NOTABLE OPENING AT CAPE COT
TAGE THEATRE.
No theatrical event has ever occurred in
this city that attracted more attention Or
created more interest than is being mani
tested In the opening of MoCullun,'s
theatre at Cape Cottage, that Is to be
dedicated to summer amusements next
Saturday afternoon and evening June II.
So much speculation was INDUCED in,
earlier in the season, by the amusement
loving public Of this city, who have
grown to look forward with SO much
pleasure to the McCullum seasons at the
island-as to where the genial actor
manager and his excellent company
would be seen this year, that all are now
anxiously waiting to show their apprecia
ton of his past efforts by giving him a
rousing and enthusiastic welcome in his
own new play house.
For an opening attraction Manager Nc
Cullum will present new Cuban war
drama entitled 'The Dawn Of Freedom, I"
and promises production sure to surpass
anything he has ever before attempted in
Portland. The scenes are all laid at San
tiago de Cuba and are wildly descriptive
of incidents in what appeared to be the
hopeless struggle of the Cuban patriots
for liberty. For scenic and mechanical
effects this production may be looked for
ward to with much pleasure as it will no
doubt prove the most deliberately staged
drama ever offered during a summer sea-
son in this city. The advance sale of seats
for the opening performances as well as
the entire week is progressing in man
ner to indicate that the opening will
surpass any similar event in the theatrical
history of Portland. The Importance of
securing seats Immediately is here
brought to the attention Of all who
intend to be present at the opening, for
judging by the sale the past two days the
supply will be far short of the demand.
Round trip tickets with coupon admitting
to the theatre are only twenty cents. the
best reserved seats with coupon being ten
and twenty cents. Patrons are notified
to be sure to get coupons on the cars and
to ask the conductor for them if they are
not offered.
OPERA AT JEFFERSON.
All arrangements have been perfected

ing. A special train will bring the COM
pany with all the scenery, properties. etc.,

The opening on Tuesday will be a
one and a number of well known artists

pearance in New England here. They

where they have appeared to great success
and have drawn crowded houses at very
performance.
The company numbers some sixty
people including grand chorus of forty.
The repertoire for the first week Is ar.
ranged as follows: Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday evenings and Wednesday
matinee, Martha" will be the attrac-
ton. martha is so full of lovely
melody that it will be long before its
popularity will wane. Everywhere it is
pl aged the interest is shown in what
affection this masterpiece of Floton's is
held by the musio-loving masses.
On Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday matinee the company will be
seen ip Auber's triumph ERA Diayolo."
This old favorite will probably receive q
cordial reception. The company will
need no inroduction after the first per-
Torrance as they have won instance sue
oe SIS and popularity wherever they have
pl aged. Portland theatre goers are to be
congratulated on having so wonderful a
| c ompany here for the first weeks of the
