MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Fay Foster Bur1esque Co.

Fay Foster Burlesque Co.
The Fay Foster Burlesque Company
came to Portland comparatively I'M
known and they scored a decided hit last
night. Their speciality acts are admira-
BILE. There is not poor one in the list.
The Patterson Brothers on the horizon
tai bar are immense; their giant under
hand swing is all that is claimed for it.
The Newcomb trio are excellent clog
dancers, and Miss Newcomb is an ex-
ceedingly graceful and attractive dan
seuse. Frank Clayton is one of the most
versatile Of musicians. The Vidocqs,
John and Edna, especially John, are
funny, and his scene with the dummy
kept the house in a roar of laughter.
Nellie and Rosa King are graceful and
pretty dancers, and both do capital act
with the Indian clubs. The Hamlins do
some very clever tumbling and acrobatic
business in their comic circus act. Two
burlesques, ''s'Our Pleasure Party" and
'sDear Minnie introduce a number of
bright and gaily cossumed girls, besides
the specialists mentioned, in songs, dan
ces, and Amazonian marches, which they
give in capital style. There was big
house last night, and the applause was
constant. There will be one more per-
Torrance tonight. Miss Ruby Hart was
unable to appear last night owing to
sickness.
Davy Crockett.
Frank Mayo, who has made fame and
fortune in that idyl of the backwoods,
''Davy Crockett will be at Portland
Theatre tomorrow and Thursday even
ings. Mayo's Crockett is most artistic
and powerful creation, and is such ia
vorite that like Tennyson's brook, it will
probably run on forever. Every one
praises Mayo. His impersonation is
manly to the backbone. The scene when
the wolves strive to break into the cabin
and Davy holds them out by using his
arm as a bar to the door, is one of the
most thrilling known to the stage. Mr..
Mayo will have strong support and vii
bring special scenery with him.
Columbus and the Worlds Fair.
The interest manifested in Mr. Rex
dale's treatment of columbus and the
World Fair to say nothing about the
beautiful stereopticon pictures and the
Edison phonograph concert, insures
very appreciative audience at Portland
Theatre, Friday evening. There was
large sale of tickets at the theatre yes
terday.
Paderewski.
The Boston Transcript SAYS: $50 great
is the desire to hear Paderewski play
that whenever he is announced it is al
most impossible to find room for the
number of music loving people who
threng to hear him. This is the case
with his farewell Boston recitals, the
first of which is on Tuesday at $50 at
Music Hall. Almost every good seat
was taken UP week ago. Hundreds of
times the compositions P aderewski plays
have been heard by other great pianists,
but no one has given the wonderful
reading that Paderewski gives them.
Some musicians contend that it his az
tistic use of the pedals that produces the
singing quality of tone. But no one real
ly knows how he does it. It is an art all
his own and there. is but one Pader-
ewski."
