This will Is, i be a notable engagement. But none abroad and tew at home May match the dark-eyegirl of Cadis." Lord Byrons happy rhyme Is more easily understood after you have seen Florence Roberts iu the picturesque Spanish drama, Marta of the Lowland, revealed to Portland for the first time last night. Au Intelligent audience observed this Sbsumptlon of Spanish womanhood In red and yellow and drank in the poetry ufth a play with a much satisfaction a the matinee girl derives from her tenant phosphate.

In order tliat he may still he have the gtrl within bis power, brings about her marriage to Maaeltcfa, the trusting, faithful Manelich, and when the shepherd discovers what has transpired, he kills the master as he would a wolf. That is the story as briefly as it could be told. Miss Roberts, of course, is the girl, Marta. Angel Gulmera furnishes this vigorous story. He lives In Catalonia, a northern province of Spain.

It waa to demonstrate the vice and wickedness growing out of this condition that "Marta" was written. And contrary to an old proverb, Guimera is honored In bis own country. His plays and books and have for year been translated acted In all Latin nations, but this, the first, came into English at the Manhattan theatre, New York, aa translated by Wallace Gilpatrick and Guido Marburg. Mra. Flake gave it up because the role of Menelirh was much stronger than that of Marta. This may be attributed, I presume, to the eccentricity of genius. It is a fart that Marta is subop dlnate, but the art of Florence Roberts forces the character to the Especwith no uncertainty. ially in the second act, where the girl tells her story, the emotional power of the actress is given full swing. The third notable of the case la little Ollie Cooper,- - than whom possibly no greater child actress has yet lived.
