Our BoYs.-The Wallaek Theatrical
Company was greeted by q very large and
fashionable audience at Bancroft Hall,
Wednesday night 1t is the ablest company
which has visited our city, and rendered
the pleasant comedy OF sour Boyso in
manner that greatly pleased the audience.
We regret that Mr.. Dillon marred his
otherwise good acting by the use Of vari-
GUS superhuous oaths, which were
entirely unnecessary TO the part, and Of
fensive to good taste and sound morality.
Mr.. Dillon ought to have had be tier judy
ment than to use such explosives here,
whether they are in the text or used by
other actors or not. The other members
OF the troupe did well in every respect,
and the cuteness Of "Mary Melrose'' was
especially refreshing. The play is one
which would be very Nat and prosy in the
hands OF the average travelling companies,
but the Wallack Company, by spirited
acting, made 1t, with the exception re-
ferred to, one OF the most pleasant and
satisfactory entertainments ever given
here. We understand that the company
will repeat the play here next Tuesday
txening.
