Lilo 5iOdI SpcCCdCio WHICH ran IOr several
months last year at the Boston Theatre will
be put on the stage of New Portland Theatre
next Friday and Saturday, with, it is promised,
the same wealth of scenic effects, in proper
ton to the size of the theatre, with the grand
ballet and accessories, that marked its produc-
ton at the former place of amusement. The
management announces sixty-four people in
the cast If the Fetes of Valparaiso APP
proach, in any sensible degree, the same
that scene alone will be worth the price of
ticket. We see Bonfanti takes the place of
Cornalba. For this we have regrets, fine
dancer as Bonfanti is known to be. The
fairy, flying dancer Ariel will probably cause
as great sensation here as she did in Boston.
There are many excellent scenic effects pro-
duced in this play, notably the Aurora in the
Arctic regions, and the great avalanche.
The story we all know, or should know
is that of Verne's Children of Capt. Grant"
Capt. Grants vessel was wrecked in the
Arctic regions and the crew deserted him and
his boy. The crew was saved The other
children of Capt. Grant, who remained in
England, induced an English lord to take his
yacht and, with them, go in search of their
father. The mate of the wrecked crew tries
to thwart them, and, after the avrs1ltion
starts, throws all kinds of obstacles in the
way without success. In the end Captain
Grant is rescued. The expedition meet with
all sorts of adventures in Spain, Chill and the
Arctic regions. Of course the spectacular
effects and ballet are the main hold of the
piece. The effect of the colored lights, and
the general illumination of Valparaiso in the
fete scene with the ever changing golden and
silver lights I'm the ballet produces one of the
most superb effects ever seen in this country.
NOTES.
Sothern, the original Lord Dundeary, is
dead at the age of so. His real name was
Dugald Stewart and he first appeared in this
as DIR. Panglass. He made failure, was dis
gusted, dropped the name of Stewart, took
that of Sothern and went to New York. When
a member of Laura Keene's company in 1858,
The American Cousin" was produced. He
character of the play, made a great hit, took
the play to England and made a great hit
there. In Paris he was not successful. His
"Crushed Tragedian," an imitation Of Count
Johannes, was excellent, and played David
Garrick well.
"Around the World in Eighty Days" at the
theatre February 10th, 18th and 18th.
Mr.. c. 81. Smith Saturday rendered his re-
signation as manager of the Academy of Music,
Fall River, position which he lhas success
fully held since the opening of the theatre in
1876. He enters large enterprise soon in
conjunction with the eastern circuit, the en-
tire interests of which he has purchased of the
firm of Thayer, Smith & Moulton.
"Le Voyage en- Suisse in English dress, as
arrangements are in progress for its produc-
ton at the Globe Theatre on Feb 14th. MIR.
