MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Marie Wainwright.

Since the retirement of Mary Anderson
no American actress has achieved great
er fame for her own talents, the magnifi-
cence of her costuming, her choice Of
worthy plays. and the excellence of her
company, than has Miss Wainwright.
Her appearance at Portland Theatre,
January 25, should draw out large and
fashionable audience. She will present
her latest success, the fascinating come
dy-drama of life among the 400 in New
York city, entitled 'sThe Social Swim"
written expressly for her by Clyde Fitch,
the brilliant author of "Beau Brummell'
and "a Masked Ball.
Side Tracked.
''Side Tracked was one of the sad
dest attempts at melodrama we can re-
call having seen, but there were some
clever club swinging and contortion acts
iii the piece. There was a big gallery,
and the 'gods" were evidently we'll
pleased. There was little financial cpl
sode between actors and manager, but it
was happily settled before the evening
was over.
Nye and Smith.
Everybody knows Bill Nye, but not SO
many William Hawley Smith, whose re-
markably successful pedagogic story,
THE Evolution of Dodd," has recently
given him prominence in literature ri
valling that long enjoyed by him as an
exceptionally talented artist of elocu-
ton, dialect and impersonation. The
real effect of his selections lies in their
naturalness. There is nothing stilted
about them. Art in his case only adds
lustre to natural talent. That he is a
finished elocutionist, skilled in all the
rules and practices of that difficult sci
ence, is true, but he is more than that;
he is faithful interpreter of nature
through the marvellous fineness and COM
plexity of his own being. These two,
Nye and Smith, will appear at Kotz-
SEMINAR Hall Friday next, and the tickets
are on sale at Stockbridges.
