MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Faust.


Last evening Mr.. Lewis Morrison APP
peared at Portland theatre in Faust" to
large and well pleased audience The
play is familiar to all theatregoers, more
particularly through Gounod's opera of
the name, although both the story and
drama antedate the former by
many years.
Mr. Morrison is we'll adapted to the
character of Mephistopheles. He has a
clear, musical, flexible voice. distinct
enunciation, and face that can be
moulded to whatever expression suits the
owner. In his representation of the fiend
he can be cunning or severe, horrible in
his mirth or clothe himself in the
seriousness Of the philosopher. Beg in
ming with the opening scene where he ap-
pears at the command of Faust, to his
final triumph in the destruction of the
with him. He was called before the
curtain at the close of the first act.
The other characters in the drama
seemed to give pleasure also, for Mr..
Elsner, as Faust, Miss Florence Roberts
as Marguerite, and Mr.. Montague as
Valentine, were also called before the
curtain. The play was carefully and
effectively mounted. The electrical
effects were all excellent, especially the
vision of the cross, the illuminated
gardens, the witches carnival on the
Broken, and the final apotheosis of
Marguerite.
The music was superior to that which
is usually heard. The students drinking
chorus, the Ave Maria, the Judgment
chant, were all given with taste and
feeling.
At the close of the second act Mr.
Grimmer and his orchestra received an
encore for their medley of popular songs,
for which compliment Mr.. Grimmer
bowed his thanks.
The play will be repeated tonight.

cloud of dust. At night the scene
Is grand indeed. 4 lurid cloud
hangs constantly over the pit visi-
bic from Hilo, Kau and all the in
tervening country. When fog shuts
down, the view from the Volcano
House is one of singular and im-
pressive beauty. The actual fire
of the pit cannot be seen, but the
whole heaven, all around and be-
low in the crater a beautiful rosy
light is diffused which fades or
grows intense, as the fires rise or
fall. In short, it may be said that
there never has been a more inter
esting time to visit the Volcano.
On the evening OF Sunday, the
29th of July, as Maunaloa cleared
light column of smoke was dis
tinctly visible. 1t was apparently
at the east of Mokuaweoweo. Many
saw it, and good glasses showed a
definite and clear column of smoke,
but it disappeared after a day or
two. Possibly, an eruption is pre-
pairing.
The Volcano House was never in
better shape than at present. A
telephone and daily stages to Hilo
have made it central in position.
July saw more tourists than ever.
Residents are very slowly learning
that it is better in every way to come
to the Volcano than to 90 to Cali
fornia. The temperature is simply
perfect the daily range of the
thermometer is about "a to 20 deg.
Walking, riding and driving are
equally delightful. On the 1st in
slant there were about thirty-five
guests in the house.
The Volcano road is practically
finished gang is at work on the
last grade, in front of the hotel,
connecting with the Kau road.
