MUSIC AND DRAMA.
D'AIbert.

D'Albert's way of entering the hall is clarac-
teristic of the Little Giant' He comes on
the stage with quick, energetic and soldier
like tread, and with directness of purpose
that is unmistakable, gives one abrupt bow,
then seats himself instantly at the piano, pre-
ludes in most exquisite way, looks at the late
corners while they are being seated and then
the instrument resounds to the grandeur, i'm
mense and dazzling brilliancy that characterize
his playing. 1t will be an unmistakable treat to
hear the programme he has prepared for this
evening at City hall. Get tickets now at
Stockbridge's.
The doors will be kept closed during the per-
formance of each number this evening There
will be 200 reserved seats at so cents.
May Day Carnival.
The May Day Carnival of the Bosworth Relief
Corps has become an established institution.
Its successes in the past are guarantees that
this years carnival will be equally as success
full and it is tho intention of the committee hav-
ing it in charge for it to be more SO. The ad-
vertisement which appears in another column
speaks for itself. Amusement lovers should
read it.
A Lost Paradise.
OF the excellent companies which have ap-
peared at the Portland theatre this season,
Charles Frohman's Boston Stock Company.
which appears soon stands pre-eminent 1t is
very strong group of players. 1t is MIR. Froh-
mans idea to have this company confne itself
exclusively to the New England States OF
course, most of the time will be spent in Bos-
ton in producing new plays. Their engagement
here will mark the presentation in this city of
Fl. G. DeNille's spirited love play of New En-
gland, "The Lost Paradise" This company
has been presenting this play for one hundred
nights at the Columbia theatre, and both play
and company made a most emphatic success.
ST. Lakes Guild Concert.
The concert given in aid of ST. Luke's Guild
| at kotzschmar hall last evening, drew an excel
| lent audience. A large pot of hydrangeas in
full bloom decorated the front of the platform,
fianked by tropical plants, while baskets and
vases of flowers adorned the stage which was
set for drawing room.
| The performers were all warmly received and
| encores were frequent Miss Louise Brown was
particularly happy in the minuet and efentaaz
| of Griegs, and she and Miss Davis played
| Moszkowski's Germany and Hungary with
much taste. Mrs. Henry st. John Smiths fine
voice gave great pleasure in a 5arcaroue of
Schubert's, and Sullivan's Lost Chord" while
Miss Philbrook was delightful, as she always is,
| in her Interpretation Of the Chopin variations.
Mrs. Allen accompanied Mrs. Smith with great
| taste.
| One of the Finest.
The comedy which entertained a fair sized
audience at Portland theatre last evening is one
Of thrilling situations and plenty of fun. AS
| given, a number of specialties are introduced
which make it rather long, and considerable
| time is consumed by tedious waits between the
tableaux. The play itself has plot which CEN
tiers round Dutch policeman, which part is
admirably portrayed by Ed Aaron, both in ap-
pearance and expression. His singing was well
received. According to the programme there
are twenty members of the company, but sew
eral of them must have missed connection as
they did not show up last evening.
