"Uncle Josh spruceby."

The city was yesterday treated TO an
outside performance by a company en-
gagged by the Northwest Theatrical Asso-
citation TO appear at the Seattle theater in
the evening. This osltsde performance
was merely the parade of the principal
actors Of the Uncle Josh Sprucehy' COM
pany to drum up an audience with the aid
of a very brassy brass band. The per-
formers were in costume. but IL needed a
sign 10 tell what they were for the char
acters they represented in the parade were
such as are seen along the water front
every day. The whole strength Of the
company seemed TO be out on parade, and
50 far as numbers went IL was a strong
company.
The drumming up did not prove to be a
success. II was new method. 50 far as
the habitues OF the Seattle theater are
concerned. and they either failed TO ''catch
on or were satisfied with the sight OF
the company for which no admission was
charged. The performance began with a
remarkably full orchestra, that played
sounds representing the music of the
barnyard. 10 the great JOY of the gal
leries. But in the thrilling scene where
the old farmer has just discovered his
erring daughter the second cornet slyly
disappeared from his seat and appeared
on the scene as one of the characters.
The villain shoots him in the toe and he
falls dead.
Act third opened with the "grandest and
most realistic scene ever produced on any
stage" 1t was preluded by the 'Miserere"
and other choice sad strains by the full
orchestra none of its members just then
being required on the stage) and softly dis
closed saw mill. A plank is pulled along
the face OF revolving buzz saw. and the
villain then goes into the office and enters
this marvellous performance in a book.
Then. of course. some one is strapped in
front of the buzz saw, and is saved from
being sawn in two just in the nick OF time.
There were other thrilling scenes. such as
shooting and so on, but the performance
was altogether too ineoherent to be more
fully described.
