MUSIC AND DRAMA.

ORGAN RECITAL.
The third organ recital by Mr.. Walter
Goold, drew very large and well satisfied
audience Saturday afternoon to the Church
Of the Messiah. The various numbers were
well chosen, and the audience, while not as
demonstrative as on the previous Saturday,
was evidently as we'll pleased, although
somewhat governed in their expression by
their surroundings. There are many people
who never feel 1t the proper thing to applaud
In church. But before the recital was oy-
er they re-demanded "Annie Laurie" and
the march from "Lohengrin." which closed
the concert. While all the numbers re.
ceived excellent treatment perhaps We should
award first places for pure enjoyment to the
Lullaby" and "The Odd Trick" the latter
Of which was given by request. Judding by
the popularity Of these recitals there will be
test Of the capacity Of the church next Sat-
urday.

BRASS MONKEY.
The Boston Globe says of the Brass Mon
key. which will be produced at Portland
Theatre tomorrow morning:
"a Brass Monkey" has been exhibited to
large audiences all the week at the Boston
Theatre, despite the bad weather. Hoyt's
satire was never more enjoyable and never
better received. Alice Evans as Baggage is
as winsome and engaging as possible. Goo.

It's rhythms were first echoed from the

Sf A FINE CONCERT.
[Bath Times.l
While Columbian Hall was not filled as it
should have been Friday evening, the COM
pany there represented a large share of the
city's musical culture. and was one before
whom there could be some satisfaction in
playing.
As the orchestra itself has appeared here
before. 1t is sufficient to say of it that, the
performers showed an artistic finish In their
rendition Of the programmes numbers which
would have been very creditable to music
ians Of much greater pretensions. Miss Rice
won her listeners with her first selection,
being enthusiastically encored. while her
second number, the "Good Night" song.
brought her two recalls-and then the audi
ence seemed hardly satisfied. Her voice is
Q grand one, both in range and quality, and
Its careful training has made it what every
music s lover must admire. Mr.. Bates Torrey
on the clarionet being to some Of his listen
ers almost q revelation of the possibilities of
that difficult instrument. Miss Jessie Owen
was accompanist and was highly compliment
ted after the concert on her skillful capabili-
~ she showed In carrying out her part Of
the programme. In Mr.. Chandler the or.
cheStra had q director whose musical taste
was well displayed in the selection of SUBJ
jects his Interpretation of them being such
as to give them additional charm.
