MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Lilhatansu Quartette.

The concert given by the Lilhatansu
Quartette in the Young Peoples Chris
tian Endeavor course at the Church OF
the Messiah last evening was thoroughly
enjoyed. 1t is very seldom that any mu-
steal organization is received with such
marked favor as was this quartette of
ladies. Their voices blended perfectly,
giving that effect of peculiar, mellow
sweetness so desirable in vocal music. In
the duets the ladies were equally happy,
while Mrs. Durham readings gave great
satisfaction. The next entertainment
will be the last in the course.
Waits of New York.
The great railroad bridge scene in Kate
Emmett's play, 'The Waits of New
York showing the two trains crossing
the Harlem railroad bridge in opposite
directions, while Willie and Gertie, the
two waits, are shown hanging from the
trestle work of the bridge underneath, is
one of the most thrilling and realistic
scenes ever witnessed upon any stage. 1t
will be seen at Portland theatre next
Monday and Tuesday evenings and tick
cts are selling fast at the box office. Amy
Ames and George W. Thompson are in
the ''Waif'' company.
Paderewski.
Next Monday evening, in the regular
Stockbridge course, and Tuesday at a
matinee given as an extra, the great piano
genius, Paderewslxi, will be seen at City
Hall. One of the best critics says:
His readings of the works of the mas
tiers are instinct with the imagination,
the poetic feryor, the true fire of born
musician.
