Miss LUCIA B. GRIrFIS.-The
first appearance in Portland of this
young lady, who has acquired quite
a reputation through the Western
states as an elocutionist and char
acter delineator, took place at the
New Park theatre yesterday. She
gave matinee and ali evening per
formance, and very generously do
mated half OF the gross receipts o.
the afternoon performance to the
Bible home, East Portland. Her
performances fully justify the COM
plimentary notices she has received
wherever she has appeared. Her
elocutiop is decidedly good, and her
voice is admirable in its tone and
aexibility. She has perfect COM
mand over its various sources, and
can As easily represent the piping
treuble Of age as the rich resonance
of youth and maturity. As deiin-
Gator of character and Of the art OF
realistic mimicrv she is especially
gifted. She completely sinks her
identity beneath the various dis
guises she adopts and for the time
being she j. the character itself, o
life.like is her stimulation. All of heI
work was salts actori y done and
heartily appreciated by the audience
But especially meritorious were her
bird.like limitations in "The Bnbo-
link" and 1.-The Baby's Soli!oquy.'
Her dramatic elocution in the most
exciting selections of THE Miser,
The Pilots Story" was such as |,
seldom heard except from far oldeI
and more experienced artists.-Sun
