A Temperance Town.

A Temperance Town.
Next Monday evening Charlie Hoyt's
famous satire on the peculiarities of pro-
hibition, "A Temperance Town." will be
seen at the Portland Theatre. This
play created great sensation when here
last season, crowding tie theatre both
nights. There have been few changes
in the admirable company then present.
ing it, all the old favorites still remain
ing, notably George Richards and Eu-
gene Garfield in their famous roles of
Mink JONES'" the town drunkard, and
"Bingo, his son." The sale of seats at
the box Office is large, and those who
desire to sec the play should get tickets
at once.
McCarty's Mishaps
Fun will reign supreme at Portland
Theatre next Tuesday evening when
Barney Ferguson and his associates will
present "McCarty's Mishaps," delight
full condemnation of music and merri-
ment. :: :. The company this season has
been greatly changed with the idea of
introducing an entirely new lot of spec
IL
the scheme has proved highly successful.
The sale of seats will open at the box
office this morning.
Haydn Concert.
A few more desirable seats may yet be
procured for the Haydn concert on Mon
day evening next. The seating capacity
of Kotzschmar hall is small therefore
those desiring to hear one of the best
vocal concerts that has been given in
this city in years should procure their
seats early. Gounod's Mass in e fat is
one of the most beautiful compositions
known. It's Interpretation as given by
the chorus of eighty voices under the
direction of Professor Kotzschmar, shows
all the strength and beauty as conceived
by it's composer and is conclusive evil
dence that in ability to render sacred
music the Haydn Association ranks
with the leading choruses of the country.
OF course Mr.. Arthur Beresford's solo
singing will prove an immense card,
while the other solo parJs will he ably
taken by Mrs. Helen Winslow Potter,
Miss Minnie Burke, Messrs. Bert Barnard
and Frank Pierce.

brated for the attractive May Day entsr-

propose shall be no exception to the
others. They will produce the charm
ing uperetta of "a Day in the Woods"
afternoon and evening, and it will be
secure reserve seats at Chandler's.
