"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN."
This justly famous- story, written so many ■years ago, when the shadow of slavery hung over the two Americas, has been presented before the world's public on stage and screen innumerable times. The tala, so full of pathos and woe, now so humorous and bright, has all the qualities of first-class entertainment, and in the hands of good actors there is not a more alluring show than yncle Tom's Cabin." The latest version of the book is shortly to be seen in Ohristchurch on the screen, and certain it is ,that never before has tho story been told with so much spirit, so much tenderness. There has never been a more roguish Topsy, a more ethereal Little Eva, and the actor playing Uncle Tom, a negro, James Lowe, acts with all the dignity that is often found in the Ethiopian. This "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is beautifully produced, has none of the old hackneyed backgrounds that tradition has demanded, and, launching out on its own, has produced a picture that is without a peer in the theatrical world today.
