MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Harvard Glee Club Concert,

The musical clubs of Harvard Univer-
sity, gave their long looked-for concert
at Kotzschmar hall last evening to a
very fashionable and enthusiastic audi
ence. The young ladies, for the most
part, were in full evening dress, as they
were to go Immediately after the
concert to dance at Gilbert's hall.
The majority of the gentlemen were in
dress suits. A crimson light was diffused
over the stage from the electric lights at
the rear. and little light from the foot
lights, if there had been any, would have
been very acceptable and brought out the
features of the singers in holder relief.
The glee club this year is singing re-
markedly well. They have wisely
adopted the plan OF dispensing with the
"chestnuts" and giving a happy variety
of the grave and gay. They sang last
night with an excellent body of tone,
and a finish that was noticeable.
Reichardt's Image of the Rose" the
solo by Mr.. Green, was a marked example
of this, and Mr.. Green is the possessor of
very pleasing tenor.
Mr.. Whitman's yodel was worthy OF
the encore it received. Mr.. Wilder has a
face and voice admirably suited to the
humorous, and he was honored with a
double encore after "The Canniballee, q
and with another after the "Midway
Plaisance" in which his verse y, de-
voted to Portland and prohibition,
brought down the house. The club re.
ceived several encores.
The banjo and mandolin clubs gave
their numbers with much refinement OF
style and beauty of expression. They
shared the honors of the evening with
the glee club.
Among the audience present were
noticed almost all the mbers of the
Harvard club in Maine, besides repre-
sentatives of the Maine colleges
These are the gentleman who took
part:

Marie Wainwright.

A rare treat is in store for our theatre
goers in the appearance at the Portland
theatre, January 25, of that famous
actress and charming woman, Marie
Wainwright, who is famed not only for
her own beauty and talents, but also for
her superb costuming and for always
surrounding herself with company of
more than the average merit. This sea-
son her principal associates are such well
known people as Barton Hill, George
Bushby and William Ingersoll. Miss
Wainwright will appear in brilliant
comedy-drama of life among the fashion
able 400" in New York city. This was
written expressly for her by Clyde Fitch,
and has been enthusiastically received in
New York and all the largest cities. The
story is that of an ambitious young
married couple, who seek to become
recognized as leaders respectively in the
worlds of finance and fashion. This is
peculiarly vital theme in these days of
mad racing for social and monetary pre-
eminence.
The play in no way resembles any of
the numerous "Crusts" or "Fringes" of
Society"
