ences they drew to Por tland theatre

principal mum bers were all encored and
the curtain called after every act
The Still Alarm.
a melodramatic attraction of superior
merit comes to the Portland Theatre
next Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday afternoon. 1t is Joseph Ar
thurs celebrated play, "The Still
Alarm "The Still Alarm" does not de-
pend upon its realistic scenes for Its sue
cess, for it tells highly interesting
story. Among the characters intro
duced are Jack Manley, brave New
York fireman; Elipore Fordham. the

iErepl essible Cad: Doc, with his shat

MI. and Mrs. Kendall.
MIR. and Mrs. Kendall and their London
company will make their first and only
visit to Portland at the City Hall Sat
urday evening, with their latest and
most successful play, 1.-The Second Mrs.
Tanqueray This play, as work of
dramatic construction is said to have few
equals in theatrfc literature. The char
acter in which Mrs. Kendall appears,
Paula Tanqueray, is one which is en-
tirely dissimilar to any she has ever be-
fore taken, and gives. her more opportu-
mites to display her ability as an actress
of rare talent than all of her previous
roles combined 1.-The Second Mrs. Tan
queray" is a so3ial study, in which Mr..
Pinero, the great English playwright, is
said to have outdone himself, though
the boIdness of his theme, and the fear
less manner in which he has treated it
has provoked no end of discussion. The
Kendals have long held warm place in
the hearts of play goers throughout the
English speaking world, for their name
is connected with the highest class of
dramatic work, and their connection
with the new production makes it one of
more than ordinary Importance. The
tickets are selling rapidly at Center &
McDowell's and there should be no time
lost in securing them.

Although April 10Th seems a long
time ahead the days pass rapidly, and
those who have failed to go to Stock
BRIDGES and get seats will regret it when
the time for the concert by the great
Boston Symphony Orchestra arrives.
The orchestra will be directed by Mr..
Paur, his first appearance in Portland.
Chambers Concert.

Chandler's concert commenced yesterday
morning with good sale. Now, let
everyone take hold and make this a rous-
ing success, pack the house, buy at least
one ticket, if you can't go. If ever a
man deserved testimonial, Mr.. Chand-
Ter does. He has made Portland a repu-
tation( musically) from Maine to Califor-
MIA. The same as Gilmore is to Boston
and New York, Sousa to Washington,
Mr.. Chandler is to Portland The concert
programme itself will be worth more
than the price Of tickets. The consoli-
dated band will play the Might Alarm"
introducing the alarm, the flash of fire,
imitation of horses on pavements, etc.

sold, but get them at once. For prices
