1922 · 50m · Comedy

LITTLE EVA ASCENDS starring GARETH HUGHES is a romance of an Uncle Tom show-and the throbs and laughs in it are dovetailed as close together as the logs in the immortal character's cabin.

When an itinerant performing troupe that specializes in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” return to the owner and her son’s hometown for a show the younger brother Roy is nervous and unhappy because he plays Little Eva in the play. Sure that his sweetheart and her family will jeer along with the rest of the town he stumbles during the performance wrecking the set and bringing the show to a grinding halt. All is well though when the town’s hotel proprietor throws a big dinner for the troupe.
