Hawaii.
Great interest is being manifested in
the production of Emerson 81 MitchelPs
new opera, by the Portland Athletic
Club. Hawaii" is an original comic
opera, in twoSacts, and the story deals
with incidents which might have hap
pened during the recent unpleasantness
at Honolulu, and although in working
out the plot the author has endeavored
to amuse rather than to instruct. Still
you cannot witness the performance of
this opera without adding greatly to
your store of historical knowledge and
forming new ideas of the real happen
ings at royal court. Mr.. John ?. WEIGH,
whose fine baritone is afforded full
scope by the songs allotted to Her Royal
Highness, the Queen, has already as
sumed regal air, and it is difficult to
attract his attention to the ordinary
affairs of,every day life without the pre-
fix of "Your Majesty" Mr.. Harry
Rounds. the bright and winsome maiden
of Injured Innocents. is now a meek
and goodly man, who, with upturned
eyes and folded hands,H seeks to inspire
with graver thoughts the giddy chorus
girls around him. The music of the
new opera is bright and catchy through
out. The ballet will be simply superb.
and the seats will be on sale at Mitch
CLIPS ticket Office, 542 Congress street, at
O'Clock on Thursday morning.
Sowing the Wind"
"SowIng the Wind" has finished it's
run at the Columbia Theatre in Bos-
ton, and even on sinclement nights the
house has been crowded. The play co uld
easily fill the theatre for long time to
come, but the hard and fast lines of
contracts made for other cities compel
Mr.. Frohman to withdraw 1t from Bos-
ton. Inc play stands out prominently
as one of the most interesting examples
of the playwright's art produced in the
t. I. Ia ,~-.A al
force and skill, and SO great is its hold
on the audience that the .comedy ele-
menu sometimes jars. The company,
headed by Mr.. J. H. Gilmour, and Miss
Mary Hampton, does conscientious, care
full and harmonious work, and the per-
lection of detail all through the produc-
ton reflects tho greatest credit on. the
management of Mr.. Charles Frohman.
"Sowing the Wind" will unfold is beau
ties in Portland next Saturday.
