10 November 1853 [Advertisement] "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN"—TO DAY IS WHAT IS to be termed the "Uncle Tom's" Jubilee, at the National Theatre, the evening being the 100th night of that popular Drama. The following will be the order of the day: At 9 o'clock in the morning, the powerful National Brass Band, 30 performers, under the direction of J. SCHUBEL, Esq., will commence the performance of their Marches, Quicksteps, &c., from the Balcony in front of the Theatre, which will be continued throughout the day and evening. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the great drama of UNCLE TOM'S CABIN will be performed, for the accommodation of Ladies, Schools, Families, &c. At 6 o'clock in the evening Messrs. J. G. and ISAAC EDGE, Jr., Pyrotechnists of Jersey City, will give a grand public display of Fireworks in front of the Theatre, exhibiting a favorite scene from the piece, at the conclusion of which, Professor GRANT will exhibit his celebrated Drummond Light from the top of the Theatre. At 6 1/2 o'clock the doors will open for the 100th representation of UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, in the course of which Manager PURDY will present to "Little Cordelia Howard" a set of Gold Tea-Plate, manufactured by Messrs. BROWN and ATWOOD, Jewelers, No. 148 Chatham-st., as a testimonial for her inimitable and truthful delineation of the gentle Eva. UNCLE TOM'S CABIN will be continued EVERY NIGHT, and EVERY WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY AFTERNOON during the year 1853. 17 November 1853 [Advertisement] "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN"—Continues to crowd the National Theatre nightly. This is the only place in New-York where the G. L. AIKENS version of the piece can be witnessed. It has now been performed 116 times, and is now announced for every evening, as well as every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, during the remainder of the year. 28 November 1853 [Advertisement] "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" AT THE NATIONAL THEATRE—This dramatic version from Mrs. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE's celebrated work, being the most faithful, has caused it to have a run at the National unprecedented in the annals of history. To-night will commence its twentieth week, which, with the afternoon performances of it, will make its 130th representation. We understand Manager PURDY will shortly make an extensive addition to the theatre, and add to it a large and costly collection of curiosities, and at the same time change its name to that of the "National Museum." "Uncle Tom's Cabin," true to Mrs. STOWE's book, will be continued throughout the year 1853, every night, and every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. 5 December 1853 [Advertisement] UNCLE TOM'S CABIN AND LITTLE KATY, THE HOT CORN GIRL, AT THE NATIONAL THEATRE.—This afternoon at 2 o'clock will be presented for the first time on any stage, a new Drama in three Acts, from SOLON ROBINSON's celebrated story entitled Little Katy the Hot Corn Girl, carefully dramatized by C. W. TAYLOR, Esq., and said to be the most thrilling and instructive production,—Little CORDELIA HOWARD, the wonderful Eva, apearing as Little Katy. This piece will be performed, we understand, every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be performed in the evenings, with Mrs. G. C. HOWARD, the original Topsy, and will be continued, as the bills say, every night, and every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, until the 18th of July, 1854. 13 December 1853 [Advertisement] "Uncle Tom's Cabin," as presented at the National Theatre, and "Little Katy, the Hot Corn Girl," as also performed at the National Theatre, we would cheerfully recommend as being the best and most truthful dramatizations to be witnessed in the City. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been played at this popular theatre one hundred and forty-six times, without the introduction of any piece to support it. And it is now announced for every night, as well as every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, until July, 1854. "Little Katy, the Hot Corn Girl," so excellently produced at this theatre, has also created quite a sensation, and will be performed on the afternoons of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. These two pieces at the National Theatre are worth seeing, not burlesques on the stories from which they are taken. 14 December 1853 [Advertisement] "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN."—The correct and faithful version of this wonderful drama can only be witnessed at the National Theatre, where it has been played every night, and every Wednesday and Saturday, since the 18th of last July.

HOWARD, the original representative of Topsey at the National Theatre, where that lady has personated the character upwards of 250 times. She is certainly deserving of a good benefit, and we hope the admirers of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will not fail to give her their patronage either in the afternoon or evening, or both. On Monday afternoon and evening the new and grand Panorama of the Mississippi, which has cost the manager over $2,000, is to be exhibited to the public for the first and second times. 29 March 1854 [Advertisement] "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the new and grand Panorama of the Mississippi, at PURDY's National, must be the favorite of those seeking amusement for this evening.
