Royal Olympic Theatre.—The celebrated romantic play entitled " Ingomar," was performed at this theatre on Thursday, to a well-filled house, which must have proved highly satisfactory to the beneficione —Mr. Lee. The play was admirably put upon the Btr.ge; whether with reference to scenery, dresses, or appointments, all were appropriate. Of Mr. Cox's " Ingomar" we cannot speak too laudatory. The best, test of proficiency in the dramatic artist is the ability to blend nature and art with such consummate tact • that the beholder fails in his analysis ofthe compound, and becomes a delighted believer in the histrionic in- ■ fluonce. This may be urged with reference to Mr. Cos's "Ingomar," The rough unpolished savage, rejoicing only in his sense of freedom and possession of physical strength, holding the creed— " Youth only is itronp, and strength alone is free" —then, as the first beam of love darts upon his soul, 'and proves its potency of effect upon his rude nature —the almost playfulness with which he yields to Parthenia's request; and in the subsequent portions of tho drama, when his love has become more matured, and he is influenced by its magical power; all • these different phases ofthe' character were thrown ■ out in bold colouring. In the, fifth act-—after giving - up, as he declares, his " home and kin" to become a Greek—when urged by .the Timarch to betray his countrymen; Parthenia being the reward held forth; the tone, look, and gesture, when he repudiates such , *. dastardly proceeding, wete given with truth and vigour, winning the rapturous plaudit, of the house. Mrs. Cox's " Parthenia" was a chaste and powerful performance, displayinggiace and pathos: she looked the character admirably; There were several passages . worthy of especial mention; but perhaps, in none was she more felicitious than in the last act, when, on her father's rejection of " Ingomar," /.he returns to him, bearing his sword, and, with all tho devotedness of true love, declares she will follow him wherever he " bends his wandering steps." The scene;was truthfully played, and told well, with the audience Mr. Bertram's '\Polydpn" was'an able rendering of a'difficult part—each trait of the penurious, revengeful old dotard being forcibly»depicted. . Tho play was highly successful, •-.. and we. deeply regret, the stay of Mr. Cox and his talented company is limited to three nights more. Durjngtheir short.sojourn amongst us, everypiece ..-^they have'appeared in has been marked with the . jrreatest care and efficiency, and as each novelty has been placed before us we- have been at a loss to say which, pleased ns mosf, so truly successful has it* pre- - deoessor'proved. "We trust we shall,'at no distant (-'■ -period, hail tlie return .of Mr. box aiid his talented corps to this town, and at thei-ame time would advise the lovers.of the.drama. not to.let the concluding perbe lost .sighj pf.— Wellington Independent, " ApniSr' ..;...',' 'A.., r^h X;_.,.'A-A'A < : .. 329
