Uliie Akerstrom.
Tonight Miss Akerstrom will appear
at Portland theatre in 'sMiss Rora.'. The
chief figure of the piece is, OF course,
Miss Akerstrom herself. 1t is scarcely
necessary to say that she is ubiquitous.
Betimes she is sassy" then she is pa
thetic, and presently she gets rid OF the
prophecies and dances. And Miss Aker-
strom's dances are one of her greatest
charms. The company which supports
Miss Akerstrom is said to be fully ade-
quate to all the demands made upon
them A principal feature which ought
not to be forgotten is Miss Akerstrom's
thoroughbred horse Gyp. The animal
makes several appearances on the stage,
and in them all appears to be quite at
the command of its mistress. The fox
hunt scene, too, with its horses and its
hounds, is highly realistic.
Powell
The New York World says:
A change of programme went into eff
feet yesterday. Powell, the magician,
introduced a number of new tricks,
which thoroughly mystified his audience.
Hilton varied his usual performance in
some respects and was greeted with
peals Of laughter from the audience at
both the afternoon and evening perfor-
mances.
Powell, with Mile. Vera and Hilton,
will be seen at Portland theatre the 9th,
10th and 18th.
The Heinrich Concert
The Quincy, Illinois, Wing says:
Friday evening some of the students
of the Conservatory and number of
invited guests listened to Mr.. Heinrich's
singing at the Conservatory rooms, and
it is safe to say that all were thoroughly
charmed with his singing. He possesses
tenor voice of rare sweetness, much
power and lgood range, being able to
sing B fat easily and often, and capable
of singing G sharp well.
Mr.. Heinrich will appear at Kotzsch-
mar hall, Wednesday evening, assisted
by Mr.. Howard Ticknor, reader, and
Miss Cobb, accompanist.
