Uncle Tom Coming.

Stetson's big production of
"Uncle Toms Cabin" will appear
at the Auditorium on Wednesday
night. 1t has been organized this
season In a manner that will make
1t far superior to any previous pro-
ductlon ever seen here. Special at
tention has been given to the stag
Ing of the piece and the scenery
faithfully portrays several scenes
of Southern life during Ante-Bellum
days In the far South. A large
number of genuine colored people,
who introduce calkwalks, buck
dancing, Southern jubilee singing
and funny scenes In the cotton
fields add materially to the pro
duction. Misses Kittie Morgan and
Bertha Crosbie are the two Topsies;
Messrs. George Harris and Nick
CHM are the two Marks, and
Stetson's original "Uncle Tom"
Fred Bennett, will also be In the
cast. OIL years the stage has
been deluged by so many cheap
Uncle Toms" companies that
the public has been led to regard
an announcement of Its pro-
duction with a great deal of
distrust Leon Washburn, the
manager of this company,
has, however, succeeded In organi'
ling cast composed of specially
selected players, chosen fol- their
adaptability for the parts assigned
them, and has received his reward
In the generous patronage of the
public and praise from the press.
1t Is doubtful If "Uncle Tom" even
when a novelty and new to the
stage, ever received the attention
so literally bestowed upon 1t as
now during this sumptuous revival.
A street parade will be given that
Is said to delight every juvenile
spectator beyond measure.
