Bennett and Moulton.
II any doubts existed in any ones
mind as to the popularity of the Ben
nett-0ioulton company, they woula nave
been quickly dispelled yesterday when,
in the teeth Of that terrible storm, a
very good audience assembled at FORT
land theatre and enjoyed "All the Com
forts of Home,' and in the evening
laughed until they cried over Mcken-
mas Filtration. The panoramoeraph
ia sort of yitasoope on large scaie) gave
a great deal of pleasure with the realls-
tIo views offered. These views will be
exhibited each of the remaining days
of fire company's engagement. AT the
matinee today the "Bellemere Case"
will be repeated and in the evening The

Fast Mail,
The scene of Niagara Falls in the last
act of tsThe Fast MAIL" is one of the
best pieces of mechanical ingenuity pre-
sented upon the stage of any theatre.

Fast Nail, - and with such gratifying re-
suits as to be pronounced perfect by the
thousands who have seen and compared
Ii to Americans wonderful natural water
fall. "The Fast Mail' will be seen at
Portland Theatre Monday and Tuesday

Sir Charles Young's famous play Of
sJim, the Penman," which will be seen
at Portland Theatre on Wednesday and

pecially from the fact that the character
of Robert Kalsson-Jim the Penman--
will be taken by frank G. Bangs, one of
the finest Of the old school actors Of the
stage. Mr. Bangs was in that wonderful
cast of Julius Caesar" given at Port

Bangs had the parts of Cassius, BruUus
and Anthony. Mr.. Bangs is almost
sixty-fve years of age, aid vet he sur
