gins a weeks engagement at Portland

supported by company of superior ablll-
ty.
This city will be the initial point OF a
tour which the winsome little lady is to
make under the management of Mr.
Charles A. Wilson the plays included in
her repertoire are mostly of cheerful
nature, and tho principal parts are just
suited to the popularstar.

much below the standard of the entertain
ments, but it is desired that all may feel
as though they could afford to attend
more than once during the week and SO
seats can be purchased at much less than
regular prices.
Alexander Salvini in the character OF
D'Artagan in Dumas's impossible, but
exhilirating romance "The Three Guards
menu is fine. 1t has practically come
to pass that this playsis impossible on
the American stage without Salv1n1 In
the leading role, and his buoyant, enthu-
asiastic spirit prevailing the representa-
tion. 1t is no mere Interpretation OF the
character t hat one sees, Tut rather that
Salvini has formed in his own mind the
kind of q man that Dumas intended his
hero to be, and by sort of transmigra-
tion has beco,ne'th identical individual.
at least, such would more than probably
be Dumass own conviction, ii he were
able1 to see Mr. Salvini's inimitable per-
Torrance. In this role Salvini is irresis-
ible, and he carries his audience as easily
as his flashing sword sweeps away the
myrmidons of Richelieu. Should MIR.
Salyini be able to pour himself into the
moulds as it were of the Ham let's, Othel-
los, and other great characters as he has
into that of D'Artagan, and which many
prophesy he yet will do, he certainly
will be one of the most. illustrious actors
of the near future. In the meantime,
with the rank and file of theatre-goers,
his popularity is ever in the ascent.
