THE HONORED DRAMA
IS COMING TO O’NEILL
The announcement of the advent of
Harriet Beecher Stowe’s immortal
drama, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” in the
very near future has caused a furore
among the amusement-loving public.
It is the one example of purely
American drama that has withstood
the vicissitudes of time because of its
purity of tone and faithful historical
depiction. The great moral lessons
taught by its simple philosophy have
attracted all classes and creeds for
generations. When one stops to con
sider that this masterpiece of litera
ture actually swayed a nation to
arms, its popularity can be easily ex
plained.
Trading upon this popularity and
seeking to glean from a trusting pub
lic an ill-gotten livelihood, mounte
banks and charlatans have invaded
the country with inferior companies
at different times, but all have suff
ered the consequences of such dis
simulation. Since 1879, the William
J. Harvall “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” Com
pany has been recognized as the very
foremost institution of its kind on
earth, for it has succeeded in build
ing an amusement that is heralded
from coast to coast as the most tre
mendous colossus of modern times.
This season the company is con
veyed in a fleet of high-powered
trucks and trailers. And thus the ad
vance of time has made possible the
faithful presentation of this sterling
.old drama in the smallest hamlet
Vith exactly the same attention to
dbtkil as in the larges# eiy. The pro
duction, far too massive for the aver
age theatre, is presented in a mam
moth waterproof tent theatre, said
to be the most complete ever con
sructed, with comfortable seats for
a whole town. This in turn allows
for a volume of business that permits
the exaction of such small individual
admission charges that none need to
be denied the privilege of witnessing
the performance.
The date is set and this tented
colossus, with its myriad of novel
ties, plethora of gorgeous scenic ef
fects and great opulence of detail
will positively be presented at O’Neill
on Saturday, May 31, at 8:30 p. m.
This community is indeed fortunate
to be included in the itinerary of this
clever aggregation and a capacity
crowd will, no doubt, be in attend
ance. Prices 25 and 50 cents.
