MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Treat.


Barry & Fay will appear at Portland
Theatre tonight. The names Of Barry &
Fay, the funny actors, and sMcKenna's
Filtration the hilarious farce-comedy,
in which they appear, conjure up in the
minds of theatre-goers memories of
many merry evenings in days gone by
when they were first seen in 'Muldoon's
Picnic'' and later on in ssIrish Aristoc-
racy." They now have the qualification
of saying that their run of one hundred
and seventy-five consecutive perform
ances at the Park Theatre in New York
city last season was the largest ever
made by any one star OF stars appearing
in farce-comedy at any one house in this
country.
Kneisel Quartette.
The Kneisel Quartette will give the
next entertainment in the regular Stock
bridge course tomorrow evening at City
Hall. The Kneisel Quartette has given
in past seasons several courses of con-
certs in Portland at kotzschmar Hall
and the First Parish Church respective
ly to audiences composed of our most
enthusiastic musical people. Tickets
are on sale at Stockbridge's. This con-
cert will be one of the finest of the sea-
| son.
The Anderson Comedians.
The 1.-TWO Old Cronies" will q the at
traction at Portland Theatre on Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings, February 21st
and 22d, giving a matinee for ladies and
children on Washington's Birthday, Feb
ruary 22d, at o'clock. A contemporary
relates that 1.-TWO Old Cronies" is mus
ical farce-comedy of more than usual
force, also an extravaganza of no mean
pretensions. Manager Sydney announces
that he has secured the best talent avail
able-actors who act, singers who sing
and dancers who can dance-and SO the
critic has it: after each member of the
company had appeared on the stage it
was unanimously the verdict Of the large
audience that the manager knew what
he was talking about. Pretty faces were
abundant, bright songs numerous, funny
sayings constant and the audience was
kept in hilarious state throughout the
performance.
Notes.
Two large audiences greeted "Hoss
