MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Rory of the Hill.

drama that achieved such a success IN
the Grand. Boston, lately will be seen at
Portland Theatre. Rory is an Irish boy,
a changeling, the scion of noble family
who has been brought up+as one OF the
people and who heads the peasantry in
their outbreaks against the legalized
oppression of the landlords. Among the
latter is one, a farmer. barley, who by
fraud has gained possession of the estates
which belonged to the father Of Rory.
Rory is aware of his crime, but his love
for Darley's daughter keeps him quiet,
till hunted like beast and desperate
he secretly marries Darley's daughter
and makes stand against the father.
AT the last moment his foster mother
gives him up to his true one and he en-
ters into his estates. This is but the
crudest outline of the story and around
it the author has woven score or more
of realistic details that cannot but APP
peal to the person with the least memory
of the old country.
The Boston Advertiser said: 81. G.
