NATIONAL THEATRE.
The Testimonial to Mr.. Robert Downing
and Miss Clara Cole.

The play of "Ingomar" has always
been favorite with young actresses, probably on
account of the great amount of romantic senti-
ment it contains. There is tender interest in the
growing passion of the high born maiden for her
barbarian captor that always appeals to the femi-
nine heart, while the gradual softening of the
rough and savage nature of In9omdr under the
influence of his love for PrrtheniG forms
| fine contrast, and gives opportunity for ex-
cellent acting in many well-known passages.
AS has been intmated, 1t is a play in which young
and ambitious actresses find delight in attempting
to portraythe various impulses and emotions OF
the Greek maiden. Her heroism in offering her
self as hostage for her aged father commands at
once the admiration and sympathy of the audi
| ence, while the development of her
love for Ingomar keeps alive that interest
to the very close of the play. In the
performance at the National Theatre on
Wednesday night on the occasion of the joint
benefit of Mr.. Robert L. Downing and Miss Clara
Cole, the latter gave most happy eVidence-in her
Interpretation of Pdrhsaid-of the development of
that talent, the belief in which induced her to
ter the histrionic profession. Her conception
showed intelligence and marked originality, while
in her action she displayed simple dignity,
touching tenderness, and when needed, an ANNA
ton and spirit that won the hearty appre
citation of her audience No PCrthenid can be thor
oughly successful unless supported by an efficient
Lagonar, and in Mr.. Robert Downing this character
found most competent representative. With
fnefgure and full, rich, and resonant voice which
he holds in perfect control Mr.. Downing progress
in his profession has been rapid, and he now occu
pies position of decided prominence for so young
an actor. His IngomGr surpassed even the anticie
patton of his friends by its uniform excellence
His voice and imposing presence are great natural
advantages, but his whole performance gave evil
dence of the most careful study and conscientious
execution. In every phase of the character,
whether of barbaTic independence or the struggle
with his fierce passion for his fair hostage, MIR.
Downing excelled any actor whom we have seen
in the part since John Mccullough. Mr.. Down
ing has been for two seasons a member of
Mary Andersons company, ana, as it is learned
that he has been engaged for next season, is
to be hoped that HlgOmar may be one of the char
acters allotted him. 1t is pleasant task to chroni
