MUSIC AND DRAMA.
pauline Ham Opera company.

Miss Pauline Halls opera company
will appear at Portland Theatre Friday
and Saturday, in her latest success, as
played for IA consecutive weeks IN Bos-
ton, presenting Offenbach's opera CO.
mique MADAME Favart," in three acts.
The management is to be congratulated
upon securing this attraction. The gen
eral excellence whichis always given by
the Pauline Hall opera company can be
expected. Madame Favart is delight
full opera, and Miss Hall is excellently
suited to the vocal and dramatic require
ments of the role. 1t affords her ample
opportunity for displaying her varied
professional abilities. The changes of
costumes which the role demands
make her delineation particularly pleas
ing. The French tone of the opera is
well conveyed. Her company consists
of some of the brightest performers,
among whom are Mr.. AL. c. Whelan as
the Marquis de Pontsable, Mr.. John E.
Brand as Hector de Boispreau, Tom
Ricketts, as Charles Favart, Miss Clara
Livine as Suzanne, and others. The mu-
steal numbers are bright and catchy. The
famous Tic-Tac song, as sung by Miss
Hall over 100 nights in New York, is one
of the pleasant features. This will be
the last opportunity of seeing Miss Hall
for several seasons, as she goes to Har-
rington's Theatre, New York, for run.
This will be Miss Halls first appearance
in Portland, and the company should do
a large business. There will be fifty
people in the organization, and it is
promised that the entire production will
be the same as played in Boston, princi-
pals, chorus. scenery, costumes and all.
Seats should be secured well in advance,
as there is great demand for them.
