theatre and WAS ushered to his seat In one
OF the back rows In the center Of the
house. Throughout the audi ence were
also seated several Of the members and
former members of the city government,
whose curiosity had been aroused BY the
course that had been taken by the
authorities of New York city In reference
to this now celebrated play.
At the conclusion of the play which
was at few minutes before eleven
O'Clock, Marshal Sylvester said that he
had witnessed the performance with some
degree Of interest. He stated that he
should take no action before today re-
garding the attempt of the company to
repeat the performance which had been
advertised for this evening. al cannot
tell tonight" he remarked. "whethsr we
shall do anything tomorrow about stop
ping the play tomorrow night"
The managers Of the company had not
intended to give more than a single per-
formanos of "Sspho" In this city, but be-
tween the acts last night one of the star
performers Of this "rep" aggregation ap-
peared before the footlights and explained
that so many people who had wished to
see the show last night had bssn turned
away from the doors, 1t had bean wisely
decided to repeat the play this evening.
THE PLAY.
There are divergent opinions Of course
AZ to the ethical and moral values Of
plays like "Sapho" portraying as they do
the life Of an immoral woman on the
stage, but that large number Of the peo-
pie, including many ladies. had their ap-
pstities sharpensd up for just such pro-
duction was evidenced last evening ct the
Portland theatre. The house was packed,
ami many were turned away. We can
hardly recall an occasion when there were
90 many standses and on the street the
play seemed to be the chief topic Of con-
vsrsation In osrtain theatrical centres.

The cotton gin is not In operation at the
