pifr tl "i hi 4 Great Miss Peroy Haswell, heading George Fawoett's celebrated company, will come to the Metropolitan to-morrow evening for an engagement of several weeks' duration, presenting a series of light comedies. Miss Haswell is very popular in this city, having played several engagements here in the past three years, her popularity being due principally to the high-class nature of the productions presented by her companies. Miss Haswell will have with her during her engagement in this city a southern society girl, Miss Evelyn Vaughan of Richmond, who made her debut with Miss Haswell's company in Baltimore this season, and handled the mall parts given her so cleverly that for George Fawcett's starring tour in the south in "Othello" she became leading Woman, playing Desdemona.

The revival will present Miss. Haswell in a role peculiarly suited to her light and dainty comedy methods. Cabin" has been sometimes criticized as not being a perfect play in an artistio sense, but it most certainly furnishes the elements that please the average theatergoer. Its success is much enhanced by historical connection, and its treatment of life in the south before the war. The pathetic life qi Little Eva and the sad existence of Uncle Tom, blended with the mischievousness of Topsy and the comicalities of Lawyer Marks, produce a series of stage incidents that do not fail to interest.

The production to be seen at the Bijou is the Al W. Martin's spectacular scenio presentation, well remembered by theatergoers from its successful visits in the past. Mr. Martin's production is said to be the finest the American stage has seen in recent years, thousands of dollars being represented in the scenery effeots.

The play, made from the novel, is an accurate production in stage form of the thrilling and fascinating story so artistically told by the great novelist. The story puts In concrete form the idea that every man is really possessed of two natures, one good and one evil, struggling for mastery.
