UNCLE JOSH PERKINS.

The richly prolinc rural comedy
drama, Uncle Josh Perkins" Is
down for a visit TO the Elks' opera
house on September 18th. The play
of which Uncle Josh" is the central
iigure. possesses merit of the real
sort and at times is roundly melo-
dramatic and strenuous, and teaches
good, wholesome lesson all the
way through the four acts. The at
mosphere of both farm and city life
saturates the play, connected by a
pretty tinge of romance. coupled
with brusque masculine sympathy
and natural country attractiveness.
It's primitiveness is of the fields and
Is as free from impurity as the crys-
tai springs, while the characters
used TO typify the city folks are in
teresting TO bolster up melodrama
The character OF Uncle Josh" is one
that the auditor never grows weary
OF, i'm its repetition; 1t is full of
ruggedness, honesty and sincerity
and at times quite picturesque. com
bined with that native Yankee
shrewdness and simplicity. so char
acterstic Of New England farmers.
Uncle Josh" will continue to live
and amuse long after some OF the
later day stage characters have been
forgotten. The play has been given
complete new scenic equipment for
the coming tour and many novelties
in the way of stage mechanism and
light effects are brouhgt into requi-
sition. High-class and high-prlced
specialties. by artists engaged spe-
cially for their fitness to furnish
numbers which harmonic with the
play, are introduced from time to
time through the various acts. Take
all in all, it can safely be said that
the visit of Uncle Josh Perkins" to
Bluefeld will be taken full advan-
tage of by our play-goers and a
bumper house will doubtless greet
him and his clever band of enter
tainers
