To say that the house was crowded but faintly expresses the exact condition. It was packed, and that, too, with a very pretty and intelligent audience.” The play, “The Way of the World,” is a rather sensational comedy-drama, with an exciting and complex plot, which serves the Weston Brothers well, as it affords them an opportunity to introduce their numerous specialties. As musicians, the Westons’ rank high in the profession, and last night their skill as displayed in rendering numerous.selections on various instruments, was recognized by the audi ence.
