The little town of Warren comes into
some prominence as being the birthplace
of Daniel Worcester, the first man to
play the role of "Unele Tom" in the
decentralization of Harriet Beecher Stoves
"Uncle Toms Cabin" But Warren can
scarcely lay any claim to credit for
lighting the torch Of theatrical ambition
for the youngster reared in log eabini
along with IL brothers and sisters. II
was not until the young man was able
to get out and into less restricted en-
vironment that he became fred with
desire to attain success on the stage
but the force Of the compelling desire
may have been strengthened by the fact
there had been comparative supineness
OF the imagination up to that great
change in his life. He was all the more
ready for impressions when he did come
into contact with enlivened forces. So
one must give Daniel Worcester credit
for making much Of himself after a start
which was not at all promising Of ca.
reer along the line be finally selected.

for the suit to be brought, but the mon
