Ingomar

Ingomar (1851). This romantic drama, adapted by Maria Lovell from a German play by Friedrich Halm, premiered simultaneously at the Broadway and the Bowery Theatre s The story tells of a sweet, comely maiden, Parthenia, who wins over Ingomar, the leader of the invading Allemanni barbarians—a beauty‐and‐the‐beast legend set in classic times. The play was famous for its celebrated couplet, “Two souls with but a single thought,/Two hearts that beat as one,” which closed the second act. Mme. Ponisi and Frederick B. Conway were the leads in the Broadway's production, Amelia Parker and Edward Eddy at the Bowery. The play was revived regularly as late as 1909. Among its famous interpreters were Mary Anderson and Julia Marlowe. Also, Salvini was a controversial Ingomar.
