If press opinions count for any.
thing Al w. Martin s production OF
| Uncle Tom 8 Cabin, which will be seen
at the auditorium Wednesday evening,
has caught the public fancy. The
theaters where the offering has, been
made are said to have been crowded at
every performance, and no reasonable
doubt remains that business of the sea
son will reach figure that will aston
ish the dramatic world. For play
| holding the stage over 30 years, within
which period not single season has
elapsed during which it was entirely
absent from the theater. Uncle Tom S
Cabin still exhibits wonderful vitality.
Scorned, ridieuled, and rejected of the
| elect in the more important theaters a
| few wears ago, it is now ensconced in
the very homes of art, and thousands
are weeping and laughing over its varl-
Gus incidents nightly.
When Alias Jimmy Valentine be-
gan its long run at Wallack s theater,
| New York, the press came out with a
set of the most glowing reviews that
ever echoed the premiere of popular
play, SO unanimous was the approval
of the work of Mr.. Armstrong, play
wright, and the players who appeared,
that the management exhibited water
set in the lobby of the theater, offering
to give it away to the first man VINO
felt called upon to knock the show.
The water set remained uncalled FOR
throughout the original New YORK run
of an entire year, and was again placed

| interrupted by the hot weather, at the
commencement of the present season.
Brattleboro will be one of the. first
towns outside of New York and Chicago
to see this remarkable "unkn0ck able
play. The interesting detective-thlet
play will fill an engagement here Dec.
