NORTE SHORE BREEZE 
THE RAMBLER 
The latest eccentricity to appear in 
the theatrical world is a musical ver- 
sion of what is called America’s great- 
est play, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” In 
the play’s new dress Uncle Tom is re- 
quired to “take a back seat,” and a 
bevy of charming (white) topsies oc- 
cupies the center of the stage the 
greater part of the time. Critics and 
theatre-managers all over the country 
are watching with much interest the 
fate of the production in this new 
form, many believing that the piece 
would live, no matter how it might 
be presented. The average troupe of 
would-be actors which usually plays 
the small cities with Uncle Tom is 
nothing but an aggregation of vaude- 
ville artists, and poor ones at that. 
But still there has never been an 
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” company strand- 
ed on the road, and that is certainly 
more than many of the so-called big 
productions can say. Apparently 
there is a resemblance between this 
play and Tennyson’s “Brook.”

Friends of a North Shore young 
man who is interested in amateur 
theatricals are enjoying many good 
laughs at his expense as a result of his 
latest attempt to win histrionic honors. 
Many of the young man’s friends at- 
tended a performance of an amateur 
show recently in which he took the 
leading part. At any rate, his part 
called for some pretty demonstrative 
work in the art of “putting the soft 
stuff” across the footlights, and in the 
“big” scene, where the gay Lothario 
was making ardent love to the lady 
of his choice, his male friends in the 
front row were all ready to try to 
make him laugh and “‘queer” the show. 
But they needn’t have made such ex- 
tensive plans, for they were saved the 
trouble of a forced laugh when the 
young man in whom they were in- 
terested made his entrance. 
Let us explain here that earlier in 
the act in question the young man was 
attired in one form of evening dress— 
pajamas—and as the part called for a 
rather quick change from this uncon- 
ventional garb to a business suit, the 
embryo Warfield simply donned his 
trousers over the pajamas. All would 
have been well, had he not been re- 
quired to seat himself on a divan and 
tell his lady-love how much he—but 
you know all about that—. When 
THE young lady of the play was 
snugly ensconed in the arms of her 
better-half-to-be the critics in the 
front row had- more difficulty than 
ever in keeping straight faces, for lo, 
and behold! our youthful suitor had 
forgotten to roll up his pajamas when 
he had adjusted his outer garb, and 
the picture which he presented on the 
stage was certainly the proverbial 
scream we read about. It is impos- 
sible to picture the chagrin of the 
abashed couple when nothing but 
laughs greeted their heroic attempts 
to show the audience how well they 
liked each other. The young man was 
not aware of his appearance, and to 
gain courage, made another hitch in 
his trousers, which only revealed more 
of his “full evening.” It nearly 
spoiled the show, but it was good 
comedy.
