AMUSEMENTS "Uncle Tom's Cabin" There has never been so lavish and adequate a production of "Uncle Tom's Oalbin'' as that which Kibble and Martin will offer amusement lovers at tile Majestic on Friday afternoon and evening. The scenes Which are large enough to fill the most spacious stage could not be easily improved. Those representing the Ohio river in winter, the rocky pass in which George Harris protects his family, the St. Olaire plantation, the levee at New Orleans, the cotton fields in full bloom, and the "Celestial City," are all most notable effects. Each pictures the real ity as closely as paint and canvas will permit and the stage prospecting is so biig that the effecit is exceptionally pleasing. The company is also worthy of the environment. Gus CYrilins, the emi nent minstrel star, offers an excellent etudy of Uncle Tom.—Adv.* Al. H.

The period of time of the story is 1664, when the present metropolis of America, New York Oitv, was a mere village controlled by tho Dutch. There is plenty of humor in ''Whin Old New York Was Dutch;" i there is plenty of color in scenic effects ! and in the brilliant uniforms of the English and the quaint costumes of the Dutch; there are emotional situations |of dramatic intensity; and then, of 1 course, there are songs composed and rendered by the stnr, the kind of songs ( that immediately find a resting place in one's memory, with such fascinating - titles as "When I First Met You," "Moon, Moon, Moon," "When the Roses in Spring Bloom Again," and "Mr. Bear."—Adv.* Thurston, the Magician Thurston, the magician, will be the attraction at the Majestic three days, | starting Monday, March 1, with mat i inees Tuesday and Wednesday.

Artistic staije craft makes their offering a pleasing "»ig!h act" and the delightful harmony of the company of vocalists has never been equalled at the Orpheiwn. Laughter however, is the keynote of the bill. It reai-hes its height in the excellent George Ade comedy called "Speaking to Pa-ther," that Milton Pollovk and company are presenting. This comedy playlet is good for one continuous laugh. Another of the bill's very pop uhr acts is the breezy and catchy flirtation skit presented by Harry and Eva Puck. This clever coup'.e rank with the best known in vaudeville and even though few Orpheum patrons recall them since they were here before, it is only fair to say that they are one of the most pop ular teams on the bill.
