MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE CRITERION COMPANY.

THE CRITERION COMPANY.
1t has been the fate of all the really excel
lent dramatic companies which have appeared
in Portland this season to be greeted by small
audiences, and the Criterion Comedy. Company
was not exempt last night from the destiny of
its predecessors. The company is composed of
actors of experience, is exceedingly well
balanced, and the representation of "Our
Boys" was finished and artistic effort. Mr.
Mackay's Perkyn Middlewick the old butter
man. was more satisfactory to us than that of
George Honey, the original representative of
the character in this country, because, while
Mr.. Mackay's impersonation possessed all the
best features of Mr.. Honey's, it did not at any
time become caricature. We never expect
to see as perfect a Talbot Champneys as Mr.
Owen Marlowe's, but nevertheless Mr. Hop
pers was the nearest approach to it yet, and
admirable Mr.. Egbert was very good Sir
Godfrey, and Mr. Roberts should be COM
mended for his Charles Middlewick Miss
Sylvester was an amusing Mary Melrose
although she cannot refrain from some of the
old burlesque ways that she acquired in that
line of business. Miss Pierce was pleasing
Violet and Miss Gardiner an excellent
play, and the admirable acting, carried the
audience, and the curtain was raised at the
close of each act.
Tonight Freaks will be performed an d
we urge all who would like to see we'll acted
play to be sure and attend.
PINAFORE.
This afternoon the Laurent-C orelli troupe
will re-appear at City Hall and present Trial
by Jury and Pinafore, which they will repeat
in the evening All who have not seen these
operas, so well performed by this company
should avail themselves of the present OPP
portunity. Miss Claire will make her first APP
pearance in this city on this occasion in Butter
cup.
AMATEUR THEATRICALS.
"Our Boys will be given by the amateurs
connected with the Thursday Night Club at
Rossini Hall this evening, for a well-known
benevolent object. In addition to the play
Haydns Kinder Symphony, and Romberg's
Kinder Symphony will be offered and Miss
Dodwell will sing. There will be q brilliant
