TVarner Queen Miss Ada Dwycr Dixie Society Invited.- The members of .he Dixie Society have been" given a special invitation by the management of the Lewis and Clark Ex position to participate in the Thomas Jef ferson day exercises at the ExoosiUon, which are to be held today. "In a Balcony" was produced at the Marquam Grand yesterday afternoon as a fragment by Robert Browning. Had it ever been completed, it would have surely been one of the greatest masterpieces ever written, the ambition of the most gifted actresses and actors, such as Shakespeare plays are now. As it stands, it is a fragment rich and rare, - containing a wealth of possibilities, Just suited to dls plny the dramatic qualities of Miss Eleanor Robson. who took the leading part in Ita yesterday. "In a Balcony" is all drama, and it is built upon the foundation of pure and struggling love from the beginning to the very end. Miss Robson was simply su perb in this splendid literary play yester day, and the equal of her dramatic inter pretation of this famous piece has scarce ly ever been seen in Portland. Every idea of the noted poet when he wrote "In a Balcony" was seemingly carried out by Miss Robson as Constance, in all its dra matic intensity. Too zauch cannot be said In praise of H. B. "Warner, who took the part of Norbert. and Miss Ada Dwyer. as Queen. All three of the roles are extremely diffi cult, especially that of Constance, and an actress less talented than Miss Robson would have undoubtedly given it up as a hopeless task upon the first reading. The play is absolutely deoid of anything spec tacular or of grandstand effect, which sometimes are so helpful, and it depended entirely upon Miss Robson to hold tho attention and interest of tho audience. That she and her worthy assistants suc ceeded In their endeavor was plainly shown by the fact that the large audience, which filled the theater, was absorbed and enthralled, and during the one act or scene scarce a whisper or a shuffle or sound of any kind could be heard above the enunciations of those on the stage. Occasionally, however, upon tho climax of some intense scene, the audience could not restrain Itself and broke forth into appreciative applause. The audience was so Imbued and permeated wjth the dra matic spirit that loud and vociferous ap plause would have been impossible. The story tells of a young nobleman, who has rendered almost invaluable serv ices as Prime Minister, and who Is madly in love with Constance, a niece of the Queen. Constance reciprocates his feel ing, but in spite of his pleadings is re luctant in letting the Queen know. She is afraid that the Queen, who has cared for her as a mother from childhood days, would be terribly angered upon finding that Norbert had worked and made such wondrous achievements in tho realms of statesmanship because of his love for her, and not out of loyalty to the Crown. She persuades Norbert to tell that he loved the Queen, who was old and ex ceedingly homely, and that he also had & similar feeling towards Constance because of the near relationship between the two women. "With this Constance thought the Queen would think it natural for the two young people to be united. Norbert In stead was In favor of making a clean breast of It. The Queen is overjoyed upon being told by Norbert that he loves her. and instead of offering him Constance and believing him sincere decides to marry him. The two young people are discovered in the midst of a love scene, and then Norbert tells alL She leaves the two. and Just as the curtain drops the guardsmen are heard approaching, supposedly to avenge the wrecked love of the old but affection ate Queen.
