Ogarita and Hatfield Company Clever,
Versatile and Enjoyable.
The Ogarita and Hatfield
company ve ns a most
excellent play Tuesday night.
Though, but two performers
on the stage, an actress and
an actor, they are so exceed
ingly versatile and clevgr, as
to'fjirnish a variety of songs
and operatic and. comedy playS
reaching frojrc the droll to the I
the most thrilling passionate
Ldrama. A few tiarts were com
ically funny andevery part was
more than ordinarily reahstic-high-toned,
and enjojnible.
Mrs. Hatfield has a charming
voico and her songs are quite
pleasing.
Tiie company is exceedingly
generous and wo have only to
regret that moro ladies did not
avail themselves of tho splendid
opportunity of an evenings en-
joyn?int. If we want clover
popular plays in Concord this
corn any should have a packed
house.
