Tomorrow nighu Mr.. Mantell, the we'll
known actor will dresent "Face in the
Moonlight at Portland theatre This
new play, written expressly for Mantell,
tells this story:
The scene of the play is laid in France, en-
bracing the period which interviewed DetMSen
the escape of the Emperor Nepoleon from E snos
and his defeat at Waterloo Rabat, q conylcted
felon and Louis Munier, proscriDed Bona
partist, accidentally fall into each others com
pany The former, to shield himself from the
Lucille, who is ON her way to Paris to meet her
betrothed, Capt. Victor Ambrose, IS an eye
witness to the deed and the extraordinary Ike
ness of Rabat to her lover causes her to belleve
that it is Victor who committed the terrible
crime. However, she marries him, though she
cannot help showing certain horror t o. d da
cover the cause OF this strange conduct on her
part when he is hastily summoned to his regi-
ment in the Royast Army Upon the res TO
General, and in that capacity he causes the
arrest of both Victor and Rabat. Both are SEN
fenced to be shot Rabat forestails lustiice p ~
the murder of Baudet which exonerateS Victor.
The likeness of the two men is accounted for.
and the c1 prougn aboat by se b
bons to the throne and gives liberty and happl-
ness to Victor.
A Nutmeg Match.
If the character of the people who go
to make up travelling theatrical COM
pany, together with the character of it's
managers, count for anything, or furnish
fair criterion by which to judge of a
new play, then GA Nutmeg Match
ought to receive warm greeting here
by amusement seekers. Annie Lewis is
herself a strong card and she is supported
by first class actors and actresses taken
from the best companies in New York.
She will be seen at Portland theatre Fri
day and Saturday.

A Trip to the Moon.
Those singularly effective spectacles,
"a Trip to the Moon'' and "From Chaos
to Man," combine in an indescribable
and delightful manner all that is most
interesting and attractive in the highest
class of illustrated lectures, with the
beauty and perfection of the highest art.
Electricity has never shown itself more
obedient and more woodworking SER
want of men than in its application to
these novel "Urania'' entertainments.
"a Trip to the Moon will open the
Stockbridge regular course, Oct. Goth.
