MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Ethel Tucker Co,

At the matinee yesterday Miss Ethel
Tucker gave s'Queenie" again. This
is Miss fuckers master effort and
as it requires great physical as well as
mental strain it is rarely that she gives
it more han once a week. OF course she
received the warm plaudits of the audi
ence. Mr.. Meldon again delighted with
his Characterization of Lord Walter.
In the evening the beautiful scenic
melodrama, THE Sea of lee was present
ed. We cannot recall at this time pre-
sentation of this old familiar play since
the days of Fanny Marsh theatre when
it attracted delighted audiences. Miss
Tucker charmed with the grace, the
ease and finish of her acting. The beauti-
full ship scene, the realistic ice scene, and
the palace in white and gold, aroused
great enthusiasm. The specialties be-
tween the acts continue to give great
pleasure.
At the matinee today "a Broken Life"
will be repeated and in the evening Miss
Tucker will appear as Leah in Leah the
Forsaken.''
Tho Colonel.
One of the greatest stage favorites of
Portland theatre goers is Mr.. VIM. H.

lion theatre during the summer months
has won for him hosts of admirers in this
vicinity. This talented gentleman S
many friends will no doubt give him a
royal reception next Monday evening,
when he appears at Portland theatre in
s.The Colonel" Mr.. Pascoe's part in
this excellent comedy drama was written
especially for him and it is perhaps need
less to say gives him the widest scope for
the display of his rare ability. Mr..
Pascoe has been directing the rehearsals
of the play and his knowledge and expert
ence in dramatic affairs have proved of
the greatest assistance to the other mem
bers of the cast. The dramatic club

duce "The Colonel is composed of a
number of Portland S most talented anna
teurs and there is no doubt but that the
performance will be the most successful of
its kind ever presented in this city The
demand for seats has been unusually brisk
