MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Sawtelle Company.


There were two large audiences gath
cred at Portland Theatre yesterday al
both matinee and evening performances
In the afternoon Bess, the Madcap''
was the bill, in which Mr.. Sawtelle as
Jack Mason, Jessie Sawtelle as Bessie
Fairfax, Tony West as Tom Flynn, Baby
june as Little Jack, and the other mem
bers of the company acquitted themselves
most satisfactorily
In the evening the balcony and. gallery
were crowded, and large majority OF
the seats down stairs was taken. Michael
Strogoff was the bill, the play in which
William Redmond and Mrs. Thomas
Barry appeared here several seasons ago,
creating quite furore. Last night Mr.
Sawtelle and Margaret Tenant took the
roles then assumed by Mrs Barry and
Mr.. Redmond, and received much ap-
plause for their efforts. Jessie Sawtelle
made an effective Nadia, while Tony
West as Blunt, the American reporter,
and Harry Bewley, the English CORE
spondent, created a good deal of merri-
ment. The other characters were well
taken. The close Of the third act, the
triulnphEof the Tartars with the burning
village and the music of the Russian
national hymn, was very effective.
The orchestra, which is a very strong
feature, played this programme:
Overture-Light Cavalry, Suppe
