MUSIC AND DRAMA.
CoRsE PAXTON COMPANY.

The Corse Payton company has struck
a good thing in Portland When Mr..
Paytonyappeared here last season he was
perfect stranger but his lavish expendi'
ture In mounting plays, and the expen-
sive specialities he introduced, quickly
commented the company to the puohc
and the engagement had to be heightened.
This season MIR. Payton is not here win
the organization but his manager Mr..
David j. Ramage, is IA hustler and he
has every thing done just as Mr.. Payton
would like. The company has a full the.
atrioal staff and 1t takes possession OF the
theatre and sees that every thing runs like
clock work.
Yesterday at the matinee "Dsnise, SO
latsly seen here, done by Katharine Rober
and company, was producou to big au'
dience, Miss Florence Hamilton taking
the part of Denise Duval with much
emotional power, while Mr. Corbett was
an excellent Count de Lange. Mr.. j.
W. Barry as CASTOR, Mr. Crolius as the
doctor, and the other characters were
well taken.
In the evening another great house
witnessed the ''White Slave" which was
richly staged. Miss Florence Hamilton
as Liza the White Slave, Miss Lombard
as Nance. Miss Southy as Mrs, Lee. Miss
DE Costro as her daughter. MIR Corbett as
Clay Britton, MIR Crolius as Job, MIR.

Wednesday evenings. with matinee on
Wednesday. The music of the opera is
no. only of the kind 10 insure just such
u high tide of popularity as 1t Is now en-
toying, but the opera itsslf has pict-
uresque setting that would make the for
tune of many less tuneful work. The
scenic artist, MIR. ErBest Gros is de-
ssrvsdiy praised for his reproduction of
the charm of the soft Italian coloring.
The costumes, of which there are no less
than four hundred, are rich and remark
ably effective in their artistically arranged
contrast of color. IL is asserted by the
management that there Is not single
grouping or evolution in tbs performance
that has ever been given before Some
OF the effects, notably the action OF The
Bride Elect march. ami the old bit by
the chorus which has been christsned
1.-The Italian Cake Walk, - will lie ganu-
ine surprises here. The chorus OF 90

walk, and strange to say. 1t is affected
without singing a single note.

the deficiency is charged on all letters
