MUSIC AND DRAMA,
MIX white Flag.


The second performance of the Milk
White Flag WAS given to another splen-
did audience last night, and the laugh
ter and applause were constant. There
are many pleasing features to the piece,
but the best is that things are kept on
constant move There is no drag. The
band, the various speoialties all follow
each other rapidly. The oornet soloist
is a capital player. Clarisse Agnew is
capable dancer. Mr.. j. A. Libby
sings his sarenads with excellent taste
and voice, and all the other members Of
of the cast are good.
During the evening the orchestra un-
der the direction of Louis Baer, per-
formed the following selections:
Overture-Ransome Guards Stabl
Potpourri-Gems of the Day, Boyer Baer
March-Excelsior, Jr., Tracy
Wilbur Opera Company.
Few managers In the country have
been more successful in meeting the I'M
certain demands of the public during
the past few years than Manager A. l..
Wilbur. His company is always pleas
ing and aside from his firm musical foun-
dation, he always has a remarkably
strong comedy element, plenty Of bright
men, attractive ladies', rich and brilliant
costumes and good stage settings. The
company has always been immensely
popular in Portland. 1t was never
stronger than this season and its bright
pretty operas fill the house every evening.
Miss Richardson is decided favorite in
this city. Miss Richardson proves herself
fine singer and actress. On the whole,
comic opera or musical comedy, farce
comedy and speciality vaudeville have the
cad. The modern man spends his day
under a heavy pressure of work, and
when evening comes, be demands mental
rest, recreation and amusement provided
by artlstic players in artistic costumes.
and amid artistic surroundings. The
Wilbur Opera Company will be at Port
and theatre all next week.
The Man in the Iron Mask.
The theatre going public of Portland
will have cause for regret if they are not
well represented at the Portland theatre
Friday and Sa turday evening. March 9Th
and 9th, to witness MIR. Donald Robert
SON. 8 and M ISIS Brandon Doulgass's pre-
sanitation of Dumas's. The Man in the
Iron Mask" Their engagement here
promises to be one of the successes of the
season and we fell just in saying that
we have never had higher class produc-.
ton, nor more powerful company to
appear here The costumes worn by the
entire company were designed and made
in France and are said to be historically
correct. Mr. Robertson's adaptation Of
the elder Dumas's novel of above title
closely follows It's original history.

Quartette concert to be given under the
auspices of the Rossini Club March 18th,
