Despite the heavy storm an excellent audience turned out at the Portland theatre to greet Alma Chester, always a popular favorite with our theatregoers, and her company, which Is without donbt one of the strongest popular prloed attractions that plays this city. An English melodrama, entitled “Hood man Blind," was the play presented, and the same was exceedingly well presented both In staging and acting. Miss Ches ter was seen In a dual role of two sisters, Nance Youlett and Jess Lendon, and gave a most llnlshed protrayal of the parts, especially the former whloh allowed her an excellent scope for some llnlshed aotlng. The support througb ont was very strong, the acting ot Mr. Irving Whlt9 being very conspicuous. His conception of Jack Yewlett, was both forolble and manly. The special ties, which oonslited of tbe Ladell fami ly of aorobats, a very clever aot; Dillon and norland, two excellent singers and lanoeis; Fred Woodbury and Will J. Kennedy, a comedian, who Is both a singer and dancer, are all excellent in tbelr resppatlve order, and Miss Chester has a company that does her honor and will no doubt be greetal with an exotl lent week's business which she la surely leservlng of. Ucrmlnle Is the bill ar ranged for the matinee, and The Dia mond Breaker arranged for the evenlDg performance. SEMB1UCH ON EUROPEAN AUDI ENCES. “I have sung before three Czars In Itussla," Mine. Sembrlch said, “and It Ivan oniy a wees oerore no was assassi nated that I sang at a oonoert before Alexander II. lie was In mourning [hen lor the Czarina, and only a few per rons were present, Then 1 sang during :he season while Alexander HI. was •live, and after bis death before the pres nt Czar. Tbe Kutalans are tremendous ly enthuslastlo over their favorites and with them the older operas are more popu lar than In almost any oountry but Italy. With a oountry so cold It Is astonishing io Had the jroonle so warm In thslr feel ings and admirations. They are nearly ts enthuslastlo In Spain, altbough a little less discriminating. But of all mdlenoes there are none so gratifying •s.thoee of Paris to an artist.; There one ian feel the sympathy of the listeners lor everything that Is well done." KOT1B8. Louise Meissllnger's suooess to leading rontralto roles with the Metropolitan feingltsh UruDd Opera Company has oo jasioned surprise aud oomment, as It vus generally supposed that she had •ever previously appeared In Kngllsh ipera As a matter of fact Miss MeUslln rer has not only sung at Covent Harden luring the itngllsh seasons there, but n addition was seleoted by Sir Augustus Harris to oreate In America the role of be Wttoh In “Hansel and Uretel," In vliloh she appeared In the leading oltles 3t this oountry. The revival of “II Trovatore" at the detrupolltan Opera House on Wednesday light was leat opn»ui«rable Interest by hs first appearance of Mis* Suwokeeh as ■ Leonore, a role newly added to ber reper toire. Tbe management In the pursuance of this prlloy to lend novelty to recurrent presentations of favorite works will this wetk Introduce, In the revival of ‘‘Caval lorla lfustlcana, ’ whlub Is to bo present ed In conjunction wltb “H. M. b. 1‘ina fore.’’ Mr. Brozel as Tnrlddn and Miss Fanchon Thompson as Lola, roles in wbloh they have not previously appeared in this country. A simple statement that Mrs. Flske would this season produce a now play from tbe Uerman has led to mtaapprehen ston In some qutrters. Last winter Mrs Flske seoured.tbe Amerloan rights to a new Uerman play that was notably suc cessful In Berlin. According to tbe terms of ber oontruct wltb tbe author of this play, Mrs. Flske must make a pro duction of It this season, this neoseslty being the result of the usual business ar rangement made between author and actor In such cases for the protection of both parties. It was not Mrs. Flskes’ In tention at any time to use the Uermtn play as a vehlole this season, as all ber plans^had been made to oontlnne In " lieoky bharp," which Is enjoying at great a vogue as that of last season, In aooordanoe with her contract as to the Uerman play Mrs. Flske will make a production of that play during the last week of her engagement In Chicago, hut It will not bz used elsewhere this season. No title has yet been selected for the American version ot the new play, wbloh has been made by Miss Alloe Brown ot Boston.

Commenting on the recent game be tween Portland High school and West brook Ulgb school, the Westbrook Chroni cle said: " 1'here Is no denying the fact that Westbrook oxpectad to hold the Portlands down to a score of DO, und this couUdenos probably bad much to do with the poor showing. The team's greats t fault all reason, has bten its failure to praotlee and pront by aavlos of the few who were willing to pat In a little time and teach tbe hoys a few points about tbe game. That they have done so well Is surprising, but It only proves that though light, tbe material Is good and that with praotlee even a better showing might have been made."
