tinue their visitations.
mot Bad Judge" passed off well. The
large audience seemed to infuse new lie into
the actors and they entered into their parts
with great spirit. In Matthews very enter
tanning farce ''Cool as Cucumber MIR. Bart
lett improved the opportunity to give taste OF
his quality, and to the huge delight of the au-
dience gave mastery and finished interpre-
tation of the leading role of Plumper. 1t was
like "Reminiscences of Matthews himself. There
was the same rapid yet distinct utterance, and
many of the tricks of action and gesture which
Matthews has made famous. Such finished
impersonation, so spirited and yet SO free from
exaggeration, is rarely seen in Portland Miss
Chippendale, who is excellent in Soubrette
parts, gave an amusing rendition of Virgins.
The same bill will be given at the matinee this
afternoon, when full house may be looked
for.

offered. Mr.. Bartlett appears as Plumper-
part which he has pre-eninently made his
own-in the last presentation of "Cool as a Gu
cumber." Miss Florence Ellis, better known
as Sappho, and great favorite in Portland,
makes her only appearance this season in the
musical comedy "The Lady of Ashton and

provoking speciality "Our GAL"
Next Monday "Caste," play which is sure
to draw, will be put upon the boards, and the
celebrated comedian, Mr.. Belvil Ryan, will
make his bow to Portland audience. The role

Ryan's creation, for he was its first representa-
tive. In Chicago alone he played it for hun
dred nights running, and the Tribune of that
city said, in speaking of the representation,
'Eccles is as complete and perfect piece of
acting in its way as Jefferson's Rip Van Win
kle or Booths Hamlet" He will be support
ed by the accomplished actress Miss Violet
Campbell, favorably remembered by our cit-
zens as here with Mr. John Murray in 1867, by
Mrs. A. P. Grattan, one Of the leading sold
women in the country, and by Messrs. Bartlett
