MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Tableaux d Art.

Stockbridge Popular course last evening,
was an exhibition given by the pupils of
Prof. S. R. Kelly's Boston School of Flo
cution and Dramatic Art. The stage
was prettily draped, and the young lad
les were attired in Grecian costumes of
pure white. These were their names:
Maud Barnes, Nellie Cook.
Rose Bacharach, Charlotte Dillingham;,
Edna Best, Alice Ilrafueau,
Edith Boyd, Blanche Harrington,
Leotta Cain, Grace wall,
Morlena Dearborn.
The tableaux were executed with great
promptness and skill, the positions were
graceful and the applause constant.
There were emotional and illustrative
posings and tableaux representing scrip
tural, historical and artistic subjects.
Among the best was the ARTISTS Stu
did, and "The Cross" Miss Trip
played several violin numbers with con-
siderable taste and skill. Miss Alice
Girardeau was very pleasing in Money
Musk and her encore selection, and Miss
Harrington very amusing in the ''Steam
Chair and her encore. Miss Harring-
ton was presented bouquet.
Whalen and Martell.
Tonight the Kohinoor Vaudeville Co.
will appear at Portland Theatre in what
is promised as one of the finest attrac-
tions of the season. The programme
opens with very enjoyable jugglery
performance Then follow some capital
songs, dances and jigs, succeeded by real
ly clever gymnastic and acrobatic feats,
after which the audience is entertained
to some flashes of comedy, followed by
an excellent high-wire act, some sweet
selections on the bells and some genuine
ly funny knockabout business, which put
the audience in roars of laughter, the
whole concluding with the Martell fami-
lys thoroughly, clever performance as
bicycIists and unicyclists. A large audi
ence will, without doubt, be at Portland
Theatre to witness this company.
Geo. Wilson's MinstreIs.
George Wilson is a favorite in Port
land and he carries good company with
him. Last evening the audience was de-
lighted, and there were a number of
repetitions of numbers called for. In
the first part the solos and concerted
numbers were well sung, and the troupe
were partly in white face and part in
black. Memories of the PAST by
Nankiville, introduced NEARER My G. cd
to Thee 'Come Thou Fount of Every
Blessing The quartette and quintette
were both fine. The acrobotic work by
the team of six was first rate; Wilson'S
monologue was very funny, especially
his parody on ''Comrades;;'' while Napier
and Marzello on the horizontal bars,
VIM. Rowe in the pedestal clog, and Tom
Ward, the Fultons, Donnelly, John Rowe,
Dick Clark, Burnell and Rankin were
first rate, while VIM. Henry Rice, Dan
Quinlan and other members of the COM
pany wound up the show with funny
operate burlesque.

Hours with Dickens.
This is the appropriate title of a
UNIQUE entertainment first offered at the

already great public interest, promises
to mark memorable epoch in the histo-
~ of the Boston Museum. Dickens

the first division of the Hours intro

Master Wallie Eddinger and little Viola
Mcneil, both pleasantly remembered
the former for his work in Little Lord
Fauntleroy,'' and 'The Soudan," and
the latter in Margaret Fleming, while

Boston favorite, Mr.. George W. Wilson,
an opportunity of giving us new Char

''The Guv'nor,p oyer and, Guv'nor,

in this production is the costuming of
each member of the cast in strict accor-
dance with the period QS4O) and the
Cruikshank plates.
