AMUSEMENTS.
Charles H. Yale's "Newest Devil's
Auction" will introduce to the patrons
of the Boyd this year a new comedian
In Mr. Chris. Bruno (a brother of Gus,
Jr.), who will be the Toby. In action,
voice and manners he resembles his
gifted brother, and has an original
way of saying things that is decidedly
unctlous. He is considered an expert
acrobat, a good singer, an excellent
danoer and a skillful musician. Almost
every one who takes a prominent part
in the "Newest Devil's Auction" this
known for many years. The author,
Mr. C. T. Daiey, has skillfully told a
powerful story, and baa dealt la an in
telligent manner with vital question
and live issues la American society
It Is a capital, clear, clean play, that
appeals to refined theatre-goers, and
bids fair to rank among the best works
of American dramaturges. Manager

year has never before been seen with
the attraction here. Without an ex
ception, the newspapers of Kansas City
last week spoke in the most flattering
terms of Mr. Yale's entertainment, say
ing that it was entirely new, with the
exception of the story of the Golden
Branch and the name. A special mati
nee performance will be given of the
Newest Devil's Auction" this after
noon at 2:30 at Boyd's Theatre. Per
formances will also be given this eve
ning and to-morrow (Sunday) evening.
"In Old Kentucky" made its hit be
fore it went to New York or Boston for
its long runs. It was unqualifiedly en
dorsed in Pittsburg, Washington and
Baltimore. No play produced in years
has been so warmly commended by the
press. Mr. Meltzer, probably the
ablest dramatic critic In this country,
said In the New York World: " 'In Old
Kentucky' gives you no time to think.
It sweeps you on from incident to Inci
dent, from act to act, from sensation to
sensation, till you reach the climax an
extremely realistic race scene. The
scenes are truthful, and the first act
simply takes away your breath.' " The
play will be presented at Boyd's
Theatre, December 23, 24 and 25, upon
a much more elaborate scale than here
tofore, and by a company largely aug
mented. "The War of Wealth," which will be
seen at Boyd's Theatre on Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday, December 20, 21 and
22, was produced last season and was
voted a great and emphatic success. It
Is conceded by competent critics to be
one of the truest examples of American
dramatic work which the stage has

Lltt has done much to aid the author.
He has lavishly mounted the play, giv
ing it a scenic environment which la
in perfect taste and which is complete
even to (he minutest detail. The great
run on the bank scene is a marvel of
realism, requiring the services of over
100 persons. This great number of
auxiliaries Is, It Is said, handled with
consummate skill and admirable effect.
Hundreds of clamoring depositors are
seen crying excitedly for their money,
while the banker stands In the doorway
making one last desperate appeal for a
little time. No more animated or ex
citing scene was ever introduced into
a play. Dealing as it does in a general
way with the vexed question of capital,
with the inner workings of great com
binations and with the peculiar meth
ods of some financiers, it has many
points of interest pertinent to the
times. The story tells, in an intensely
dramatlo way, of the efforts of the un
scrupulous junior partner, who has be
come Involved in disastrous specula
tlon, and nearly succeeds in wrecking
the bank with which he is connected,
together with the man who has be
friended him. In a scenlo way it is
one of the most beautiful and elaborate
productions which the country has ever
seen, its completeness ol detail was
remarked last season, when it was
given a six-weeks trial in the leading
cities. The moral of "The War of
Wealth" is that honesty, uprightness
and integrity will triumph both In the
business and the social world. The
characters are distinctive types of
American manhood, and have been
drawn with nice skill. The company
is the strongest ever engaged in the
presentation of an American melo
drama.
Lincoln J. Carter's big Fast Mail
Company appears at Creighton The
atre on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, December 15, 16,
17 and 18, and Sunday and Wednesday
matinees. "The Fast Mail" Is a melo
drama. As in "Sliver King," a young
man thinks he has committed murder.
Another man, for revenge, commits the
crime. Walter Is hunted and his faith
ful Mary ttles to protect him, flying
with him. The villain pursues them.
They are blown up on a steamboat, be
trayed at a railway station, deooyed to
a den in Chicago, and finally escape to
Niagara. The steamboat explosion is
very startling. How true it is can only
be answered by those who have been
blown up and saved on a raft. The
railroad effect, showing a station
master's and telegraph office, with the
arrival of a long freight train, followed
by the fast mall, whioh picks up the
mall-bag on the fly, is said to be the
best that has ever been produced, and
the closing picture of the Niagara Falls
Is a work of art made real.
Thomas H. Davis and William T.
Keogh's production of William Ha
worth's play, "On the Mississippi," is
marked by a great show of scenery.
The melodrama deals with very lively
and picturesque elements of life In Ten
nessee and in and about New Orleans,
It will shortly be visible to playgoers
of this city, opening a four-night en
gagement at the Creighton, with a
matinee Sunday, December 22.
