The version of Uncle Toms Cabin, in
terpreted by Stetson's Double Monster
Company, which will exhibit at the operl
house on Monday evening next, has me
the especial approval of Mrs. Harrie
Beecher Stowe, the eminent authoress o
that world-famed drama, from the fact o
Manager Stetson's adherance to the orig
inal text, which is a complete deviation
from the custom of other Uncle Tom man
ayers, who interpolate so many attempt
ed gags, stale jokes and vulgar witticism
into their renditions that scarcely yes
tige is left of the neyer-to- be-forgottel
work. Aside from the great worth of tn
company. every act will be presente
with new and elaborate scenery, painte
by the master scenic artist of the world
The excellent company's two comica
Topsies, two ludicrous Marks, the elegan
scenery, the novel mechanical effects, th
: ferocious bloodhounds. two brass band
and the celebrated Lone Star Quartet,
will all unite in making the engagemer
most notable one.
