The x - - Oregonian of Seplember nth says of the first night's performance : A large audience greeted the first pro- daction of "Thelma" at Cordray's last night, and received the play enthusiastic ally. "Thelma" has the distinct advan tage of being new to the Portland stage. It is a very pretty love story, with a be ginning in the land of the midnight sun at summer time, development in London and its climax in Norway in midwinter. With the love story there is villainy at the hands of people in high social rank and two glimpses of Norwegian mythol- 02V. set in scenic brilliancy. It is a sim ple story, appealing with force and di rectness. The comoanv is well chosen, Mies Beauford, who plays Thelma, has beau ty, a sweet, sympathetic voice, grace, and emotional power.
