The Jacksonville Journal has the followDg to say about Stet?on's cotnpany and its performances : " Some thingsare bom not to die, and among them tny certainly be ranked Uncle Tom's Cabin. Although publit-hed over üO years agn, the book continúes to sell right along and the troupes who present it on the stage are generally well patronizeJ. Stetson's 1 Original, Monster Donble Combination ' was no exception last night, people actually climbing over eash other in their haste to gecure tickets. The play was fairly represented, though Eva was nearly sick and unable to do her best. As a matter of course the dogs and donkey came in for their full ghare of the applause. There was a liberal number in the cast, though in several features we could not see that the ' doublé ' feature was much of a help." Of " The Naiad Queen" which will be presented in Ann Arbor, Feb. Ü9, ilaroh I, 2, and 3, the Crawfordsville Siar says: " The Naiad Queen has captivated onr people. For two nights the music hall has been crowded with a delie;hted audience, and again there has been a large number of seats reserved for this evening's repetition of the beautiful allegorical play, which will be repeated for the last time on Friday evening. It would be impossible to pay worthy tributes to the many excellent performers. It is enough to say that from the least to the oldeit all show the impress of Prof. Walter Clark's talent in teaching. There is no delay in any part of the four act?, no mistake, but on the contrary bright acting, pretty music and the most impressive illuminating tableaux ever seen in the city. The final tableaux, 'Liberty and Faith Triumphanr,' is almo6t seraphic."
