HERMANN's VAUDEVILLE TROUPE.
There was large advance sale of seats
yesterday for the performance to be given
Saturday night, at Portland Theatre. The
New York Morning Journal says:
1t would be too long to detail the merits
OF several extraordinary good features, but
1t may be mentioned that Carrie Tuten, the
Athols. clown named Herr Tholen, who
has singing dog, and whose electric light
effects are novel; pretty and very neat
dancer named Katie Seymour, and even bet
ter still. the Taechi Brothers., quite origi-
nal pair OF musicians, one of whom has
true tenor voice and the other basso pro-
fundO of exceptional power, were excellent.
The four Gaiety dancers were only mildly
applauded, for we are getting a trifle too
of the whole entertainment that will make
1t endure longest, is Trewey, man to whom
nothing that manipulation can do would
seem impossible. ae is the original of
many of the tricks we are familiar WITH but
which he works with a dextrrity unsur-
passed by any. one we have seen. The Pin
auds, fantastic pantomimists, brought a
show to conclusion that has had no equal
so far in this country.
