UNpERwoop sPRING.


Some of our musical people make it q
point to hear the Fadettes at least once
week and they watch for the pro-
grammes with interest, as in this way
they are enabled to hear the selections
they most prefer. For this afternoon and
evening, as well as tomorrow afternoon
and evening, the programme win be as
follows:
March-On Duty, Rosey
(lirst time)
Overture-Maid ana Minstrel,
Gruenwald
Descriptive-Th Vision, Won Blon
A youth falls asleep and dreams Of his
lost.love ;she seems.to approach him, and
he hears the strain OF the waltz; he
joins her in the dance, but as the music
grows fainter the Vision fades away,
until he suddenly awakes to find it al
a dream.
Selection from The Gondoliers, Sullivan
(a) An Innocent Young Maid, Levy
(b) Ole Kentuck, Schmulh
(Cake walk
The Rosey march is new, and the scors
has just been received from New York.
The Vision win be beautiful thing,
and viii please the popular as well as the
musical taste. An Innocent Young Maid
is the song in which the Roger Brothers

at the Boston Museum. The concerts

No play produced at McCunum's thea
TIRE in several seasons is so fun of dra.
matte incident and scenes Of such absorb
ing interest as ''The English Rose the
beautiful drama of Irish peasant life
50 gorgeously staged ana admirably pre-
sented this week in every part. The
climaxes at the end of every act are
strong and effective and are wrought out
In the most skillfuI and natural manner.
1t would be difficult indeed to conceive
Of more interesting or dramatic stu
alton than that of the third act, when
Harry O'Mailley is accused and carried
away to prison for the murder of Sir
Philip Kingston.
- RIvERTON PARK.
1t would be difficult to imagine what
could be more enjoyable these warm af-
ternoons and nights than to go to River
ton Park and there, amidst the shade and
quiet of the pines enjoy the exquisite
music of the Matus Royal Hungarian
orchestra, whose programme contains
variety OF musical selections that is cal
culated to delight all classes and then
to enjoy the great old-fashioned minstrel
performances given by j. w. German s
Imperial Minsuels that are the attrac-
ton for this week only. Among the II
performers with this dne company is
the famous old minstr Frank K. Nc
Nish, and the way he tells his stories,
sings his songs, and performs the feats
Of his original ''silence and fun act,
5akes many of the old people in the audi
snce back to the time when Frank Nc
Nish was one of the most popular and
famous emu men in the country.
THE GEM.
The best production that Portland will
Zee in long time is presented this week
It the Gem theatre. A Stranger in
Strange Land, has met with one Of the
reatest artistic successes ever known at
he Gem theatre and the performance
side from it's novelty contains any
mount Of extraordinary interest that is /
ound to attract the attention of those

ieorge Osborne gives wonderful per-
ormance of Tam-Mo-Nee, the real
indian, and the lovers OF the artistic and

ae cleverest performances seen at the
EN- theatre in a long time
