and secondary part role worthy Of more
than passing mention.
| M. DE Quercy is an artist of a school
peculiar to himself He ia what we might
call genial, but at the same time never loses

st. Charles Theatre. L
The five act play of .'Ingomar, the Bar
barian," was the attraction at the ST.
Charles last night. Mr.. j. G. McCallom
was the Mgomar. and ft,ingly portrayed
he untutored hero, wild and rugged in his
nomadic life, Yet suffering himself to be
chained and led by the silken thread of
owe, and bowling beneath ITS magic spell.
The character of Parthenia is one of pure
'Omance. 1t is pretty in sentiment and
poetry, but unreal, as put on the stage,
where she is made to wander through the
crest in white muslin soree dress, hair la
node, and with nothing to do but to weave
.arlands of flowers day after day, and re-
lite gems of poetry to the barb .rian and
xplain to him what love is. That is Par
henia rs written by Mrs. Lowell. The act
ng OF the character by Mrs. Bowers is some
hing pleasant to witness. notwithstanding, |
nd "Ingomar" has its admirers.
Tonight Mrs. Bowers will appear as Lady
iudley, her best character, in the drama OF |
Lady Audley's Secret"
