MUSIC AND DRAMA.


Tonight the "Charity Ball. one of the
most charming of modern plays, In which
Days New York company made such a hit.
Will be produced at Portland Theatre. The
company Is said to be strong one, carefully
selected for the piece, and Mr.. DAILY is very
careful into whose hands he entrusts plays
that have given reputation to his playhouse.
An exchange says:
THE Charity Ball. presented in the
providence Opera House last evening, proved
an oasis IN the dramatic desert. Its merit
was quickly recognized by the large and in
tensely interested audience, and the indiyid-
ual members of the sterling company en-
ployed In the cast we're accorded welcome
OF uGmistakeable genuineness. Frequenters
OF the Opera House, owing to numerous dis
appointments, were unprepared even with
the good report of the play from the metrop-
oils, for such heightened, straightforward
story of contemporaneous human interest
After witnessing the performance one would
indeed be made of base material II he or size
did not have loftier belief In manhood and
womanhood. The costumes shown were ele-
CANT and the play throughout was handsome
ly staged"
