MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
MARY ANDERSON


Tonight, Mary Anderson, supported by j. W.
Norton and selected company, Will make
her first appearance at Portland Theatre. 1t Is
long time since the old play of lngomar,-an
English translation by Mrs. Lowell OF the Bar
ron Munich Bellinghausen's drama OF ''The
Son of the Wilderness" produced in
this city. The story, it will be remembered, is
that of Parthenia, a Greek maiden, whose
father Myron, the armorer, has been taken
prisoner by this tribs of Allemanni of which
Ingonar is the barbarian chief. Parthena
seeks Ingomat's camp to rescue her father
from captivity. She tames the savage spirit
of Ingomsr, induced him to permit her to re-
turn to Massilia whittier her father has been
allowed to precede her while she remained as
hostage. Ingomar accompanies her to the
city,sregoves, for Parthenia's sake,to become q
Greek, sbandons the dress of his tribe, turns
his sword into a plowshare, spurns the offers
TO betray his countrymep, bnt makes them
friends and allies of the Greeks, redeems his
bride, Psrthenia, from slavery by the sacrifice of
his own liberty and finally he and Parthenia
are united.
"Two souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one''
The drama affords scope for the finest acting.
The filial piety OF the Greek maiden; love
which is made to yield to duty; and the many
characteristics that go to make up a nature of
the highest order, all find representation in
Parthenia.. The character is one that is said to
be especially suited to Miss Anderson, and is
therefore appropriately selected for her debut
here.
We would suggest that seats be secured DUR
ing the day to avoid delay at evening, and it is
