JUNGLE JOSH SpRUCEBY"
A Saw-Mill Plant On the Stage As a
Feature.

The realistic saw-mill scenein "Uncle
Josh Spruceby," the down east play,
comes nearer to the genuine article than
any of the many stage effects now before
the pubic. In fact, so real is the &c.
inch buzz-saw, that one of the actors in
the play had his right hand cut off at
the wrist during a performance last
season in Illinois.
No play nowadays is complete
without something in the way of
mechanical effects. "Uncle Josh
Spruceby'' lays claim to one of the
most novel scenes OF any piece on the
road this season. A full and entirely
practical saw-mill is placed upon the
stage and appropriate scenery is used
to make a superior stage picture.
When the heroine is rescued from her
perilous position at the climax of the
act the hearty applause gives evidence
of the appreciation of this acme OF
stage realism.
