s.Uncle Josh Perkins,"

Uncle Josh Perkins" is the
title of a play that has scored a
success this season unprece-
denied in recent years. It is to
be given here in all it's entirety
by the original company which
first carried it on to prosperity
and popularity. 1t will be pro-
duced October 20 at Falk's Opera
House and it is certain to play to
a packed house. Uncle Josh
Perkins is a comedy drama:
there is a touch of tragic nature
in it that excites to an intense
pitch the emotions of the specta-
tors but all ends happily. The
play is also livened up by the
excellent comedy and when the
spectators are not in tears over
the misfortune of the beautiful
young heroine and the shadows
that appear to threaten her
future, they are laughing and
applauding uprOariOusly at the
funny antics of the comedians.
Some new and exceedingly clever
songs and specialties are also
introduced at appropriate stages
OF the play, a vast amount of
and magnificent scenery is
used for the impressive stage
pictures presented in each of
the four acts of the piece.
