SWEET LAVENDER.

SWEET LAVENDER.
Friday and Saturday, ''Sweet Lavender
| will be presented at Portland Theatre. A
brilliant New Englsnd tour has already been
inaugurated by the 'tSweet Lavender" COM
| pany, under the direction of II. Nj. Field OF
the Boston Museum. The company is ex-
ceptionally good and fully adequate to do
justice to this great comedy success. Never
before in the history of the modern stage
| has play been running simultaneously for
| twelve weeks in London. New York and
| Boston. To accomplish this seemingly mar
vellous feat dramatic production must
have especially great scenic and spectacular
effects. or possess an interest that touches
deeply the wellsprings of the human heart.
or spectacular or scenic effects in 'Sweet
Lavender" there are none. The stage set
ting is of the simplest description. Through
the three acts of the comedy there is but
one scene, representing barristers room in
the Inner Temple, London. In Boston the
comedy is approaching its Tooth performance
At Daniel Frohman's beautiful Lyceum
Theatre, New York, it is running magnif-
Gently towards the 200th milestone, and in
London it is now in its second year at Ter
RVS Theatre. The cause for this lies wholly
in "Sweet Lavender's" wonderful smilitude
to nature.
SPELL ''cAT."
The entertainment by the young people of
Plymouth church, representing an old-fash-
toned district school, is full of comical stua-
tions that are natural enough almost to be
scenes from actual life. The various char
acters have been long in rehearsal, and win
be as nearly as possible perfect in represent
tatioR. The entertainment will be given in
the vestry of the chn,ch this evening.
