“ UNCLE TOM’S CABIN ”
■—— TO-NIGHT. Eike “ Struck Oil,” “ Silver King,” and all those good wholesome dramas that used to delight our fathers, “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is always sure of a warm reception whenever staged. The pathos in the characters of “ Tittle Eva ” and “Uncle Tom,” the brutality of “ Simon Eegree,” the trials and troubles of the two quadroon slaves, “George and Eliza Harris” in their flight for free'dom, and the irrepressible simian proclivities of “ Topsy,” make as strong an appeal to the teelings of the audience of to-day as they did upon the people of America more than sixty years ago, when Mrs Beecher Stowe’s powerful story awakened a natural throb, which helped to unfurl the flag of emancipation over thousands of oppressed human beings. The Taylor-Carrington Co. stage this fomous play at the Public Hall, Foxton, to-night.
