A treat is in store for lovers of that everlasting success, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which comes to the Ypsilanti theatre Monday, Sept. 4. It will be presented by Al. W. Martin's big company of 60 white and colored artists, and ten thousand dollars' worth of magnificent scenery and effects. The cast is composed of good dramatic people. Over 50 people appear on the stage, besides fifteen horses, donkeys, oxen, eight shetland ponies, eight man-eating Siberian bloodhounds. Every stick of scenery used from rise till fall of curtain is carried by the company, who travel in their own special Pullman palace car. The stage settings and features are magnificent, including "Eva in the golden realm," St. Clair's residence by moonlight, etc. Thrilling floating ice scene. A number of up-to-date specialties are introduced by colored talent, including buck and wing dancing, camp-meeting songs, banjo solos, and concluding with a grand prize cake-walk.
