Mr.. BooTH's MACBErH.-A few good seats
for the play tonight can possibly be obtained if
applied for early this merning. By noon yes
terday large majority of the places in the
parquette were taken, The success of Mr..
Booth in Portland has been unparalleled
in the history of the drama, and the
tragedian himself is much gratified at the great
number of friends whom he has enrolled here.
Tomorrow night he appears in new role, one
of Shakspeare's great characters, the peer of
Hamlet, Othello and Richard in popular favor.
Mr.. Booth will be supported by Miss Charlotte
Champion as Lady Macbeth. This lady is well
known to most of our people, having played
number of engagements in Portland a dozen
years ago. Critics speak in high terms of her
Lady Macbeth. In intelligence of the character
she is SAID to be little behind Miss Charlotte
Cushman, though she wants that lady's magnif-
cent presence, and as an elocutionist she is
confessedly one of the most successful in Amer
ica The management have confidence in her
ability to satisfy the people of Portland, and we
hope the lady will meet with success. The
other leading characters are: Macduff, Mr..
Bangs; and Duncan, James Stark The success
of Mr. Booths closing night in Portland is
already assured. This will be the last oppor-
tunity offered to see Mr. Booth in Portland for
a number of years, as his plans are for other
portions of the country for number of seasons.
