AMUSEMENTS.
The Dawn of Freedom.
At Hoyt’s Theatre last night Paul
Gilmore and a large company of excel-_
lent artists presented “The Dawn of
Freedom” to a good sized audience.
The play was presented in an excep-
tionally fine manner, The acting of
Mr; Gilmore was very realistic and
elicited much applause. He carried
his arm in a sling because of an acci-
dent which he sustained the night be-
fore in the duel scene, and that scene
was necessarily omitted last night, a
shooting adray engaged in in it’s place.
The “Dawn of Freedom” was pronounc-
ed the finestofitsline yet seen in town.
