MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE SIXTH POPULAR.

The Lutheran Swedish Sextette, assisted
by Mr.. Edward P. Elliott, humorist, gave
the sixth popular entertainment In the
Stockbridge course last evening. Had 1t
not been for the bad walking, and the great
absence Of street lights, there would have
been much larger audience present This
organization was down for eight selections.
one OF them, Soderman's Peasant We'd
ding" being In four movements. The Sex
tette was great success, giving variety of
selections. the majority of which were Swe-
dish melodies and folk songs. There was
also an arrangement of "Annie Laurie" by
Dudley Buck. The voices blend very beau
tifully, their soto voce and sostenuto pro-
ducings an effect which was irresistible to
the audience. 1t was done clearly, with al.
most an organ effect on the sostenuto. One
OF the best things Of the evening was the
Peasant Wedding" of Soderman, introduc.
Ing the familiar wedding March," and the
Annie Laurie was very nicely rendered. OF
course they had to give several encores. Mr..
Elliott evidently pleased in his humorous Sc
lections and he shared in sthe encore fever.
Gilmore will appear in the seventh popular.
THE MARBLE HEART.
The marble Heart is one of the prettiest
dramas known to the modern stage. AS was
stated, in the plot published In the PRESS, it
is classical in character and enables the ac-
tors to take advantage of classical costumes
that are so satisfying to the eye. The repre-
sentation by Mr.. Lothrop's company at Port
land theatre were very gratifying to the au-
diences of Thursday and Friday nights. and
but two more performances remain, these of
today's, matinee and evening.
Mr.. Edwards assumes the role of Raphael,
the sculptor, with great skill. Miss Glass
ford. as Marco, is exceedingly attractive;
Mr.. Paige is strong as Mons. Veandone. and
Mr.. Farnum makes capital Voltage; Miss
Annie McVeigh is always pleasing, and as
Marie she is enabled to favor her hearers
with song. The specially troupe as usual,
make great impression
