so many stage marksman are accustomed

Yon Yonson.
The scenery of 'sYon Yonson' is pc
culiar. Usually there are only special
scenes carried along with travelling
company, the local and conventional
scenery of every theatre being depended
upon for general effects. In "Yon Yon-
son. however, the scenes amid which
the plot of the piece is laid are of such
novel description that everything has
to be specially prepared for it, nothing
else fits. 1t pleases the eye to see some
thing fresh, and this part of sYon Yon-
SON. is as fresh as the dialect of the
Scandinavian emigrant and his north
western surroundings. The play will be
seen at Portland theatre Saturday eve
ming.

Pinafore.
+. The production of-this charming opera
Mr.. Montgomery assures us, will surpass
anything given by amateurs, yet seen in
our city. New scenery will be painted
comprising a distinct view of Ports
mouth, England, war ships at anchor
and full rugged ship. The ships firing
salute of guns on the approach of the
admiral, sisters, cousins and aunts, and
the shore and harbor lit by the brilliant
moon in the opening of the second act
will be one of the handsomest features
seen in opera in our city. Nothing will
be spared to make this presentation
eclipse all previous efforts of our home
| talent.
