The STORY OF M'LIss -"M'liss'', which
will be brought out at the Portland Theatre
this evening" is a dramatizstion of Bret Harte's
well known story of the same name,-a dra-
matization said TO be made with great skill and
to possess undeniable merit and popular inter-
est. Though picturing the rude life of the
frontier. as do "Davy Crockett and "The
Dantes," is not a sensational drama of the
"Across the Continent" school, but properly
constructed play, well-worded and of literary
merit. The leading part is that of M'liss. the
hoydenish little pet of the mining camp, and
the star actress is Miss Annie Pixley, dash
ing soubrette from California. Her conception
of the diff1calt role Of M'lss is said to be ex-
cellent, her acting superb her face and figure
exceedingly pleasing and her singing brilliant
As vocalist she shines to the greatest advan'
tage. She has rich, full soprano voice, clear
and ringing, and of grand sustaining power.
