Shadows of Great City.
Shadows of Great City is the attrao-
tion at the Portland theatre this evening
and Saturday and matinee. The play is
strong melodrama, one of the strongest
in fact, now on the boards. 1t is worthy
of success. for one thing, because it is not
repelling in its tragic parts nor coarse
and trivial i'll its comedy elements. The
story, too, is an interesting one, end
that is an element that is lacking in too
many of our emotional pieces. And to
make this story as vivid and real as life,
NO better cast of characters could be
formed than that now given.
Miss Annie Ward Tiffany, VINO
plays the part of the Irishwoman Biddy
r oman, is an actress who has done good
work here before, and it is quite unneces-
sary to say that she is as good as possible
in this clever bit of character acting.
Miss Lottie Alter is very attractive
young woman who has not been long on
the stage, but who shows decided talent.
She is graceful and pleasing in the role
# the heroine, Annie Standish Mr.. Will
lam Beach is an ideal Tom Cooper. hon
Vt the renowned Joseph Jefferson) char
tcter acting in the part of Jim Farren,
The, convict, is good enough to call for
comment. In picking out these specially
prominent parts it must not be inferred
That the rest of the company is not
worthy OF mention. 1t is owing to its
general excellenoe that the performance
holds the attention of the audience from
beginning to end. Better scenic effects
in purely dramatic piece will seldom
be seen.
Wednesday and Thursday next "Coon
Hollow" will be seen AT Portland theatre,
and Friday and SATURDAY Caroline
