secretary of the Maine Baptist conven-

Dunn should be assigned to that pleasant
duty, as he was formerly pastor of the
Free street church. He had many compli-
mentary things to say about Portland
people in general and the Free street par
ishioners in particular. He spoke in de-

MUSIC AND pRAMH.
THE GEM THEATRE.

The production of "Aristocracy" by
Mr.. Douglas and his company is certain
ly a treatito the critical theatre goer. 1t
is seldom that one.sees such an excellent
all round company and much
attention to every detail and effect
in piece. A performance that has
received such lavish praise often times
falls short of our expectations, but in
this case they are fully realized. "Aris-
tocracy'' is play that gives the whole
company ample scope to show their quail
ties as actors and actresses There is a
vein of comedy running through the
piece that Keeps the audience in good
humor. Mr.. Walter Thomas and Miss
May are splendid as Sheridan Stockton
and Katherine Ten Brock Lawrence.
They have already become great fayorites
with our people. Mr.. Lowe does some
fine work, especially in the third act.
Mr.. Morrison has the best part we have
seen him in SO far this season. His
French accent is perfect. Too much can
not be said in praise of Miss Virginia
johnson as Virginia. She is very strong
in the third act and she dresses the part
beautifully. Mr.. Cooper is always good
and Miss Prootor's dresses oaptiyate the
audience.
"Aristocraoy" will be played onlyFa
few times more and every one that en-
joys a good wholesome ayas.,ou1d see
it,. Suburban patrons of the Gem Will
find cars of the Portland Railroad COM
pany in waiting to take them home on
the arrival of the steamer from the island.
Reserved seats should be engaged as early
as possible as there is a good demand for
them.
