MUSIC AND DRAMA,
The World.

One of the greatest theatrical days in
Portland is on Thanksgiving and it has
always been the aim of Manager Lothrop
to provide a great attraction, and judg-
ing from the announcement of the multi
tudinous advertisements about the city he
will send to Portland on Thanksgiving
one of the best plays to be procured on
the eastern circuit at this time. This
great play has lain dormant for several
years and now it again appears to us as a
memento of other years, when it was
the wonder of the theatrical world. In
recent lecture at City hall, Bob Inger-
soil averred that in the course of time
a pebble may be polished and a
diamond dimmed with age" but to
lovers of the legitimate drama comes
controversion of this eloquent metaphor
1.-THE World" is a play that has suffered
the desirable fate of the metaphorical
pebble and now blossoms forth with
the brilliancy of the diamond. So far as
circumstances will permit the production
of "The World" at Portland THEATRE next
Thursday will be on a par with the origi-
nal Boston theatre spectacle The box
office will be open day and evening until
Thursday.
Primrose and West.
Stockbridge's music store will be kept
open all day Thanksgiving for the sale
of Primrose & West tickets. This COM
pany is noted for always having some
thing new for it's patrons, and tomorrow
afternoon and evening at City hall they
will in no way lower their record. The
specialties of Rice and Elmer, Morris
Cronin, Howe, Wall and Mcleod, Billy
Van aud Her, Burke and Randall will
form the strongest minstrel organization
in the existence of Primrose & West.
People who didn't see the Yale
Harvard foot ball game can see it
scientifically reproduced tomorrow night
and by. two elevens made up from the
troupe. Game will be called at $50,
Mr.. Primrose acting as Harvard's gallant
leader, Capt. Waters; while Mr.. West will
be seen as Yale's Capt. Hinkey. Special
costumes have been made at a cost of
$500, and the identical ball "kickedn in
all the great Cambridge games has been
purchased and is used nightly. This
clever bit of burlesque work has met
with great success.
Robin Hood
n The Boston artists who take part in
Robin Hood have. arrived. The members
of the company have worked energetical-
ly under Mr.. Gilbert's guiding hand and
performance of unusual merit may be
expected. The advance sale of seats is
very. large and full houses, mo doubt,
will be the rule. Mr.. Chandler has some
good seats left, but those who intend be-
ing present better make application
early.
The Remenyi Concert.
This evening at kotzschmar hall will
occur the second entertainment by the
Gilbert Lyceum course. 1t will BIZ a
concert by the Remenyi Grand Concert
company. Remenyi is well known in
Portland and needs no special mention.
He has with him some of the best,people
in the profession, and the performance
will be a great treat to lovers of good
music.
Notes.
The Boston Grand Opera House COM
pany will in short time visit this city
and will present Lester Wallack's famous
military drama 'Rosedale," on a scale
far more elaborate and finished than it
has ever been given before outside of
Boston or New York.
The Boston Ideal Opera company will
give Countess for Day" at Augusta,
Thanksgiving night. A large number of
Portland singers and friends of the com
pany will go to witness the performance.
