of the original, that has entertained

years.
This is literally true with one in
cidental exception. While the book
was written before the Civil War, in
the Universal production the drama
ends with the freeing of the slaves co
incident with the entry on the South
ern scene of the victorious Northern
troops. This dramatic license Direc
tor Pollard insists is justified, inas
much as the conditions of slavery
which created the real drama of the
book, were ended by the war, the
only fitting ending for theatrical pre
sentation is to show that ending.
Otherwise the whole story and pur
pose of the book becomes merely an
incident or succession of incidents in
American history.
There is no “war stuff” in the pic
ture. The appearance of the troops
on the march fit into the plot in the
manner mentioned, and in no place
do they show as combatants. To tell
the truth Mrs. Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin” is a thrilling book, containing
three distinct stories, melodramatic in
their thrilling human intensity, and
correlated through the inclusion of the
same characters. As such it has stood
the test of three-quarters of a cen
tury of popularity in the home, the
public library and on the stage.
A large percentage of the huge ex
penditure, it is said, went to the film
ing of the many scenes in the locations
depicted in the book. The story be
gins in Kentucky; carries Eliza north
across the Ohio river by the ‘under
ground railway;” returns to Ohio, to
the Mississippi, down the river to New
Orleans; back up the river to Simon
Legree’s plantation—“an epic sweep,”
as Mr. Laemmle says, “too big for the
atage.” This route, a large company
under Director Pollard followed dur
ing the filming, covering 26,000 miles
of travel. — 4

Christmas Seal Sale Report.
Total receipts in Barnwell County
in the Christmas Seal Sale campaign
were $332.97, according to a report
received by The People-Sentinel from
Mrs. D. McL. McDonald, executive
secretary, of Columbia, who was kind
enough to address a personal letter
of appreciation to the editor for his
assistance in the campaign. The
total sales in the State amounted to
$36,099.10, the second highest ever
held in South Carolina. The editor
thanks Mrs. McDonald for her expres
sion of appreciation, as quite often
the efforts of local newspapers go
unrecognized.

For two years past one of the prin
cipal topics in film circles has been
the currently reported news of the
filming by Universal on a huge scale
of the widely known story of “Uncle
Tom’s Cabin.” Local theatre mana
ger- were interested when the picture
was set for release. Announcement
is now made by Manager R. G. Hern-
dor of the Vamp Theatre that he has
hookfed - the .big-
theatre, and that he is planning a
special gala opening—Monday and
Tuesday nights, April 1st and 2nd.
For 75 years “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”
has been played on the stage by in
numerable companies of “troupers,”
their offerings ranging from what
\^ere scarcely more pretentious than
‘ medicine shows” to larger aggrega
tions, carrying brass bands, “two
Topsys,” “two Lawyer Marks,” and
other forms of ballyhoo that might at
tract crowds, but that had little to do
