MUSIC AND DRAMA.
McCaIIum's Theatre.

This week will in all probability be the
banner weekof the present season at Nc
CaIlum's theatre. The piece to be present.
ed is perhaps one of the best known plays
on the American stage. When produced
in New York few seasons ago lat the
a3d Street Theatre, "The.Lo Paradise"
scored one of the biggest hits ever at
tained by any drama and enjoyed the phe-
nomenal run of over $50 nights at that
theatre The scenery will be new and
very handsome. The second act will con-
sist of an iron foundry, with its big fly
wheels, beltings and steam hammers in
full operation This is the greatest scene
ever undertaken by summer company
and will doubtless prove a big success.
