THEArRE.-Mr. Jarrett opens his week here
with the Boston Theatre Company, Monday
night, by the production Of Othello, with such
a cast as Portland has never before witnessed.
From present appearances we judge he will
have full houses every night. The class OF
plays selected are such as will meet the popu-
lar favor. Tuesday night he will bring Tor
ward the beautiful play of g Still waters run
deep"
We hope the experiment of Mr.. Jarrett will
be SO successful that he may be Induced to re-
main in our city with his company for long
er period. But that win depend entirely, in
all probability, upon our citizens themselves.
If they wish to have first class playing, they
must patronize literally Mr.. Jarrett's COM
pany.
