MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Paul Kauvar.
cable.

Steele Mackaye's "Paul Kauvar,"
which had it's first representation at
Portland theatre last night, is excellent
in construction, strong in situations and
forcible in dialogue. The drama is
founded on the French Revolution, those
times when lawlessness was COMPOUNDED
with liberty, and which have afforded
material for some of the strongest plays
known to the French or English speaking
stage. The mechanical effects in paul
Kauvar' are also admirably managed
and served to stir the audience to high
pitch of excitement This is especially
noticeable at the close of the first act,
where Kauvar dreams that he sees
Diane beheaded on the scaffold.
The play is in five acts; the first is de-
voted to Kauvar's studio, the second to
the prison of the Conciergerie, the
third, fourth and fifth to the grand
chateau of Delaroche at La Veudee, and
they are very well done. The acting is
strong. Mr.. Ell. Coulter Brinker is ex-
tremely effective as Kauvar; Max Won
Mitzel is crafty Marquis de Vaux, 9TH
erwise known as Citizen Gouroc. The
other characters were well taken. The
play will be repeated tonight.
Nine. Caperton's Recital
Probably as attractive a musical re-
cital as will be heard in Portland the
coming season will be the concert at
Kotzschmar hall this evening given by
Nine. Radcliffe Caperton of Philadelphia,
of whom SO many kind things have been
said by the best musical critics of the
country. AS we have previously said
the lady is the representative of Lam
peril in this country, the great teacher
whose methods have been adopted by
all the great singers of the world, and
whose instruction many of Names
sweetest vocalists have enjoyed. Nine.
Caperton will be assisted by several lad
les and gentlemen whose beautiful voices
are well known to Philadelphia musical
people. This will be the programmes:

Bottom of the Sea.
The dramatic sensation sThe Bottom
of the Sea-" which viii be presented at
Portland theatre tomorrow evening, is
full of remarkable scenic and mechanic
al effects. The destruction of the steam
err, the submarine scene where the vii
lain of the play cuts the air pipe that
supplies the diver with air when he is re-
pairing the submarine cable, and the at
tack by the great octopus are all Incl
dents of the most thrilling and realistic
description.
