It is probable that. the actor and his company played under great dis advantages, due to the advance unfavorable criticism that had come from another city and the small audience Raleigh gives at Christmas time. Mr. Gilmore did more than satisfy his friends. He won over his critics, and as evidence of their appreciation of his work the audience gave Mr. Gilmore five separate curtain calls and demanded a speech. However it appeared elsewhere, he thoroughly pleased the Raleigh audience last night.'
