UNCLE JOE.

UNCLE JOE.
Mr.. j. K. Emmet-who has gained celeb
rity that reaches from one end of the CONT
nent to the other in his German American
presentations, made his first appearance last
night in Portland as Fritz Won Wolfenstein
In Uncle Joe, or Fritz in Madhouse.'
There was large audience present and 1t Is
no exaggeration to say that 1t was thoroughly
delighted. The play is Of little consequence.
1t is Emmett that makes the piece, assisted by
Maud White as a lively Irish lass, cunning
Baby Spencer and Baby Cain. And Emmett,
for man, is as delightful in his graceful
dancing, his mellow voice-heard to such ad-
vantage in his pleasing songs-his expressive
countenance. and apt nervous acting, as Lot
ia is In specialties for woman. Songs and
dances were encored, one after another, and
the curtain called at the end of each act.
Miss Whites bright. winning face, and
her arch ways were a fitting accompaniment
as Cathie, to Emmett's Fritz, while the ba
bles were remarkable for such young chill
dren. The rest of the cast was good but had
little to do except serve as feeders.
Piinlimmon. the $1,000 st. Bernard, proved
a magnificent canine, and was quite at home
on the stage.
Tonight Uncle Joe'' will be repeated ana
there will probably be crowded house.
