Of the operetta will be promptly recog-
nized and extolled. Mr.. Seabrook Will pe
at the Portland Theatre next Saturday,
presenting this famous piece for the hrst
time in this city.
The reputation made by this piece the
past two seasons is sufficient guarantee
for an evening of unexampled merrl-
ment and enjoyment. Mr.. SeaorooK
has one Of the largest companies travell-
ing for his support and, in addition to
large chorus, carries an extra allet,
something done by no other comic opera
company. Among the seventy odd
people in the organization. none stand
out more prominently tLan the charming
prima donna soubrette. Miss Elvia Crox.
Injured Innocents.
There were about fifty people stand
ing in line ON Casco street at late hour
last evening, and it was evident that
good supply of hot beef tea and frank
furters would be needed to keep them
braced up until I a. m. today, when the
numbers are to be given out to be ex-
changed for tickets later. The town is
awakened and three splendid audiences
are assured for the performances of
''Injured Innocents," to be given by the
Athletic Club, February s, 8 and 10. But
while there will be an active demand for
tickets this morning, those who apply
early will get good seats, as there are
three performances instead of one. Sev-
eral of the features of the show will be
funnier than anything ever seen on the
boards in Portland, and the merriment
created will be worth the price of a
ticket twice over
Faust.
Mr.. Lewis Morrison will appear in the
special production of Faust" in Port
and Theatre February 5th and 9th.
When the play was brought out here
before Mr.. Morrison was sick in Boston,
and his part was taken by a substitute.
Now Mr.. Morrison will be able to appear
himself. In mis- support will be Florence
Roberts as Marguerite, and Edward
Elsner as Faust. Mr.. Morrison. assumes
the role Of Mephistopheles. The Scenic
effects are pronounced to be of the best
and the wonderful Broken scene will
be presented with real lightning. Tick
cts are now ready.

"Adonisn to Portland in a few days.
Boston has taken to Henry E. Dixey and
laAdonis" as much sa ever it did, for
| crowded houses are maintained at the
Park Theatre all the time. Dixey at the
| head of Rice's burlesque company is at
| his best and never was more graceful or
| gave so amusing an entertainment as he
1 does in the new "Adonis." His imper
sonations of Irving and Paderewski are
being talked of everywhere. and every
new feature introduced into the perform--
ance is as well received as any of the old
ones, the best of which are still retained.
Notes.
Mr. John. L. Shaw gave delightful
concert last evening at his residence, cor
ner of Cumberland and Myrtle streets,
for the benefit of the Samaritan Associa-
ton. The object was a most worthy one
and fine musical treat was enjoyed.
