MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A GREAT WRONG R1eHTED.

Mr.. j. A Stevens highly sustained melo-
drama, under the above title, drew fair
audience to Portland Theatre last night. A
description of the play has already been
given in these columns, and it will be remem-
bered it is thoroughly sailed with exciting
incidents. Some very pretty effects are pro-
duced especially the tableau of convict 1910
channel on Desolation Rock. Mr.. Stevens
gave robust manly PRESERVATION of the hero
Kinneth Rawdon, and the other parts were
well taken. A marked feature of the occa-
ton was the appearance of Miss Fannie
Marsh as Lady Rawdon, after several years
absence from the city. Miss Marsh gave an
excellent rendering of the character, and in
appearance looks as if she hadn't been abb
sent day. The play will be repeated to-
night
