MUSIC AND pRAMEa
THE PASSION PLAY.

I
son, and these will be given at the NATL
nee today and evening performance Tx
cellent audiences enjoyed the moving PIC
lures at the matinee and evening per-
formances yesterday. One OF the admir-
able features of the entertainment Is the
very distinct enunciation of the lecturer,
whose every word can be distinctly heard 3
in any part of the house.
HEART OF CHICAGO.
In the railroad scene in 1.-THE Heart of
Chicago Lincoln }. Carter's latest play,
a seemingly impossible feat in stage
effect has been accomplished. the ap-
nroach of train head on, growing lar
ger and larger as it appears in full view
of the audience, from a mere speck in the
horizon, until at last when the audience
is almost wild with the excitement of
the situation, the full-sized locomotive
stops at the footlights. The illusion is
perfect. At the beginning of the act a
beautiful and realistic scene is shown,
with the track in perfect perspective run
ming back apparently about four miles
until 1t is lost in the distance, such as is
usual in the great war panoramas OF
Gettysburg, etc. The mechanism of the
enlargiug locomotive is the most intricate
and costly piece of machinery ever used
In stage effect. and like all the stage HUI
sions use in his play, was invented by
Mr.. Carter, who has always boasteo that
he could reproduce on the stage any won
der of mature or work OF man. After
seeing the approaching train in 1.-The
Heart of Chicago one must admit tnat
uhe uossi hiities of stage illusion is indeed
greab. when in the hands of one who is
master Of the art 1t will be seen at the
Portland Theatre today and Thurs.
