CYMBELINE.
Miss Margaret Mather's much and just
~ talked of production of "Cymbeline,
is to be given it's first presentation here
at The Jefferson theatre next Tuesday
and Wednesday, Decembe 2s and 80, and
there is every indication that this dis
tinguished actress will repeat here the
triunphs she has been scoring in other
cities. Her production of "Cymbeline"
is one Of the most elaborate Shakesperian
reviyals the stage has ever seen, as is
shown by the fact that it includes as
many as IS scenes. The costumes, too,
are very beautiful and the closest atten-
tion has been paid to historical accuracy.
1t is to be presented with the same cast
and all accessories an when first pro-
duced in New York. The prices, which
are to be the regular house prices, will
be from ESQ to 81. Tickets ON sale next
Saturday at O'Clock.

FANNY DAVENPORT.

The engagement of the famous actress,
Fanny Davenport in the two plays which
she has rendered immortal, Fedora and
La Tosca, is an event in the Portland
theatrical world that is not to be sighted
Miss Davenport will appear in Fedora to-
night, Christmas afternoon and evening
she presents La Tosca. That The .Jeffer-
son will bs crowded to. the doors ought to
go without saying. Good seats may yet
be had, but they should be applied for at

actress, that there are still good seats
that can be procured at the box Office for
tonight, Christmas matinee and Christ
