MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Hoss & Hoss.

@Hot Tamales" is an expression that Is
now heard throughout the country, maze
nopular by "Hot Tamalee Man IN " Hoss
and Hoss.n In Boston and New York
this catch line is heard at every burh'
and is applied in every sense lmaglnaole'
for that is the fate of popular express
ion. no matter what it's significance. we
shall hear it once more in its original
form next Friday and Saturday and
Saturday matinee at the Portland Thea
tire. The company presenting " Hoss and
Hoss" is of much the same composltlon
as last season. Willie Collier is still seen
as Judge Hoss, his original creation. BY
the way. these will be among the last
times that Mr.. Collier will play this part
as he produces new play by E. E. Kid
der. entitled "a Back Number" later in
the season. Among the other favorltes
TO be seen are Mark Sullivan, James b.
Gentry, Louise Allen Collier, Helena
Collier and Helen Reimer.
RazzIe Dazzle.
Rice & Bostons' fun makers will be seen
in Razzle Dazzle at Portland Theatre
Monday and Tuesday next. The company
is composed of some of the best speclal-
lists in the profession, and Che piece pub
bles over with wit, humor and topical
songs.
Sliyinski.
Next Monday and Tuesday the piano
recitaIs by the great Hungarian pianist
Sliyiniski, will take. place at City Hail.
That the musical people OF .the State
generally will be present is an assured
fact. The advance sale of seats shows
this. and there will be half fare on the
railroads to those holding tickets to elth-
er the Monday night or Tuesday after
noon performances. Good seats can still
be procured at Stockbridges'. A New
York journal says of Slivinski: Honesty
and ssraightforwardness are terms ire
uuently applied to musical performers
with seemingly but little meaning. but
in the case of Slivinsiki (who is still a
young MANI those words occur to
you as eminently appropriate and descrip-
tive. His touch is firm and his grasp
of the meaning of the compositions he
ESSAYS to reproduce seems satisfactory
alike from the standpoint of the COM
poser and of the interpreter. When IN
addition to this is mentioned the fact
that he is past master of technique,
neither Rubinstein, Schumann, Chopin
or Liszt causing him the least embar-
rassment in execution, what more really
remains to be said?"
A Farewell.
Mrs. Adelina Patti will make one more
appearance in Boston, and she herself
declares that this will be her farewell.
! Patti, after this season will never again
] be heard in the United States. The con-
cert in which she is to say farewell will
be given at Music Hall, Tuesday even
ing, Feb IS. In the first place she will
sing "Bel Raggio," which has not been
heard in Boston as sung by her in concert
for several years. The encore will be an
entirely new song written for her. OF
course she will sing Home, Sweet
Home" at her farewe IL, for without that
no Patti concert would be complete. The
second act of martha" will also be given,
with all of the characters in costume.
The supporting artists will be the same
that were heard here bfeore: Miss Fabbri
contralto; Mr.. Durward Lely, tenor; Mr..
Galassi, baritone Mr.. Novara, bass, and
Mr. Arditi, conductor of the orchestra
