No drama that was ever seen in Portland brought such a deluge of esrs. Even old Bradley, SO years old. he veteran stage hand at the Hellig, cried during the last scene at the first performance, and the remainder of the crew behind the settings followed his example. So many In the audience wept during the lost scene and tried hide their tears mat tiie manage ment of the Hellig suggested to tha management of "Madam X" that the auditorium and foyer be kept dark while they passed out. to let them hide their tears and recover from their emo tion. The scheme was tried aucess fuily Monday night and last night. Many understood the sbsenre of the lights and expressed appreciation.
