MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The stockbridge Courses.


offer at auction the choice of seats for
his two courses of entertainments for the
season of 1928.
The list of attractions is worthy of
cities three and four times the size of
Portland and there is no reason to be-
lieve that this year there will be any slip
up. The grippe doesn't strike every
year and it looks as if the cholera scare
was over until next May or June any
way.
Among the musical features may be
found the great Seidle Orchestra billed
for last year, but it failed to put in an
appearance on account of lack of backing
and Boston was deprived of hearing it as
well as Portland. This year their band
has strong financial backing. Victor
Herbert, one of the soloists, is a cellist
who ranks with Hiking. The Dam
rosch Orchestra gave us a taste of their
quality last year, after short season Of
rehearsal. This year the effects of a
years drill will be plainly perceptible in
band that, in it's body of strings, is
probably unsurpassed this side of the
ocean. Then Sousa, the world famous
ex-leader of the u. S. Marine Band will
| bring to Portland his new Chicago or
ganization, which it can well be believed
Chicago will spare no expense to make
rival any band in the world. The great
baritone, Galassi, will appear with the
band.
1t is unnecessary to more than mem
ton the name of Paderewski. His last
| years triumph is fresh in every mind.
/ Nine. Amy Sherwin, Maine girl by
birth and fresh from her Amsterdam
successes, will be heard, assisted by a
capital concert company. The New Bos-
tonians, SO called, will be heard with GU
riosity. Edward Remengi, the celebrat-
ed violinist, will appear on one evening.
Alex Salvini, the great romantic actor.
whose success the past season has been
phenomenal, will present one of his best
dramas. Nine. Tavary, the great dra-
matte soprano, Helen Dudley Campbell,
| formerly of the Ideals; Litchtenberg, the
favorite violinist; and Del Puente, the
great baritone, will together draw a
great house. Raglan, with his illustrated
lectures, will take Stoddard's place for
this season. The. Charity Warblers of
Boston will prove novel feature. The
boy ''Pattf' and Strokosch Opera Con-
cert Company is said to be very good.
Smith and Page in their entertainment
had Boston at their feet. The "Trip to
the Noon is spoken of in the highest
terms by all the leading papers of Chica-
go, New York and Boston. The other
] features are all old friends. There will
! be half fares and late trains on all rail-
| roads.
Luciers Minstrels.
A Woonsocket paper thus speaks of
Lucier's Minstrels who will appear at
evening:
Lucier's Minstrels gave an excellent
entertainment in the Opera House Tues
day evening before an audience that
manifested full appreciation. The COM
pany is well worthy of public patronage.
No troupe has visited here in several
years in which there are so many good
singers and meritorious dancers. Comic
and sentimental specialties alternated in
the brilliant first part. The songs were
well received. Billy Fries, the cham
| pion tamborine spinner of the world,
gave a meritorious exhibition of his spec
| ialty, in which twelve tamborines were
| kept in motion by him at the same time.
Eddie Labarron, M. Fobes, J. R. Lucier,
G. N. Lucier, Harry Barton, Scott and
| Harry Budworth were all good.
Song and Harp Recital.
| Next Wednesday evening Miss Harriet
Shaw, harpist, and Miss Caroline G.
Clarke, soprano, will give song and
| harp recital at Kotzschmar Hail. Tick
are now for sale at Stockbridge's.
Misses Shaw and Clarke are well known
to our people. Miss Clarke received a
most enthusiastic reception in Berlin
and was offered an engagement to star
through Germany by Wolfe, one of the
best musical critics in Germany. Port
land people are certainly to be congratu-
lated on having this rare opportunity Of
hearing such talent as Miss Shaw and
Miss Clarke.
Notes.
The chivalrous gentlemen who whirled
down the boulevard on one of the big
old fashioned bicycles without either
| light or bell Saturday night, knocked
| down lady and gentleman and then
sneaked away without inquiring how
much they were hurt, will be pleased to
learn, perhaps, says the New York Her
aid that he almost succeeded in ruin
ing the bow arm of one of the worlds
great violinists, Nine. Camilla Urso A
little more and that charming mistress
of the most devine of instruments would
never have played again.
Lolita the actress. is at present i'll in

The actress, who has not appeared before
the public during the past two or three
seasons, had arranged to make her reap
pearance in Toronto Monday night in Sc

She notified them at the last minute,
however that she wonld be unable to
leave and telegraphed to Boston for her
brother. About four years ago she fell
