he was considerably better, while Miss Waldorf thoroughly established her reputation as a tragedienño in the second and third, being particularly good in the soliloquy, before taking the potion, where she vividly imagines the consequence if her lover and the Friar should not be present at the awakening. Though not quite so well known as the first piece, Ingomar does not need to be described by us. It will however assist our readers if we quote the two lines on which the play bangs. "Two souls with but a single thought. Two hearts that beat as one." Mr. Norval McGregor showed decidedly to better advantage as a barbarian than as a civilized lover, and fairly carried his audience with hun through the different stages of ownership, submission and subjection. Miss Waldorf, as the Grecian the winsome, domineering and withal brave muiden, was exceptionally good in representing stock from which the ancient Greeks sprung!
