The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-03-18

Jollity, tender sentiment, lively dia-
logue, spectacular situations, thrill
ing climaxs and poetic tustice-all are
prettfly blended in ancient -honored
Uncle Toms Cabin" which the re-
nowned Stetson Company will offer at
the Park Theatre, Monday Matinee
and evening. Throughout this grand
old stage story is Illustrated the va
carries Of life and the versatility of
human nature. The law of compensa-
ton, SO dear to Emerson, is strictly
observed. The pathetic death of Lit
tie Eva has no sooner covered the au-
dience with sorrows pail than a stun
store the flooded or merely dropping
soul. The Stetson Company is the
acknowledged leader in the production
of Harriet Beecher Stoves master
piece. The cast is large in numbers
and well distributed. The blood
hounds and ponies, the music and
scenic effects, costumes and accessories
are all of the best attainable. Spe-
cialties glitter through the evening
Leon Washburn-Stetson Company there
are all kinds of dramatic greatness.
1t is in a class by itself. Go and see
it or you will miss the years best Of
fering.
to the Park Theatre for two nights,
Tuesday and Wednesday. March 81
%, was playing in New York city
last season JOS. M. Gates, the produce
er of the play as we'll as of Three
Twins" which is by the same authors,
was talking in the lobby of the New
York Theatre with Morris Uri, his
partner in the enterprise. Among 9TH
er subjects in connection with the COM
pany and the performance that of the
eyes of the girls of the chorus came
up. There was some discussion re-
garding this subject and\ then Mr.. Uri
went back on the stage for the pur-
pose of making a careful count of the
colors of the girls eyes. After looking
back of an old envelope he returned
to Mr.. Gates. 'There are eleven pairs
of black eyes, he reported, ''seven
pairs of brown ones, eight pairs Of
grey ones, eleven and a half, pairs Of
blue ones" Hold on there" inter-
rupted Mr.. Gates, what are you
talking about? Do you mean to tell
me that We have one eyed girl in
the chorus or one with three eyes?"
But Uri didn't mean that at all. In
making the investigation he had dis
covered that one of the girls Miss
Helen Gray is the possessor of a pair
of eyes that are not mates, in that
one OF them IS dark blue and the
other dark hazel. This perculiarity
is not noticeable to the casual obser-
yer, but close investigation shows 1t
to be true. Miss Gray who is a very
pretty girl, is very proud of the fact
that her beauty possesses this rather
unusual feature. While this popularity
in the fermentation of the iris of the
eyes is by no means common, it has
a number of times been found by ocu-
lists.
Commencing Thursday March % for
three days Clark's Runaway Girls Com
pany, one of the foremost attractions
in the Eastern Wheel will be seen
here with an entire new change of
burlesque, scenery and costumes. The
name of the piece is '"The Aviators''

ed with spicy dressings by Jack Reid

interest of the under world from the

um pill. This is certainly the great.
est novelty of the season.
