''UNcLE TONS CABIN" AT THE GRAND.
There was u perfect crush at the Grand
Opera House last night, the standing room"
sign being displayed long befora O'Clock,
and the GALE OF tickets stopped. 1t was by
lar the largest audience of the season. and
to great extent, composed OF representa-
tive people. From the very first, the enthu-
siasm WAS unbounded. and az the play pro-
crossed it increased to q perfect storm. The
Draper company is capable, pSinstaking
one. and their performance of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" is the best ever seen here. Though
BEEN dramatiZed and played to more people
and during greater number of seasons
than, perhaps, any other drama on the
American stage, yet it has such a hold
on the affections or the public that to day
any presentation OF it 10 witnessed by as
large audien ces rs when is appeared csndi
date for public favor. The secret of it's
steadfast popularity is due to the fact that
the situations are so life-like, while the
whole fabric of the story is held together
with vein OF tender human interest while
the pure and lofty sentiment of the great
writer is pervaded with pathos and delicacy
that at once make 1t the greatest work of
great mind. Mr.. Sam Bolter makes the best
Uncle Tom who has ever assumed the
role, and the same may be said of Miss Kate
PartingtoE as ''Topsy," and her singing,
dancing, banjo playing, etc., was especially
clever. The Miss Ophelia" of Miss Kate
Large was well done, and w. II. Davidson
and Harry Martin as the two "Marks' were
funny. The other parts we're all satisf &C
torily assumed. One of the most enjoy able
features of the performance was the singing
OF Diapers Magnolia Jubilee Troupe,
some OF their plantation melodies be-
ing especially weird and sweet.
All the scenery is new and elegant.
In the act where Eliza escapes across
the frozen Ohio River from the blood hounds
in driving snow storm the situation is
thrilling in the extreme. ''In Heaven, or
the Beautiful Gates Ajar" the categorical
scene in the last act, is exquisitsly entrauc
ing, and represents Little Eva" traus-
formed into an angel and slahding ia the
gcloen gates of the Celestial City with
dainty smile on her cherub face and with
outstretched arms welcoming Uncle Tom"

big success. Matinee to-day at and per.
