Weston Weston's Opinion on Uncle Tom's Cabin Burlesque
The Lester Post laments a Loyd Company's Uncle Tom's Cabin burlesque in Weston calling it a blurred mix of burlesque and farce. It mockingly imagines local talent in roles such as Simon Legree and Uncle Tom while noting audience reactions and the paper's struggle amid lean revenue and sparse support. The piece also cites a Teachers Institute planning and a tragic accident in Pendleton where J D Hunt died after being injured while attempting to board a train.
