Notes.
Marie Corelli's wonderfully dramatic
story, "TheN Vendetta" has in "Fabio
Romani" received fitting adoption for
the stage. The play will be the attrac-

evening of next week.
In the "Ivy Leaf" which will be seen
at Portland Theatre Saturday evening a
good sized able bodied eagle, does a
lively turn by stealing child
and flying away with it. He has
been on the road for long time and has
got SO used to stealing babies and lug
ging them off into the theatrical sky
that it's just no trick at all for him,
and he earns his salary as easily as
government inspector.
