MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The sawtelle Dramatic Company.

The Sawtelle Dramatic Company.
Two large audiences attended the per-
formances given by the Sawtelle Compa-
ny at the Portland Theatre yesterday. 1t
is very evident that the company has
made pronounced hit. The success
achieved is deserved, sfor thesentertain-
ments presented are as good as any ever
given in the city at the prices. Baby
June has become the favo rite of the la
dies and the children, her appearances
being greeted by perfect storms of ap-
plause. The great emotional drama,
East Lynne" dramatized from Mrs.
HeLry Woods's story of the same name,
will be the bill for the matinee this
afternoon. The sterling melodrama
The Streets of New ork," is the at
traction this evening. The announce
ments for tomorrow are Lost at Sea-"
for the matinee, and Bronson Howard's
famous society drama 1.-The Bankers
Daughter" for the evening.
Hoyt's ''A Black sheep"
Some idea of the success of Charles H.
Hoyt's latest and funniest play, "a
Black Sheep" may be gathered from the
fact that for twelve weeks it crowded
the Park Theatre, Boston, nightly, peo-
pie being turned away for want of
room at nearly every performance. A
whirlwind of laughter and applause ac-
companied each presentation of the come.
dy, songs and dances were redemanded
time and again, while the players had
"callsn sufficient in mum ber to satisfy
the most eXacting star. Mr.. Hoyt has
been particularly fortunate in securing
the right man for the leading character
in the play. How the part of "Hot
Stuff" could be played better than by
Otis Harlan would be difficult to con-
ceive. His spirit, his dash, his exuber-
ant humor and quaint methods are ex-
actly suited to the role
RlTuesday and Wednesday, evenings of
next week "a Black Sheep" comes to
the Portland Theatre, and will then be
played by the original Boston cast. The
sale Of seats opened yesterday morning
