The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-11-22

famous Hank Goodman, whose name il well
known from the Atlantic to the Pacific The
same company played at Anaconda few weeks
ago, aud the Standard expressed the following
opinion OF the presentation: while all the
original charms of the piece are retained In the
play as presented in this city last night, the new
speeiaities which were introduced increased
those charms two-fold and served to delight the
audience. Billy Wood, an Marks the LAWYER
was very laughabie, and excited nothing bu.
favorable criticism. The character OF Uncle
Tom found an excellent delineator in Homer
Pitts The original old Uncle Tom himself
could not have sustained the role In a more
creditable manner. Fred Applebee, as the cold
Diooded, cruel-hearted Simon Legree, the slave
driver, could not have been improved upon
The character OF Topsy, the delight of the chill
dren and the life of the performance always,
lost none OF its originality in the performance of
Miss Edna Clair. Her acting was excellent. and
sne deserved fully the very liberal applause be-
slowed upon her by the spectators From be-
ginning to end she had the sympathy of the au-
dienee and gained deserved favor by her clever
work. The entire cast was strong, each role
having been played with that excellence
which Is Characteristic of good talent
There were numerous grand climaxes,
stirring scenes and touching crises all through
the play. The pride of the house was Hank
Goodman, one of the cleverest specialists who
has appeared upon the boards in this city for
some time. His rendition of the sketch "Mama's
Baby was q frst-class piece of work. The
company's fine orchestra is no small addition to
the general worth of the combination. In fact,
that popular old play, Uncle Toms Cabin,
cannot be seen today under more entertaining
circumstances than those presented by the ORR
ginal New Orleans "Uncle Toms Cabin" COM
pany. In Butte and in this city they were
greeted with crowded houses, and they will be
welcomed back by those who never grow weary
