MUSIC AND DRAMH
McCULLUM'S THEATRE.

Notwithstanding the many extra coun-
ter attractions offered the amusement
seekers in Portland this week, the atten
| dance at McCullum's theatre yesterday
afternoon has only been exceeded twice
this season at matinee performance,
and although the weather affected the
attendance in the. evening, there was a
large audience present who greatly en-
joyed the excellent production, many be-
ing heard to say that it was the most in :
teresting play that Manager McCullum
has presented this season. Although the
title of this weeks attraction, IA Flag
of Truce" lead many to expect to see !,
war drama, visit to the theatre happily
disappoints them, for instead of what
they have made mp their minds to expect,
they see a beautiful domestic comedy
drama, intermingled with military
element, SO delicatsly and artistically in
PRODUCED that it gives charm to this
play not generally found In dramas of
this description
Owing to the large amount of scenery
that Manager McCullum is obliged to
build for the Shaughraun in order to pre-
sent it in the manner that he has con.
tamplated, it has been found impossible
to get it all ready by Monday night, so
the production will have to be postponed
one week. Many of the scenes are SO
massive that another week will be of
great advantage to the production. At
ter careful consideration Manager McCul-
lum has decided to present the favorite
emotional "East Lynne" next
week, and work was commenced last
night on the several scenes for this pro-
duction. Theatre goers will have great
curiosity to see this talented company in
this well-known play, and no doubt it
will attract large audiences. Persons
who have purchased seats for the
Shaughraun can have them exchanged for
"East Lynne or they will he trans
ferred to the following week.
THE GEM THEATRE.
The Iron Master is drawing splendid
houses at the Gem. The dramatization
of this play from the novel LIE Matre de
FORCES, has been remarkably well done,
the romantic interest well sustained
and the atmosphere of romance SO
marked in the book is well preserved
and transferred to the stage with added
effect. Mr.. Douglas plays the part of
the Iron Master with power and earn
estness most convincing, his fine voice
and presence aiding him in fully realiz-
ing the picturesque figure of the Iron
Master.
Miss Rowan makes very charming
Claire, the wife of PHILIPPE Derblay, the
Iron Master. She is endowed with a
handsome face and fine figure and shows
a great deal of magnetism in her acting
of the part. If this play had come to
the city with great blaze of trumpets 1t
would have set the town wild, not any more
so perhaps than it has the Gem. Only the
most satisfactory part of it is, it can be
seen at the beautiful Gem at popular
prices. Every member of MIR. Douglas S
company is a star performer, and the, Iron
Master could not have been staged and
played letter at any theatre in the coun-
try. 1t will only be seen this week when
1t must give way to another new play
that will take the people by storm.

THE GIRLS OF PUERTO RICO.
Love-Making Rather Difficult Down AZ

Love Making Rather Difficult Down at
San Juan.
Augusta Ortiz. of San Juan. Puerto
Rico now in Baltimore, said to I; Bal
timore Sun reporter on Wednesday,:
san Juan is a pretty town, With lots
OF colors and a gay people. They dress
near!y like YOU here except concerning
the trousers. The men wear a coat and
vest, collar and shirt like Americans.
but the trousers are half Spanish and
half French, very wide to the knee and
very tight below.
The girls have a hard time. not
nearly as nice as the Baltimore girls.
and the young men have lots OF trou-
BILE in making; love. The girls wear
gowns like those here, but arrange their
hair with a swoop that takes it back
OFF the forehead to knot in the back,
and sometimes it hangs all the way
down without a knot. 1t is very pretty,
but still they have hard time Why,
a young girl there cannot go out alone
like they can here. but she must take
some older friend or some relative as
Il chaperon. At home, when a young
man calls to see his girl. if he is much
in love. it makes him very mad to find
either father or mother or older sis
ter sitting in the same room. and they
will sit there until he goes. Really, the
only chance fellow has to talk TO the
girls without someone hearing all he
says is at the dances, which are given
every Week at the different clubs, and
even then he has to talk to her quick
~ while he Is dancing. for when they
stop she has to go back to her mother
or sister, or aunt, or somebody. The
young men, however. make the best OF
the dances. When you want to marry
4 girl you have to ask hei. parents first
of all. because you get no chance to
ask the girl. This is a very bad Gus
TOM and I think when the American
soldiers get down there things will be
different. Both men and women in San
Juan and all ,a'er the island wear
clothes OF much more color than the
Americans. and you rarely see a dark
suit of clothes on a man. The girls are
gay with all the colors of the rainbow
and With more of chance to see them
without chaperons life there would be
Very pleasant"
