= Walter Sanford's great scenic produe-
ton, "The Power of Goldn, opens the
season at the Portland Theatre Friday
and Saturday evenings of this week. The
play is an intense story of life in London

the lives led by some of England's arts
toeracy, strongly eontrasted with those
led by the unfortunate inhabitants of

are those representing the garnet home of

The Two Brothers.
One of the greatest perform ances ever
given by the McCallum company, at the
Pavilion at Peaks Island, will be given

adds greatly to the interest of the enter

company, proved a grand success and
will surely form the banner week of the
season. Every member of the cast is at
his or her best. Miss Hall is once more
