Sanford Dodge in "InGomar.

"lngomar" by Sanford Dodge, was
given q fine setting and rendition Thur
day evening in the court house square.
The idea of getting out into the open
air and using natural scenery and sur
rounding, is novel and attractive one
for the warm weather season. The
beautiful shade trees and lawn of the
court house yard gave ideal opportun-
tiles which we're greatly appreciated
by the good audience assembled.
'IngOmar" might be termed dra-
matte representation OF the advance
ment aud triumph of civilization over
barbarism as seen in the relation Of the
sexes. 1t is classical story of early
Geek days, but deals so intimately with
the principles and relations of life as to
command the deep interest of all classes
of people in any age or country. Mr..
Dodge Is by temperament and physique
we'll adapted to act the part OF Ingo-
mar, the barbarian chief, at whose
hands the great cardinal qualities of
courage, frankness, honesty and love
are seen to be innate in humanity, mod
ifsed and developed to be sure but new
er originated by the external fact and
account of civilization. For the most
part his support was good, the strength
OflIngOmar overshadowing Parthenia,
whose charm and winsomeness should
have equal or greater force. The play
was enlivensd with glimpses of some
of the lighter phazes OF present-day
ltfe-humanity at play-showing hui
man nature to be essentially the same
iu all ages and under all conditions.
The entertainment was highly enjoy
ed and appreciatee by all present.
