Stoner, Miss Rachel Smith, Miss Virginia Borup. A remarkable woman in more respects than one is Miss Margaret Martin, with who I chatted for a few minutes at the Nortonia the other day. Miss Martin, be it known. Is here from Chicago for the purpose of directing and producing "The Toyshop" at the Hellig on Monday and Tuesday nights. She was here last year and achieved a brilliant success with "The House That Jack Built." Miss Martin Iras been professionally engaged in directing amateur musical performances for a number of years, and has a reputation as wide as the continent. She must have many of the qualities which have made David Belasco a man among millions, for she possesses a positive genius for getting results from the efforts of amateur actors and sing ers, particularly if they be children. The coaching of Juvenile performers is her bright, particular specialty and since most of her efforts are directed toward putting on children's extravaganzas and operettas, it Is easy to understand how valuable to her Is the quality of getting on with the "small sizes." "The Toyshop" Is the work of Jessie L. Gaynor, who has written- "The House That Jack Built" and a number of other successful pieces of similar .character. For the Portland production the cast will number 137, and at the only1 dress rehearsal, held Friday afternoon, it gave a practically letter-perfect performance. With the exception of half a dozen adults all this number are children below the "teens." "I've had experience In putting on these productions in a great many cities, but have never found children as quick to learn and so easy to work with as my 'Toyshop' boys and girls." Miss Martin said this of our Portland children with no small degree of pride in them, and her words rang with the truth of sincerity. "Juet think of it," she con tinued, "we've- worked only two weeks, and I feel perfectly safe In saying that Monday night's . performance will go . as smoothly as though we had been play ing a whole season. If the little per formers weren't so bright, the Item of 37 dances which they've learned as merely a portion of the work, would be enough to discourage the most enthusiastic. I repeat that Portland's children are the quickest and best I've ever attempted to coach." With this final tribute to young Port land, Mlsa Martin turned to other sub jects near her heart and chatted enter tainingly on a variety of themes. She Is a woman of striking force and person ality. Her capacity for accomplishment seems unlimited, and with It all her charm of manner and comeraderie make FLORENCE ALICE HOLMAN -'V'" -; : i2Sp A CHARMIMG LITTLE FLOWER GIRL AT THE RECENT HOLMAN NICHOLSON NUPTIALS. Little Miss Holman. the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Holman, was much admired at the wedding of Miss Grace Nicholson and Mr. Laurence Holman.

Miss Lou King was in blue and carried bachelor buttons, and Miss Irene HIgglns, the maid of honor, was in pink satin and carried sweet peas.
