AN UNCLE TOM

Seventy-five years ago Uncle

work. A year or two later George
Howard, father of Cordelia How.
ard, celebrated child actress of
the time, converted the novel into
a play, the grandfather of all the
thousands of versions that have
appeared since.
Having but limited stage space
and desiring the utmost in au-
dience reaction, Howard, whose
small daughter played the role of
little Eva, wrote the part OF
Uncle Tom to fit an aged char
,acter. bent with rheumatic pains
and hobbling across the stage on
a crutch. This was to create an
immediate sympathy from visual
standpoint without wasting too
many lines in explanation that
might be placed to other profit
able usage.
Ever after. all Uncle Toms have
been played that way. However
sad though it may he to upset a
tradition of more than 20 years
standing. this conception of Uncle
Toms is erroneous and far from
the, original description by Mrs.
Stowe of the celebrated character.
Uncle Tom was about 45 years
old. He was tall and broadchested,
as a slave overseer should be.
The price he brought at auction
was $1,S00. large sum for
slave. Naturally. an old, useless
man would bring nowhere near
that figure.
The entire drama world was
combed for suitable Uncle Tom
for the stupendous Universal pro-
duction of Uncle Toms Cabin"
which is now showing at the
Metropolitan Theater. The inten.
sive search was rewarded in the
discovery of James B. Lowe, who
created a sensation in the title
role of Eugene O'Neill's "The En-.
