Parthena in 1ngomar, the Barbarian.


Many present saw Julia Marlow years
ago play the part of Parthenia, and last
night Miss Rachel Lewis in the same
role, lost nothing by comparison. In
fact many considered her superior; when
she voluntarily gives herself as hostage
that her father might be ransomed from
the barbarians and, by her genuineness,
fidelity and simplicity, coupled with in.
dependence in spirit and self-assertive-
ness that would not down even in the ma
tive haunts of her captors, she conquers
the wild barbarian and drags him from
his mountain home, from being leader OF
his people, from the associations and
customs OF lifetime, makes him forget
his god for her God, and leads him cap.
tive, to Massilia, all by the silent cord OF
human love, In every phase which Par
them undergoes Miss Lewis was the &C.
complished personater, the loving daugh-
ter, the natural teacher of pure love, and
she tames the uncouth Ingomar withou,
any effort, free from wiles and coquetry,
but by simply being herself. the artless,
genuine, loving maid of MassiIia. We
predict for Miss Lewis high rung in the
h'stronic ladder.-St. Thomas Ontario
