AMONG THE PLAYERS.
stetson's big production Of Uncle
Toms Cabin" will appear at the Opera
/ House on Friday and Saturday after
Moons and evenings. This season it
has been organized in manner that
will make it far superior to any pro-
duction ever seen here. Special atten-
ton has been given to the staging of
the piece, and the scenery faithfully
portrays several scenes Of Southern
life during Anti-Bellum days in the far
South. A large number of genuine
colored people who introduce cake
walks, buck dancing, Southern jubilee
singing and funny scenes in the cotton
fields add materially to the production.
Misses Kitty Morgan and Bertha Cros-
bic are the two TOpses; Messrs. George
Harris and Nick Glinn are the two
Marks, and Stetson's original Uncle
Tom Fred Bennett, will also be
in the cast.
