The Spider and Fly.

Leavitt's Spider and fly is not new 10
Portland, but Mr.. LeaYitt has never COLLECTED
cleverer lot of people, nor put the burlesque vi
the stage in better shape. There are plenty VI
pretty girls in the ballet the dances are wen eA
ecuted, Miles. Newman and Sorocco are
premier danseuses of ability, the marches by
the Amazons were redemanded, the scenery
was good and the costumes rich and attractive.
The Putnam girls sang and danced petter tnan
ever before. Zarmo was the best of the many
good jugglerS Portland has seen, ana ms Keats
as an eauilibrist have never been excelled-
Miss Rise was an attractive queen of the mer-
maids. In fact every character is deserving of
praise. Spider and Fly is capital show.

New Mexico.
Next Monday evening the drama New Mex
leo" will be seen at Portland theatre. "New
Mexico Is the latest work of Mr.. E. E. Price,
and was given its first Boston production with
success. The judgment of the audience was
unmistakable, and the success of the play is
certain if other audiences are as kind in their
treatment of it, which there is every reason to
believe they will be, Miss Theresa Newcomb
is the star of the company, and by her really
excellent assumption of the dual role of the
twin brothers, George and Mark Stanley, made
an instantaneous success Her support was in
every way adequate. The scenery is of the best
and the stage was very handsomely set.
