The MusEUM.-Unless the taste of Portland
audiences has changed, bulls ard Bears VIII
have a long run. This is not meant as COM
pliment to Portlanders, for the play has MOTH
ing about it that can command long life or
more than ephemeral success; bat it is vastly
amusing, abounds in ludicrous situations, rat
Ting if not witty dialogue, and highly exag-
gerated characterzations. 1t is well suited to
the Museum company, and they do much bet
ter with it than they might considering the
short time they have for study. with more pre-
tentious or meritorous pieces. The play is,
strictly speaking long farce, as Saratoga"
IS, and like that depends upon burlesque OF
character, absurdity of situation. use of the
follies and manias of the day, slangy text, and
rapidity of movement for effect. Any amount
of fault might be found with it did one choose
to regard it seriously; but the spectator wonld
as soon think of complaining of the absurdity
of "Betsey Baker," or BOX and Cox" Iii
of close kinship to "The Big Bonanza" and
that is equivalent to saying that it furnishes
very pleasant evenings entertainment, and
keeps an audience on the laugh from the rising
to the going down of the curtain. 1t will GER
tainly be one of the most popular plays which
has been brought out at the Museum this sea-
son, and cannot well fail to draw much larger
houses than any piece produced of late.
The characters are nearly all exaggerated be.
yond probability, and are all very amusing
In George Pitman," who is Enthusiastically
Zone of the boys" Mr. Wheelock finds oppor-
tunity for mo marked display of his peculiar
talent, but succeeds in bringing out and max
ing evident all the humorous possibilities of the
impersonation. His agonies with tight boots
struck a responsive chord in the breast of every
man present, and his California adventure APP
pealed to the sympathies Of not few. The
Professor Lexington" of Mr.. Curtis was
mirth-provoking representation, absurd IN the
highest degree yet consistent throughout and
in many particulars good study from the life.
Mr.. Calder was excellent as the banker, Mr..
Bascomb was capital as the fop, Mr. Adams
made good "Uncle Langdon," and Mr.. u
mer was amusing as the bookseller. Miss Cam

Tomorrow morning the sale of seats for Mrs.
Cameron's benefit opens. No more than ten
tickets will be sold to any one person. 1t is I'M
necessary to bespeak full house, for Miss
Cameron is great favorite, and her friends
will pack the Museum.
