MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Baker Opera Company.

bakef opera COHipdHy.
The Halifax Chronicle thus speaks of
the Baker Opera Company in "Boccac-
cio'' in that city:
The splendid audience which greeted
the Baker Opera Company on the open
ing of their sixth week must have made
glad the heart of the manager. Only
the excellency of the company and the
uniform attractiVeness of their perfor-
mances could have attracted the large
audiences who have thronged the Aca-
denny of Music night after night for the
past five weeks. No company has been
so generally approved and so long since
the first opera was seen on the Academy
boards
The company will open in "Said
Pasha'' at Portland theatre at the Christ
mas matinee Monday next, and give
''Boccaccio'' the same evening. Tickets
are now ready.
The next entertainment in the Stock
bridge course will be one of the most
delightful offered here this winter. Mr..
Riddle. the celebrated reciter and we'll
known actor, will recite Faust while
the music will be rendered by the well
known philharmonic Orchestra of Bos-
ton, twenty-five musicians, with Mr..
Listeman, the violin virtuoso, and Mr.
Giese, the celebrated 'cellist, as soloists.
And He's Right, Too.
The manager of Portland theatre in a
recent conversation gave vent to his in
dignation, at what he terms ''the neck
of the fy-by-night theatrical snaps which
try to secure time at his house, and he
said mo more for me, I'm tired; I'll
know they're right or they don't get in;
this town is good enough for the best

fractions booked, some above the aver
