"UNCLE TOM" IN MOVIES

  At the New York Theatre yesterday Mr. William Morris, by arrangement with the Messrs. Shubert and the World Film Corporation, presented an elaborate motion picture adaptation of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” in five sections. The production is dignified in the acting and artistic in the photography, with no pains spared to obtain a proper scenic setting. Eliza trod real ice in a regular river, without racing all the way on property cakes, the length of a bloodhound’s nose ahead of the howling pack, as in early film efforts. Mary Eline, nine years old, who played Little Eva, recited a prologue in person.
