OPERA HOUSE ATTRACTIONS.

OPERA HOUSE ATTRACTIONS.
StetSon's big production of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" will appear at the New
Milford Opera House, Saturday even
ing. This season it has been organ
lied in a manner that will make it far
superior to any previous production
ever seen here Special attention has
been given to the staging of the piece,
and the scenery faithfully prOtrayS
| several scenes of Southern life during
nti-Bellum days in the far South. A
large number of genuine cOlOred peo-
pile who introduce cakeWalkS, buck
dancing, Southern jubilee singing and
funny scenes in the cotton fields add
materially to the production. Misses
Kitty Morgan and Bertha Crosbie are
the two Topsies; Messrs George Har-
ris and Nick Glinn are the two Marks,
Fred Bennett, will also be in the cast.
OF late years the stage has been de-
| luged by SO many cheap "Uncle Tom"
companies that the public has been
| led to regard an announcement of it's
| production with great deal of dis
trust. Leon Washburn, the manager
of this company, has, however, sue
ceeded in organizing a cast composed
of specially selected players: Chosen for
their adaptability for the parts as
signed, and has received his reward in
and praise from the press. 1t is doubt
| full if "Uncle TOm,' even when a
novelty and new to the stage, ever re-
ceived the attention SO literally be-
slowed upon it as now during this
SumptuOuS revival.
