Southern people do not relish the presonta-
tion on the modern stage OF a character
such as that of Simon Legree. TO which
such prominence is given by Messrs. Hos
kins e Barbour In Mrs. Stoves book Le-
gree was originally Northerner. and 1t Is
possible that this fact had something TO do
with the favorable manner with which the
portrayal Of that character was greeted last
night.
The company presenting the play Is only
fair. Undoubtedly the best character act
ing was that done by Frederick Julian as
James Wilson. for while Edwin Barbour.
who plays Uncle Tom does some clever
work. the part Is not of sucha nature as 10
admit of the display Of talent 10 any sleat
extent. Mr.. Barbour's Interpretation Is
easy natural and effective, however. aud
he was well received throughout. Joseph
Cusack and Calvin 1ibbets as George Harris
and Marks, the lawyer, respectively. were
hardly above the average. Frederick Rob-
erts as Legree did some good work. cspe-
cally in the last act.
The female characters were In fairly good
hands. Miss Ada Lytton as Mre. Bird, Miss
May Hainos IA Eliza Harris Miss Christine
Roberts as Opheia and Mise Ruth Viewer
as Topsy all worked hard and consclen-
tiously, and Miss Edith Julian az Classy
displayed considerable talent during the
last act. The Interpretation OF the charac =
ter of Eva was in the hands OF little Kitty
McArdle, a child OF unusual ability for one
of her years, whose clever performance
made her a prime favorite with the audi
ence from start to finish. The remaining
characters were small, for the most part
and the company doubled on many Of
them.
