The Eair Entertainment.

1t is doubtful if people generally understand
what pleasant entertainment is offered them
at Music Hall this evening. The pantomimes
entire novelties in Portland. He has given
them with great success in nearly all our large
cities, and they have met with the warm ap.
proval of people of taste. The Subjects which
have already been mentioned are certainly at
tractive, and will be doubly so personated by
some of the most charming ladies of the city.
There will be display of rich and splendid
costumes of many centuries and different peo-
Piles, and the groupings are very fine. The
pantommes are full of fun and merriment and
give opportunity for those ridiculous situations
which we all like to see and hate to be caught
in. The entertainment differs widely from
tabeaux or from the drama, though it COM
bines many of tho most attractive features of
each. Those who attend are sure of passing a
highly agreeable evening and of witnessing
something quite novel in the amusement line.
We are glad to learn that there is every pros
pect of good house. Tickets are selling WELL
but there is yet room for many more spectators
The gallery, which contains what are in certain
respects the best seats in the house, is not yet
taken up. With an audience like that which
will be seen in Music Hall tonight there Ger
tainly can be no objection to occupying seats in
the gallery, especially as these seats command
the best view of the stage and the perform
ers.
1t should be borne 10 mind that the enter
tainpent is in aid of the noblest charity of
which our state can boast, the Maine General
Hospital. The people of Portland have never
yet failed tn respond to calls for aid in this d.
rection, and they certainly should not fail now.
Amusement, too, in this case is so closely
blended with charity that the outlay viii be
slightly taken into account.
