Gave an Excellent Rendition Of Uncle
Toms Cabin.
That the story on which the play Of
Uncle Toms Cabin is founded will live
forever in the hearts of the American
people was illustrated last night when
Terry's Uncle Toms Cabin Co played
to the largest audience that has ever
assembled in a tent. and at s o'clock
standing room was at a premium. It
is safe to say that not a person pre-
sent regretted their attendance, as the
play was produced in a superb manner
in fact the best rendition of IL ever
given here. The musical program was
excellent and the orchestra is a per
feet jewel in time and harmony, each
individual being a master of the in
strument he performs on.
The singing and dancing specialties
and the songs illustrated with stereop-
tican views were features of the even
ing and received hearty applause and
the singing and buck and wing dancing
by the colored people was as good as
was ever seen O" heard in this town.
The principal characters in the cast
were excellently portrayed. in fact
even the most subordinate were effect
i've. Particular mention is due to the
excellent work of j. d. Chunn in the
difficult character of Uncle Tom
Louis Brooks as Lawyer Marks; while
Miss Myrtle Williams rendered Topsy
in manner that kept the audience
convulsed with laughter; and last but
not least Little Claire, the brilliant
child actress. gave the best portrayal
OF Eva ever seen in this city. In
fact ever member of the company Is
