THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) LITTLE EVA Cordelia Howard, the original little Iva who played in the first stage performance of “Uncle 'Tom’s Cabin,” is dis- covered still living, in Cambridge, Mass. \ She pars old now, but to her it probably “seems but | yesterday” since, as a charming little girl of four, she tripped before the footlights and frolicked with the original Uncle Tom. s She was hand-billed by a wise old-time trouper Youthful Wonder — Little Cordelia called the Child of Nature.” Her part, as Eva, was made the star because the man who dramatized Harriet Beecher Stowe’s famous book was her father, who conducted a dime museum in Troy, N. Y. The first performance of “Uncle ;Tom’s Cabin” was in that city Sept. 27, 1852. 7.20 5.00} 00 | as “The | Howard — generally Troy at that time had only 30,000 people, but “Uncle | Tom’s Cabin” ran for 100 nights raight. No other play | ever written could duplicate that record in a town of the same size. | From Troy the show jumped to New York City, where it ran 325 performances before going on the road. | Seventy-one years have passed, but at least a dozen “Tom | shows” still are traveling about the country and doing good | business — sometimes “hanging ’em on the chandeliers.” | Twelve, mind you, not counting wagon shows. | Ww hat play written and produced within the last 10 years will have one company playing it, let alone 12, when 71 years have passed ? _. Although crudely written and ridiculous in spots, “Unele | Tom’s Cabin” stands out as the most powerful play ever written in America. It was propaganda that fed the flames that precipitated the Civil War. It stirred and aroused the | passions of more millions of people than any other three} things ever penned by Americans. book form. Literary tastes and sense of humor have | changed since then, and the book has been eclipsed by the| dramatized version. Its power was in its!

Some 35 million pounds of maple sugar are produced each | “year in America, a third of it in Vermont. What wonderful friends and benefactors the trees have | *been to us!
