 Charles E. Davies' superb spectacular | production of "Uncle Toms Cabin," with Peter Jackson, the champion heavy weight, | in the title role, will be presented tonight. | An exchange says: There was @ large audi | once at the New Park last evening to see 1 Peter Jackson, the famous colored heavy weight champion, play the title role in | "Uncle Toms Cabin." Those who went there expecting to see the character bur lesqued by an ignorant, incompetent or brutal giant, were sadly disappointed, for the character was never played in a more meek and humble manner than by Peter Jackson. He was thoroughly at home in the role and showed the effect of careful study and constant rehearsal. The sup port of Charles E. Davies and his company was excellent, and the spectacular form in which the old drama is staged made 1t far ! more acceptable than it would other wise have been. Prior to the commencement of l the play Jackson spared 8 short bout with his boxing partner, in which he displayed science, agility and generalship. There is l nothing rough or coarse in the entertain ment, and nothing but the plsybills would indicate the presence of @ man of Jackson's powers in the title role.
