Broadside of 12" x 5 `1/2", blank backed. Engraving of Uncle Tom and Little Eva lower portion. Advetisement for a performance of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at English's Dramatic Lyceum Mechanic Hall (place not specified) on a Wednesday evening, Nov. 12. (presumably 1879). It trumpets "Mr. E.W. Beattie" as Uncle Tom and Little Helen as Eva; the rest of the cast is identified as well by their last names. The play was " interspersed with Singing and Dancing." with four musical numbers specified including "Old Folks At Home" sung by Uncle Tom. Some light staining here and there. A note on the presumed dating: E.W. Beattie was noted in December 1876 in "The Clipper" newspaper as having played in Uncle Tom at the Music Hall in Portland, Maine on Nov. 20-22; in the second paragraph from the bottom a performance of this company amd particularly Little Helen in Portland is noted as "the Greatest Dramatic Triumph ever Achieved in That City". November 12 was a Wednesday in 1879. In terms of location, it is possibly Worcester, Mass. but could be elsewhere.…
