GILBERr's OPERA COMPANY.
The seats are selling well at Stockbridge's

Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee, at
City Hall by this excellent troupe. A Con-
cord, N. H., paper says: "The Mikado was
never so well presented in this city as by the
Gilbert Opera Company last evening. James
Gilbert is one of the best singing comedians
who visits Concord, and his versatility,
earnestness and conscientiousness make his
Ko-Ko a remarkably fine piece OF work.
That he has many warm friends here was
| shown by the greeting given him Cd his first
| appearance: that he added many to the num-
| Der was as plainly shown by the double and
| triple encores which were given nearly
every one of his numbers"
THE WORLD.

Tuesday next, Mr.. j. 2. Little and strong

Little's original version of The World"
| Speaking of this great play the Baltimore
| Sun of Dec. 9th publishes the following
1.-THE interest in this grand old play does
| not deminish with age, but like old wine i'm
| proves for ten years, the sensation OF D. u.
| Little's masterpiece has delighted the lovers
| of spectacular melo drama, which Is popular
| alike among all circles Of society from the
| elite in the boxes to the noisy and ill-man-
nered gallery god"
The seats will be on sale Friday Mr..
Titles performance Of Iago in the old Port
land Theatre on Exchange street, will be
