UNCLE THOMAS, EVA AND THE BLOOD
HOUNDS.

EVERY thing else in the shape Of theatri-
Gals, or is she afflicted with such 8
plethora of money that she must throw
it away on such a dizzy, bair-liftipg
nerve narrowing, driving to drink
entertainment as that which descended
upon her last night2i Six hundred and
eight top gallery tickets were sold, with
q seating capacity of $50, the hish, 81
lrecord IN The history Oh the Theatre !;
lin the second circle there was much the
isame overflow; the first was crowded
and down stairs there were but very
If, W seats vacant. The yelliu., crush
ling, noting in front of the doors has
new, been equaled here. and half a
dozen policemen were poWeiless agaln-t
the mob.
This is about all that needs to be
ST id Of the show. In old times, our
respected stock company used
to give a very good representa-
ton of Uncle Tom aud tn
various characters were made to stand
out with good deal of eloquence d
reached was then potent one. but
| low with its twin t. pseys, Twin masks
blopdhounds and slang gags, it Is but
little else than circus or variety
how, aud that is all people look for
nowadays WHEN Uncle Tom is billed.
55ut people look for some degree Of
cleVerness. even in q circus or variety.
and with the "whooping up" this show
had received. they thought they wer.
TO behold something out of the ordi-
narv. Never was an audience more
| Tofully sold. The singing OF the Hyer
'i,ters was passably good-for ladies OF
| ;olor. The acting of the child was
| somewhat better than any Of the grown
| up PEOPLE hough it is burning shame
that she should be forced to slng) but
| With these exceptions the whole was
utterly and completely worthless. A
feeble orchestra of five achieved one
lood result in that it will make our own
| tppreciat. d. There were from half q
oxen to twenty acts-the audience lost
| Ill track of them after a while-and
very one in the piece enacted from
tTo 20 Jour separate characters.
Everyone doubled aud snapped off 10
e lch others parts with the exception OF
Uncle Tom and Little Eva. 1t is
waste of time, however, to seriously
C riticlse the production. People down
'taiys roared awhile and then went
away. Upstairs they swallowed it all,
aud will doubtless do so again Tonight,
when it will be gone through again for
their benefit.
THE BooTH-BARRETT NIGHT OWLS.
At midnight last night, number 20
