It was a happy Thauksgiving day for Wil- liam J. Gilmore because the fates vouchsafed him two fine audiences for “The Devil's Auction.” Kvery sent atthe Boyd was sold last night, from the hithermost row in bald nead paradise to tho uppermost perch in “nigger heaven,” whilo tho boxes bulged with stag partics and the terraced ranks _of sitters wore fringed with standing humanity, and the entortainment was worthy the mag- nificent audience which it moved to alternat- ing storms of applause and choruses of laughter. There wrs not much story in “The Devil's Auction” that was taken off the stago four years ago, and thoro is oven less in its re- juvenated form. George .H, Adaws, our friend of happy “Humpty Dumpty” mem- ory, carries the only speaking part of any particular merit, and ho gives a frolicsome, tunny, donkeyesque impersonation of “Toby" that is irresistibly infectious; but the performance does not depend on acting abilitv in thd scattered dinlogue, and tho umtics even survive the betrayal of a fairy who ceases a virtuous piatitudoe to sing an indifferont topical song. Tho story, what littlo there is of it, is an_insibid mixture of demon and fairy with right triumphant, a sort of adramatic milk and mush to feed simple mentalitics, but _that is the smallest part of the entertainment. The performance [§"largoly extravaganza, and who over anc: ceeded in fixing suy limitations to that Sart " “ihe Devil's Auction” in its new form is full of unique specialties, and is staged with groat magnificence. It was to bo expoected that the costuming would be fine, but the scenery was beautiful o worgeousness. Tho manager who fuvors the public with such a wealth of pretty scenic effects is entitled to kindly, even gon- erous, consideration. Among the svecialties were soveral ballet divertisements much better and more elaborate than the average fort in that direction he Lorellas gave a pantomimic act which was not only new, but startling to the imagi- nation and puzzling to the seuses.

But, really, the only way to get au adequate idea of this spectacular affair is to goand see it. Overd50.000 Howe s nave boen sold, and the demand increasing continumly. Bor: den&Selleck Co.
