MUSIC AND DRAMA.
IngoInar.

Mr.. 1 ovells beautiful play of Ingomar
land tn eatre at both matinee and eve
ming performances. There was not a
large audience in the afternoon. but a
very good one was present in the eve
ming. The play was very well cast and
very we'll given, and the audience ap-
plauded the leading selections literally.
AS Ingomar, the barbarian chieftain,
Mr.. E. P. Sullivan was forcible and effec-
tive, while Miss Martha Conway,
as Parthenia, enacted the character with
grace, simplicity and much quiet force.
The other characters were faithfully
taken. 1t was most agreeable experience
to once more see the standard drama in
possession of the boards in the place of
variety and horse play farces. The or
chestra, under Mr.. Grimmer, was aug
mented i'll size, and gave the medley and
the patrol SO well they were heartily
applauded, and the latter was encored,
MIR. Grimmer bowling his acknowledge
ments. The new sets of scenery by Dave
Richards were very appropriate and quite
artistic. This was the cast of the drama
