MARGARET MATIiEk,
Monday evening Miss Margaret Mather will
make her bow to a Portland audience as Juliet
Miss Mather is Detroit girl who attained a
local name in private thea'rioals. Mr.. HILL
her manager, saw her, was Convinced she had
talent of high order and had her educated
for the stage. Two years ago she gave private
recltals to members Of the press in the larger
cities, and evinoed an understanding, and q
grace OF elocution, full of promise for her pro-
fession. The last season she has appeared
with success throughout the country. She has
had the best advertising any actress could ask,
and, if the critics are to be believed, it has not
been unworthily bestowed The western pa
pers are very enthusiastic over her Juliet. The
Chicago Tribune said:
"The people of this city are indebted to Mr..
Hill for the very best presentation of Romeo
aud Juliet ever seen in this country
The Cincinnati Gazette said: 'tMany times
during the progress of Romeo and Juliet
Miss Mather rises to that height which is be-
yond criticism, which cares not for sympathy
OF asks for liberation, but commands respect"
There will be splendid audience present at
Portland Theatre Monday night.
