THE VERY MERRY MARINER.
French's opera troupe of forty ladies and
gentlemen will present this latest New York
success at sPortland Theatre on Friday and
Saturday evenings next, and Saturday mat
inee. The libretto is by Sydney Rosenfeld;
the music that of the German operetta of
"Der See Kadet," or the 'Mldshipman." The
dialogue is much more extensive than the
music, but is said to be very funny. There is
great deal of melodous music, that takes the
popular ear, all of which is we'll interpreted By

Marian Barnard, Eugene Clark, Herbert Ar
cher, w. G. Vandorn and W. G. Shea, sup
ported by large chorus and orchestra under
the baton of Signor Operti. The sale of seats
commences this morning.
RENTZ-sANTLEY.
The Rentz-Santley burlesque troupe will ap-
pear at Music Hall Saturday night. The list
of performers is large, and the sparkling bur-
lesque of "Penns Aunts'' will be produced.
CHANDELIERS BAND.
The concert and dance which will be given
by Chambers Band at City Hall tomorrow
evening should be productive of large pecul.ia
~ results. We have so often cited the claims
the band has upon our citizens for cordial sup
port it seems almost unnecessary to repeat
them here. We will say, however, that they
have always represented, and done much to
uphold, Portland's musical taste and ability
wherever they have been, and have always re-
ceived the heartiest applause, even in the
largest musical centres.
TICKELICK.
The w. c. T. U. in this city is the out
growth of the Woman's Temperance Society
from which so many benevolent enterprises
have originated, as the Coffee House, Diet and
Flower Missions, the Station Mission, and the
Friendly Inn. To the two latter the society is
now devoting itself. At the police station
they employ woman to look after the unfor-
Inmates of their sex, endeavor to find employ
ment and respectable homes, and by every
means in their power care for and try to re-
form them
At the Friendly Inn Incorporate men find
refuge, and every influence for good is exerted,
to awaken some degree of self-respect and
responsibility, and to aid them in finding
work. AS neither of these Missions can be
self-supporting, it is necessary for the society
to make an annual appeal to the public by an
entertainment, which they now do through
Walter Goods new opera of Tickelick This
was written expressly for the society, and is a
burlesque on girls boarding schools full of
harmless satire. Mr.. Goods reputation in
musical circles, and his success as composer,
are ouluClcHt W roCOIuuonu Gn0 opera. line
local pride which we have in him. the fact
that it will be brought out by home talent in
connection with the objects for which it is
given, should insure the generous encourage
ment which these charities deserve.
BLooDGooD's MINsTRELs.
Bloodgood's Minstrels drew large audience
at Music Hall last night and gave good en-
tertainment. Carl Heyer's zone hundred
fathoms deep" was excellent, as was Sutton
characterization Day." and Bloodgood's "My
Baby" Kirwan gave an excellent flute solo
Llston was good in his specialties
At this evenings performance Bloodgood
will discourse on Uncle Rufe's Home. Sutton
will appear in new ballads, Liston in drum So
los, Olson will sing the Blue Alsatian Noun
tain Song, and Tyrrell Daisy Bell.
MINNIE PALMER's BOARDING SCHOOL
There was good audience in attendance at
Portland Theatre last night to witness Minnie
Palmer's company in her Boarding School"
Miss Palmer arrived from New York on the s
o'clock train and consequently the stage had
to wait few moments for her. The piece is
after the style of the Tourists, Troubadours,
Froliques and others OF that class serving as
thread on which to string the specialties of the
troupe. The play itself is thin, the wit
that are we'll sung, especially the "Vica Carr
baldi" by Miss Palmer and Mr.. Scanlon, and
and the choruses are very pretty and sung in
waltz time. The medley, which introduced
"In the morning by the bright light, Babies
in our Block" and other songs, was not so ef
fective as it would have been if it had not re.
Gently been given here by Lolita and Ed. Mar.
BILE. The company embraces seven people
some OF whom were seen here in
the Jewellers. Minnie Palmer presents a
handsome stage appearance, is very pretty
dances gracefully, sings sweetly, dresses ex-
boys in the front seat She is vivacious little
romp. She does some neat German business
in her song, "Der Wasserfall.' William
Scanlon, as Doodle, amuses by his decisive
acting and witty sayings, while his excellent
voice shows to advantage in numerous taking
tain ment is the delightful singing of Mis-
Palmer and himself The other half of the
show comprises the ludicrous efforts of John
1nce, as Prof. limerick, and Emma Jones, as
Samantha Smith. Ince makes quite hi
with the Professor, his ear trumpet and hi
"come again." Samantha likes to please the
boys, who tumble to the "spring bottoms.
George Davenport makes first-rate character
of Simon B umpshell.
The play will be repeated tonight and to
morrow night, and should draw large houses
