MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Faust.


Lewis Morrison's production of
Faust, which will BIO seen here on
MONDAY evening. August 81, has most
viva ana telling idealization of the I'M
canny story of the reveIs of the Witches
on Uhe brocken. The tortured souls,
the OATS and owls hooting and screaming
ana anove all Mephisto glorying in the
slght with tightening flashing and play
ing about him and rendering the scene
one OF wierd intensity, while through 1t
all there comes the vision of Marguerite;
inc whole terminating with shower OF
nre oartlng, Kissing flames and steam,
psrfect Inferno. This is truly the acme
Oh perfection in stage mechanics and
electrical effects. Miss Florence Roberts
Will be the Marguerite, the lady who 80
surprised and delighted all who saw her
In the part last season.
The Indian.
Ihs Halifax Evening Mail, speaking
OF Mr.. Lewis M0rrisons new play of
The Indian" that had its initial pro-
duction in thatEcity last Wednesday even
ing, says: "a crowded house greeted
Mr.. Morrison last night, and, although
he will. of course, play to large audiences
in larger cities, he will possibly never
play before moro interested and intell-
igently critical one. What uncle Tom s
Cabin has done for the colored race
painting in vivid colors the degradation
and misery and cruelty of the slave trade
The Indian should do, and. if one may
be allowed to prop hesy,i in all probability
will do, for the red man. The whole
trend of the play is to show the injustice
and cruelty melted out by Uncle Sam and
his agents to the poor Indian who, as
Red Feather, claims owns this conti-
nent from ocean to ocean. =
The Indian" will be seen at Portland
theatre next Tuesday evening.
McCulIum's Theatre.
Turned Up" as presented by Mr.. Nc
Cullum and his company at the island
theatre last night was one of the clean :
est, brightest and funniest plays that
has ever been seen at this house. So
amusing are the scenes that the large
audience fairly screamed from beginning
TO end last night. AT the closing of each
act curtain call was demanded. 1t Is
doubtful If the old favorite, Mr.. McCul-
lum was ever seen in a funnier part, or
ever gave better performance than
he did as Curraway Bones in "Turned
Up" fsss

for the purpose of bringing the land into
the market. The land was divided into
building lots which have all been sold, and
many dwelling houses thereon. The grades
given for building purposes followed as
closely as possibly the natural surface of the
street. This was probably done to save the
cost of construction. In this distanceTof
$50 feet we have no less than ten different
grades on the northerly side, and nearly as
many on the southerly side. The southerly
side Of the street is considerably higher than
