MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Lady BlarneY.

at Portland Theatre tonight, the New
York World says:
Annie Ward Tiffany, a well-known
Brooklyn favorite. appeared before
large and fashionable audience at the
titled Lady Barney" 1t is from the
pen of Alfred Kennedy and it was the
first production in this city. The play is
well written, and the author has chosen
plot, while not new in its entirety, is
novel and interesting. 1t was written
for Miss Tiffany and the author has sue
ceeded in giving the star play which at
fords her numerous opportunities to dis
play her versatility as a character ac-
tress. 1t is the best thing Miss Tiffany
has done in late years as was evidenced
by the numerous curtain calls she re-
ceived. The climaxes of all the acts are
dramatic, and the dialogue is bright and
catchy. The scenes between Lady Blair
ney Miss tiffany and Col. Mart Creigh-
ton (Thomas Hunter) in the grounds of
Gin ord Farm, was full of wit and elicit
ed well-merited applause.
Mr.. Paderewski's Return.
The Tribune says:
The popular Juror over Mr.. Paderew-
ski is become an elemental force. That
was overwhelmingly demonstrated at the
first of his recitals for this season, which
took place in the Music Hall yesterday
afternoon. To reasen with it in the hope
of keeping it sane and directing it SO
that art might benefit would be like ar
guing with the weather. 1t must take
its course and work out its own saliva
tion-or cure. The occasion is nicely
adapted to encourage the newspaper re-
viewer to realize the theory confessedly
dear to the hearts of so many public per-
formers. and make of himself simple
chronicler of the occurrences day by day
in the concert room. The story would
probably grow trifie tedious in the long
run and make a severe draft on the writ
er's laudatory epithets, but if thereby he
were recording the divine voice perhaps
his conscience would not only acquit him
of all neglect, but even reward him with
a sweet peace passing, because superior
to, all understanding. 1t was almost
worth trying.
Paderewski tickets are in great de-
mand at Stockbridge's. The concerts
will be given January 23d and oath.
