Never has a play given more universal sail-faction to a Music hall audience than Tha American Girl, put on Thursday evening by one of A. Soammoo's companies.

It was finely equipped MB to'out, mountings and so coseories, it is to, the discredit of Portsmouth theatre-goers that inch a sterling attraction was not accorded more liberal patronage. This clever comedy-drama by H. Grattan Donnelly introduces as its leading figure, Mr. George Hall, whose reputation as one of the most finished and versatile comedians making Ameri can circuits today, has pervaded the whole country. As a charming vis-a-vis to Mr.

Hall, Mr. Scammoa was thoughtful enough to supply Miss Frankie 8t John. The support includes: Harry Hammill, J. 0. Vernon.

Frederick E. Mortimer, G. Frank Weatherley, Frank Wilbon, Miss Jewell Darrell, Miss Marie Taylor. VHss rorotny La'Mar, Mrs. Haui-iiouil the child artistes, Lilh--' Liiwtoa and Gracie Hickey.

The latter pair are clearly the most taking uvemlos ever seen on the Music hall stage. They imbue the four acts of the play with a rare charm. The American Girl, unlike a majority of the present day comedies, possesses a well-defined plot, which has even serious element. It is from the pen of a playwright who has never turned forth a mistake for stage j.resentation. It is no wonder that Mr.

Scammon is besieged with applications from play houses all over the country for a return date for The American Girl. The at traction is a winner through hones' merit. MANY WEBB TURNED AWAY Mayor Gakin Page is in Boston today on basineiup. Dr. James U.

In regard to the proposed match be- twean '-Smiley" Hrnden and Billy Glitch of Biddeford, which, it was said a short time ago, would be pulled off in Biddeford, the Biddeford Journal of tho 7th inat, says: "It may be that Oritch aud Smiley Harndou may conic together, but it not this city. City Marshal Ilarmou has put his foot ou sparritig contests iu this city, the fakes that uave been perpetrated on the sporting public this season having determined him to prohibit sparring exhibitions." An audience that 61lod tho opera house to the doors greeted Jessie liar court and her company last evening, a the opening of their week's ongagemen here.

Every iu, the big hall wa occupied and the standing room in tb rear was packed with men and boy who remained aud enjoyed tho whoi performance in spite ot the discomforts of their positions. Before eight o'clock all feats were sold and Manager Sutherland was compiled to do Homothing that has rarelv happened in Biddeford, put up the B. sign aud turn people who asked for chairs away from tbe doorp. Tbe show well deserved this good patronage, for tho company is one of the most capable organizations that has appeared here in repertoire. As a whole the show, including play and specialties, gave general satibfaction, and won a degree of popular favor that will ensure good houses for the retraining perform UUCCH of tho week.

"The Captain's Mate," a stirring drama of romantic interest, was the piece last night. It was well staged with Bpecial scenery and ably present ed, Miss Harcourt sustaining the leading part with grace and cleverness. Her work at critical points of the drama showed unusual talent and the audience frequently favored her with apprecia live applause. She was given capable and meritorious support by Chailes K. Harris in tbe lole of the hero, "Tbe Captain." Harry Fielding in an Irish character role created no end of amusement and his songs caught the crowd The other parts were well taken also with no very serious defect.

For the bpecialties the moving pictures were received with most favor, though all were pleasing enough. The picture machine is the most efficient piece of mechanism of that kind that has yet been operated here and as the subjects were mainly new to the specta tors, they were received with enthusiasm. The "Battle of San Juan" was one of the good ones which excited the patriotic fervor of the crowd while cue entitled "Troubles of His Own" roused greet hilarity. The pictures will be shown all the week, new views beiug given from time to time. Good music was rendered by the or- importance when the drew right.

The matter of laying out the iiew streets the Elwyu field on Richards avenue was brought up and discussed at length The feeling of the board was against accepting or laying out the streets north of Bocklaud street, as the land there is low and boggy and it would cost considerable to grade.
