BENNETT & MouLroN.

BENNETT MOULION.
Bennett & Moulton's Company gave very
amusing performance of Robert Macaire"
yesterday afternoon at Portland Theatre to
a fair sized matinee audience. The musical
features of the opera received better treat
ment than on any of the evenings of the
week, especially the choruses. Miss Goldie
as Rosamond, sang the Lullaby" particu-
larly well and Miss Intropidi made a bright,
pleasing Fanchon. Miss George Newell
as Atalie, Miss Sharp as Princess Pompa-
dour, Miss Nellie Russell as Capt. Postille
and Miss Ella Altman as Yooune were all
good. The fun of the opera was intrusted
to Mr.. Wolff as Robert Macaire, Mr.. Lodge
as Jacques Strap and Mr.. Wooley as Gigote,
and they fulfilled their mission most salts
factorily. The piece. as usual, was well cos
tuned.
''Fatinitza" was produced in the evening
to the usual crowded audience. 1t was,
unsteady considered, the best thing the
company has yet done. The first act espec-
tally went with great fire and spirit. In the
second act Mr.. Armand gave very fine rem
derng of my Native Laud." Miss Muir
ply and Miss Goldie gained new laurels re-
spectively as the Princess and Vladimir,
Mr.. Wolff was an excellent General, Mr..
Armand first rate Harding and Mr.. Lodge
very funny as Mustapha.

Twenty Five Thousand Boston Wo
men,

The Rev. j. w. Hamilton of Boston de-
livered lecture entitled "Twenty-Fiye
Thousand Boston Women" In the Pine St.
Methodist Episcopal church last evening,
The lecture was on account of the publ
school agitation which took place in Boston
during the last year, twenty-five thousand
being the number of women which had been
assessed to vote for members of the school
committee.
Mr.. Hamilton gave graphic account of
the administration which had control of the
city previous to the exciting election. The
interest in Boston. he said. was occasioned
by the attack on the public schools. The
women proved their best defense, The long
and persistent effort to secure to woman the
right to vote In defense of Republican insti-
buttons, was traced from its feeble begin
nings to the granting of the privilege In
Massachusetts in the matter of school sur
frage. The interesting incidents given in

to have as complete a line
of the new things and de-
sirable things, the odd and
unique things as soon as
they're to be had anywhere.
Our prices are usually low
