Tonight and Thursday night the Howard
Atheneum great specially company will ap-
pear at Portland Theater The Boston Her
aid says: No finer troupe of acrobats than
the Cinquevallis has ever been on this side
of the Atlantic, while as a jlggler and equil-
ibrist there is no more remarkable artist
living than Paul Cinqueyalli. His feats in
his particular line, as well as the collective
work of himself and associates, are simply
phenomenal, A bright particular star of
this organization is the terpschorean fairy,
Miss Ida Heath. the Australian wonder,
danseuse and tightening change artist, who
danced herself Immediately into the hearts
Of her first American audience. Miss Lydia
Yeamans, who has been capturing English
audiences for the past three years, celebrat-
sa her return by similar conquest here.
She has soprano of wonderful compass,
sweetness and power, while her expression
and marked dramatic intuition give an es-
pecial charm to her selections. Harry Ken
nedy's ventriloquial powers need no praise
at this late late day; equally true is it that
no comment on their abilities in their respec-
tive lines, which have long since won recog-
milton. The Poluski Brothers are very clever
Knock-about artists and provokers of mer
riment. Messrs. Tennyson and German, the
Irish gents" are an excellent team, while
the concluding part of the programme,
which is filed out by the Carle- Carmenellf
troupe of musical knife-grinders is an
amusing and taking feature"
