The MUsEUM.-There was very large audi
ence at the Museum last night on the occasion
of the production of Othelle. 1t was an un-
usually noticeable entertainment because of the
appearance of Messrs. Robinson and Little and
Miss Stuart Lee.
Mr., Robinson has face and figure well
adapted to the part of the stately Moor. In
the first two acts he did not make a marked
impression, but in the third act he displayed
great fire and force, and kept his audience with
him during the remainder of the play. For
obvious reasons the character is difficult to
assume, and does not at once take hold upon
either the sympathy or admiration of the
spectator The actor representing it slalways
liable to the charge of exaggeration, the critic
forgetting the hot tropical blood that runs in
Othello's veins Mr.. Robinson is peculiarly
and perhaps not unjustly liable to this charge,
belonging as he does to that physical SCHOOL,
of actors of which Forrest has been the most
illustrious exemplar. He has q bad voice,
which is point against him.
Mr.. Little's Iago was surprise to the audi
ence. 1t was an exceptionally fine piece of
acting, the character Of the willy Italian being
Understandings studied and carefully played
1t was one of the most admirable and finished
impersonations which have yet been given at
the Museum. Its singular freedom from rant
or extravaganza, or even the deepening of
shadows and frightening of lights which is
supposed to be necessary to high tragedy, and
its eminent naturaness, are worthy of very
high commentator. The make up was ex-
celent, and Mr. Little looked every inch the
treacherous Venetian Ancient. The Museum
is to be congratulated upon having secured him
as leading man.
Miss Stuart Lee was good Desdemona. She
thoroughly understood the ''business" Of her
part, and was graceful in every movement and
and gesture Her pronunciation and emphasis
were also good, but her voice was not strong
enough for the part. The part could have been
as we'll taken by some of the accomplished
ladies of the stock company.
Miss Isadora Cameron did wonderfully we'll
as Emelia, and exhibited depth of pathos
and an intensity of scorn in the fifth act, where
she laments over Desdemona and upbraids the
Moor and Iago, that surpassed anything she
has vet done. Each capability Of the part was
made the most Of The other characters were
we'll taken.
This evening "Still Waters Run Deep will
be presented.

ARMY AND NAVY CoURsE.-We know all
our music loving readers will regret that the
last concert of this popular course comes Off on
Thursday evening. On account of sickness
there has been change in the list of artists
who were to appear in this concert, but those
who take their places are quite as good. Miss
Clara Il. Nickels has won good name anon
our American sopranos. She has been singing
the present season in Redpath' opera compa-
ny. Mrs Barry is always favorite here. MIR.
Gates is the leading tenor in the Adeiphi
Quartette Club of Boston, and is said to have
fine voice. Mr. Arnold has made host OF adj
mirers in our city, and everywhere that he has
sung and all will be glad to hear him in con-
cert.
la addition to these the committee have en-
gagged the wonderful child violinist, Miss Lii
liam Chandler, who has been creating furore
in Boston this winter.
The concert will be under the direction of Mr..
Kotzschmar, which is equivalent to saying that
it will be first class in every respect. To those
who are not fortunate enough to be season tick
ct holders, we would say, get your evening tick
cts at once.

DIR. Hebbard's Lectures.

DR., Hebbard, an accomplished medical man
and experienced lecturer, well known to the
Portland public, will open new course of lee
lures on Monday evening at Congress Hall.
His advertisement will be found in another COL
umn, and sets forth in detail the character and
purpose of the course of lectures which the
Doctor proposes to give. AS there are few or
no subjects of greater earthly interest to the
individual than his bodily health, SO also there
are few subjects about which the popular
knowledge is SO little as that of the means by
which physical health can be conserved and
promoted. This ignorance is due to the fact
that so little is known by non-professional per-
sons about their own physical organizations and
the natural laws governing them. Therefore
it is that whatever is calculated to replace this
want of knowledge with practical and easily
comprehended information is to be welcomed !;
and such we have no doubt is the course adver-
tised by Doctor Hebbard.
The Doctor comes to Portland with the en-
dorsement of the clergy, physicians, and other
classes of Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Provi-
dence, Worcester. Springfield, Montreal, ST.
John, Halifax and other places, as well as by
some of Americas most prominent men, and
he leading government off cials of Canada.
These lectures, as we understand, are not
simply dry science delivered in dull, prosy
style, nor are they instructive only, but design
ed for the masses of the American people; they
are-besides delineating clearly and beautifully
the natural condition of each function in health
and pointing out the causes, prevention and
cure of each disease to which human flesh is
heir-full of anecdotes, stories, flashes of wit
and fun. The papers all agree in saying that
they are the most amusing and entertaining
lectures ever given, that to hear the Doctor
once, in his earnest oratory, splendid scholar
ship and nexhaustbe fund of humor, is q
sure guaranty that you will hear him every
time.
