cohfcSly performance UndU she Is not
obliged to take from 10 to 10 encores.
One OF the secrets of Miss Gilroy's great
success Is that she is an inventor of
novelties, which com bined with natural
magnetism makes of her a mosJ charm
Ing little Miss. 1t was she who first in
troduced the idea of having her songs
taken up by the audience. 1t was she
who first employed the services OF a boy
to repeat each verse OF her songs from
different parts of the theatre and now
she comes with the catchiest little novel
ty OF all. The sale OF seats opens this
morning for the coming production OF
that much talked of Very Little Faust -
and the indications are that it will be
greeted by crowded houses during it's run
of three nights and Saturday matinee at
the Jefferson opening on Thursday eve-
ming OF this week.
UNDERWOOD SPRING.
The Fadettes gave new programme
yesterday, as follows:
March-Bride Elect, Sousa
Gems from the Spanish opera Jacinta,
(First time)
Waitzes-La BarcoIle, Waldteufel
Echoes from the Grand Operas,
(From lie prophetic, Aida, Cavalleria,
Rusticana, BoabdiI, Tannhauser,
Niebelungen Lied. I'Palgiaoci, William
The Rainbow Dance, Rosenberg
Neapolitan IaranUella, Bendix
First time)
This was an admirable programme,
nd it was admirably rendered. The Sc
Iections from the opera "Jacinta'' and
the Neapolitan Tarentella were heard
here for the first time, being entirely
new. The Bride Elect march and the
Rainbow dance ave not been played by
the Fadetbes be fore this season. The
same music win be given again today,
b 9th afternoon and evening. The Cor
man Polite vaudeville proved to be all
that had been expected. The dog "Chi-
eagoi was introduced by Signor Macceo
with fine success. The animal is GER
ta1nly one OF the most Intelligent and
accomplished that we have ever seen in
Portland. He speaks the word "mam
MAJ in distinct tone. Miss Russell,
the soprano, and Bert Davis, the charact-
er comedian, were both acceptable and
held the interested attention of the large
audiences. They viii be seen here all
the week.
THE COMING MUSIC FESTIVAL
Mr.. William r. Chapman, the di rector
OF the Maine Music Festivals passed
through Portland ON Monday on his
way to New Hampshire and Vermont.
Mr.. Chapman, when seen by a PRESS
correspondent said: Eyes, all the great
stars for the Festival viii surely be on
hand in October. Mime. BIauyelt and her
husband, Mr.. Pendleton of New York,
arrived in this country several weeks ago,
and are resting in the AdiTondaeks; Nine
Schumann-Heink sails in September
and so does Ffrangeon Davies. 1 heard
from Richard Burmeis ter last week. and
he is taking his vacation among the Swiss
Alps, but VIII sail the last Of September.
Campanari did not go abroad this year
but is taking his vacation down on the
Jersey coast near Long Branch, and is IN
fine voice and spirits.
Il shall be in Portland next Monday
to begin my rehearsals. Several new
choruses have been organized this year,
and as they have all been doing fine
work, the Festival chorus win be larger
and better than ever. I intend to give
several orchestral and choral novelties
that never have been heard in Maine
Then we shall have this year star at
every performance, and the Festival viii
certainly be greater than ever before.
