MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Fri ends.

Mr.. Edwin NJ ilton Royle's play of
Friends" is one of the most delightful
plays now on the stage. When it was
presented here last season it won great
praise and that praise was well deserved
1t IS wel-told story. the dialogue is
really witty, and scenes that would be-
come almost too painful from their
emotional nature are happily lightened
by some artistic touches that serves to
relieve what would otherwise prove too
sombre. The acting Of Mr.. Itoy1e, the
author, Mrs. Royle, Harry Allen, Lucius
Henderson and Adolph Jackson is very
finished and effective. Mr.. Henderson
is an admirable pianist, and last night
he played the Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody,
No.2. and in response to an enthusiastic
encore, Seeling's "Lorelei," the former
with great brilhancy and the latter with
excellent taste .and expression. The cur
tain was called at the close OF eacn act.
The Portland daily press., 1895-05-04

We urge upon our people who love
really admirable play well acted. not
to forget to give MIR. Royle the crowd
ed house he deserves tonight.

comedy ever seen in this country and

Rising Generation" Mr.. Barry is the
most finished actor in his line and as
Martin McShane, the Irish contractor,
who rises from poverty to affiuence
through his own native shrewdness and
wit, has the best part that he has ever
played. He fairly convulses his auditors
from the. moment of his first entrance.
IL ere is fun in his walk and the very
flip of his coat tails is a comedy in itself.
He is certainly an artist. His support
| ing company includes his daughter,
| Lydia Barry, Miss Lizzie Conway,
Joseph Davis, Samuel Forrest and James
II. Manning. The dates of Mr.. Barry S
appearances at the Portland Theatre are
Wednesday and Thursday evenings of
next week.

| flesh and short Neck.
| It has been published widespread
| that Queen Victoria, when she lai.
the cornerstone of Mar lodge the
other day, expressed sadly prophetic
doubt that she would live to see the
structure completed. No real sppre-
hension has been aroused by this re-
port, even among people whose love
and solicitude for Britain's gentle SOW
| ereign are so genuine and tender that
| the slightest unfavorable announce
| ment concerning her excites sorrow
| and alarm throughout the length and
| breadth of the land. The growing
| burden of years and the recent inva-
sions of death within the royal house
hold furnish natural explanations of
melancholy forebodings, which bring
bitterness even TO the heart of a queen.
| So at least il has seemed to all except
those within limited circle.
The published reports regarding the
queens health during several months
past have been of the most resssuriDg
description. II became known when
she made her latest journey to the
south of Europe last year she was well
nigh helpless on account of rheuma-
tisrn or complications of that disorder.
1t was explained, however, that only
the lower extremities were affected,
and that she did not suffer greatly.
This disa bility had long been chronic.
but II improved slightly while she was
abroad.
Ever since her return her health in
the ordinary sense OF the term has
been excellent; and yet il is true. par
adoxically, the queens medical sd-
visers have for months past beer
guarding her physical well-being with
the gravest solieitude. The public
read of her long daily drives In az
open carriage in all kinds OF weather,
and naturally they infer there can be
nothing far wrong with an elderly
woman who evidently thrives upon
such exposure. And yet the fact Is j,
