miss
Evans for the display of her abilities, which are
manifold
THE HONEYMOON.
Tobin's fine old comedy of "The Honeymoon
was brought out at Portland Theatre last night by
Mr.. HILL affording the theatre goers an opportun-
ity of seeing Miss Mather in Juliana. Probably
no play is more familiar to our citizens than 'The
Honeymoon 1t has served to display the abil-
lul6S OF almost all Inc great actresses OF former,
as well as a LATER period, as well as many of
lesser note, besides several excellent amateurs.
AS Juliana, Miss Mathsr has a character evil
IDENTIFY much to her taste and one in which many
of her best qualities are seen to great advan-
tage. As lady OF rank she COMFORTS herself
with all the elegance, dignity and grace belonging
to her position, and these qualities are much en-
HANGED by her grace and beauty. In the scenes
where, attired in her peasants dress, she is sup
the people, she still charms the spectator, who
watches every movement with pleasure that is
indeScrlbable Her alrlness ana nghtness on the
ceive careful Interpretation and her audience last
night evnced their satisfaction by the usual calls
Mr.. Levick's Duke Aranza was as careful and
polished piece of acting as was to have been
expected from him, and Mr. Eytinges Mock Duke
was as good as has ever been seen on these
boards. Considerable amusement was created by
Mr.. Ranons as DR.: Lampedo, and pleasing fea-
ture was the introduction of little Baby Wood as

can be secured at the box office.
