Stetson Double Monster Uncle Tom's Cabin with two Siberian bloodhounds, imported at a cost of $500 each, plays at the opera house in this city to-morrow, (Saturday) evening with afternoon matinee. One of their many favorable press notices says:
Uncle Tom's Cabin - Stetson's U. T. C. Co.- played to the largest matinee Saturday last ever was seen at a theatrical entertainment in this town, and produced the play in a faultless manner with all scenic effects and plantation melodies accompanying. The cotton-picking scene was especially fine; in fact, incomparable. The low murmur of melodies mingling with each other from distant parts of the scene indicative of the many groupings of slaves picking cotton in the field, and the picturesque group in sight makes a sudden metamorphosis of one's locality and put us in dreamland, as it were. The many little ones there took it all in, or seemed to by the wrapped attention they assumed. In the evening there was a packed house to witness a fine performance, probably the best production of the great drama that has ever been here. The cast generally was far above the average and ably sustains the reputation of this company as being the best on the road. They treated us to a fine parade with their two bauds and made a sensation on the street, which was unmistakable.
