MUSIC AND DRAMA,
CORA TANNER

Tonight Cora Tanner will appear at Port
land Theatre in Buchanan's play "Fascin-
atiop," supported by Col. w. E. Sims
Brooklyn Park Theatre company, and pro-
dnced with special scenery. The New York
Tribune says: THE play is daring ex-
pertinent. 1t certainly merits the authors
claim Of unconyentionality. The purpose
of its various complications was to give Miss
Tanner full scope for the display Of emo
tionol power and versatility. She has talent.
and great deal of it; she is sincere. and she
has charming presence and graceful bear
ing, all Of which go to make a successful
actress. When it came to the portrayal of
the womanly feelings especially, there was
Sympathetic tone, sincerity of power
and clearness of understanding that entitle
her to place in the front ranks of her pro-
fession. The supporting company were all
above the average, and few of them were
really excellent. The play will be repeated
tomorrow evening.
