THE STUFFED DOG.

THE STUFFED DOG.
"a Stuffed Dog" which has made great
hit at the Hollis Street Theatre, Boston will
be the attraction at the Portland theatre
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, when
the same clever company will be brought in
its entirely for the engagement.
Said Percy Weadon, III. S. Taylor's. repre-
sentative yesterday: without exaggera-
ton we aave given the piece the strongest
cast ever seen in farce-comedy. Our COM
pany costs as much to carry per week as
Louis James, 'Evangeline,' and other heavy
organization. The principal roles are filled
with such well known artists as John A.
Mackay of Pop and 'Evangeline' fame; j.
w. Herbert, late comedian with the Boston
Ideals; r. A. Roberts, formerly with MINI lie
Palmer; Bertha Foy. Agnes Miller, Vaude-
vile theatre, London, (seen in this country
three years ago with Rosina Vokes) Violet
NEWMAN, also another importation and the
cleverest dancer on the English stage and
the Misses Dixon, Brandon and Fassette,
beautiful girls and excellent singers"
1.-The skit," continued Mr.. Weadon, 1--WE
claim to be more pretentlous in character
than any of the SO called farce comedies now
being presented, in that, it has plot, and
climaxes. The usual musical features seen
In laughter-making entertainment have
been improved, and we think our stock is as
good as light opera. Special scenery marks
the production and the costumes and colored
light effects are as brilliant as burlesoue."
The sale of seats will open Saturday at the
box office. a..
ss. THE sToCKBRIDGE COURSES.
The Stockbridge courses, published In yes.
terday's Press, display the same care and
taste of Mr.. Ira G. Stockbridge that have
marked the character of the entertainments
he has afforded the public for eight years
past. On y-tomorrow-evening, at
City Hall, the choice of seats in each of
these courses will be sold at auction at 7.45
O'Clock. Grimmer's orchestra will while
away the half hour, previous to the sale,
with its choicest music. Arrangements
have been made with the railroads so that
people from adjoining towns can attend the
sale. The plan adopted at the action will be
20 sell, say twenty, regular course tickets,
then ten OF the popular course, and then five
OF the matinee course and then returning to
the sale OF regular course tickets.
