30 September 1852

  The Museum was again crowded last evening to witness the play of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The Manager made a successful hit when he brought it out, and he deserves credit for the manner in which he has put it upon the stage.


1 October 1852

  "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is up for this evening again. It is the best play that has been brought out on the Museum boards for a long time. Manager Howard is reaping a fine harvest from it. Go and see the play.


2 October 1852

  "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is having a great run at the Museum. It is a splendid play.


5 October 1852

  "Uncle Tom's Cabin" still attracts crowds at the Museum.


6 October 1852

  Mr. G L Aiken, of the Museum Company, is dramatizing the second volume of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and it will soon be brought out.


12 October 1852

  "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is up for tonight at the Museum again. We need not remind out readers that if they wish to secure seats they had better engage them early.


16 October 1852

  "Uncle Tom's Cabin" continues to draw good houses at the Museum. The piece has now had a most successful run of three weeks, and would undoubtedly take well for another week. The piece has taken better with our play goers than any ever offered at the Museum.


19 October 1852

  "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is still being successfully played at the Museum.


22 October 1852

  This favorite drama is still witnessed with pleasure by large audiences each evening. It will be played but two nights more, and as it will not be again revived this season, all who have not seen the play should not fail to attend tonight, and those who have already witnessed it, can do so again with pleasure, as it is one of those pieces which can be seen several times without loss of interest.


23 October 1852

  This is the last night of the representation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at the Museum. Do not fail to see it. We understand that Mr. G. L. Aiken has dramatised the second volume of the work, and that it will be produced next week.


25 October 1852

  "Little Eva"—We are pleased to notice that the Manager of the Museum has set apart this evening for the benefit of "Little Eva." She appears in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and in Warlock of the Glen. Little Cordelia as "Little Eva" has been the chief attraction in the drama of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which has had such a successful run for the last four weeks, and by her truthful, child-like representation, has won the hearts of all our citizens. In the course of the scenes in which she appears, one can scarcely believe that little Cordelia is really Little Eva, so truthfully does she perform her part. We doubt not the house will be filled to overflowing this evening, as all desire to pay her a compliment. She beats all youthful prodigies, la petites, &c., that we have ever seen.


26 October 1852

  Another New Drama! on the subject of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," By Harriet Beecher Stowe, Dramatised by G L Aiken, The Death of Uncle Tom, or Religion of the Lowly.


27 October 1852

  The "Death of Uncle Tom" was produced last night for the first time at the Museum. Every one speaks in the highest terms of the production, and it will doubtless meet with the same success as did "Uncle Tom."


2 November 1852

  The "Death of Uncle Tom" is still being played at the Museum. It is having a good run.


5 November 1852

  The "Death of Uncle Tom" will be played for this week only at the Museum. We would advise all who have not witnessed this drama to go and see it.


12 November 1852

  Notwithstanding the opposition encountered by bad weather, election excitement, and amusements generally, the "Death of Uncle Tom" has drawn good houses for the past three weeks, and has pleased and delighted all who have witnessed it. It is even considered by some as superior to "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Manager Howard has composed two gems of songs,—one of which is sung by him, and the other by Mr Germon. The play will be repeated this and tomorrow evenings only, and all who have not seen it would do well to avail themselves of this opportunity.


13 November 1852

  The "Death of Uncle Tom" will be performed for the last time at the Museum this evening, and all who have not seen it should make sure of this opportunity.


15 November 1852

  Grand Combination of the Two Dramas on the same evening. The Last Week of Uncle Tom's Cabin, or Life Among the Lowly, and Death of Uncle Tom, or Religion of the Lowly.


16 November 1852

  Museum.—Last evening this favorite place of resort was crowded by a highly respectable audience to witness the representation of both dramas in Uncle Tom's Cabin. Little Cordelia as "Little Eva" played with more than her accustomed truthfulness, and all were deeply affected. She seems to have improved after the brief respite she has lately had. The part of George Harris has lost its best delineator, G. L. Aiken, and the company an efficient member. Mr. Aiken is now playing at the National Theatre, Boston. Both dramas will be repeated again this evening.


18 November 1852

  The Museum is still crowded by large and respectable audiences to witness "Uncle Tom's Cabin" complete. Manager Howard never made a more successful hit than when he produced a dramatic version of Mrs Stowe's popular work. It has been witnessed each evening for the past eight weeks by our citizens and each time with increased delight.


20 November 1852

  Museum—This is the forty eighth evening of the performance of the drama of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"!—and we believe the last of its representations for the present. If there are any of our citizens who have not seen this beautiful play, we advise them to make sure of this evening. The time spent will never be regretted.


23 November 1852

  The Museum is still the magnet of attraction for pleasure-goers, and is thronged nightly with large and fashionable audiences. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" complete continues to move on the current of public favor, and is now in the glory of its fifty-first performance. Little Cordelia wins new laurels each evening in her representation of Little Eva, and Mr. Germon takes a benefit tomorrow evening. Who says the house will not be crowded? We do not, for we believe the public understand too well his many good qualities, both as a gentleman and an actor, to withhold from him that support and encouragement which he so richly merits.


29 November 1852

  The drama of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" complete is announced for the Museum for only three nights more. On Thursday evening the bill of performance will be changed— for the first time in ten weeks. Those of our citizens who have not seen this beautiful and affecting play, should embrace the present opportunity, as we understand it will not be reproduced again this season.


20 April 1853

  The country people are now coming in very numerously each night to witness the representation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at the Museum. Last evening the house was crowded with them.


22 April 1853

  My Old Kentucky Home—by Steven C. Foster—this his new song, surpasses all of his former efforts.


23 April 1853

  There is no "let-up" to the rush at the Museum to witness "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The Museum Treasury is supposed to be running over.


25 April 1853

  Manager Howard has announced "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for another week. We are told that parties from Rutland, Vermont, Berlin and all the neighboring towns, are nightly coming in to witness its representation. Great play, that Uncle Tom's Cabin!


28 April 1853

  "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is still being performed at the Museum. It is remarkably well played here—each member of the company appearing to be especially adapted to the part be or she sustains. Charley Fox is decidedly great in his character. He is rapidly improving, and is a great favorite with the pleasure-goers.


2 May 1853

  "Uncle Tom" still draws crowds at the Museum. Numbers of Albanians visit the place every night to witness the performance.


5 May 1853

  This is the last week of "Uncle Tom" at the Museum. The play still has a successful run. It has filled the treasury of the establishment with cash, and the eyes of thousands of spectators with tears.
