"Uncle Josh Perkins" is the title
of a play that has scored a success
this season unprecedented in recent
years. 1t is to be given here in all
its entirety by the original company
which first carried it on to prosperity
and popularity. It will be produced
here September 4, 1909, at Opera
House, and it is certain to play to
packed house. "Uncie Josh Perkins"
is comedy drama; there is touch
of tragic nature in it that excites to
an intense pitch the emotions of the
spectators, with all ending happily.
The play is livened up by the excel
lent 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 ap-
plauding uproariously at the funny
antics of the comedians. Some new
and exceedingly clever songs and
specialties are introduced at appro-
pirate stages Of the play, vast a.
mount Of new and magnificent scenery
is used for the impressive stage pic
lures presented in each of the four
acts of the piece.

Every woman in the harem has her
face decorated in the most curious
manner. The practice is to elongate
the eyebrows to the ears and to embel-
lish the chin with little points of black
paint. In contrast with the men,
their compilations are very fair, as
they are shut within walls and are
never exposed to the sun.
