Mr. Woodin's Entertainment.

To-morrow afternoon Mr. Woodin will rePeat'
for the fiftieth time, his double entertainment ell"
titled " Baden Baden," and Up in the Air,"
which occasion a very brilliant audience will a
semble to participate in the enjoyment. There is_h
peculiarity about Mr. Woodin's entertainment wia:o
distinguishes it in a very special manner from tbc).ir
of other public entertainers who have in some ihr
stances appropriated many of his " notions." as
Yankee cousins call them. Yet, notwithstancb%
this, there is one and not a trifling matter, th at secure
to Mr. Woodin the full possession of his own,
his originality. Imitators may appropriate ideas'
but the realisation of them is quite another Oil/7'
and thus the natural and innate talent of Nr;
Woodin keeps him in his right position. rf.bto
entertainment of Baden Baden, ever since Al
first production, has attracted crowded and
lighted audiences ; and, speaking from actual °a
servation, we should imagine there is quite 03°1.0
wit and fun in it to attract the pleasure-seek
of the metropolis for months to come.
