Description

This print is a playbill for performances on Saturday Evening, Oct. 2nd, at McVicker's Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. It lists the casts of the tragedy "Lucretia Borgia" and the Yankee drama "Sam Patch in France." The prices for admission are listed at the bottom of the playbill. This playbill is a duplicate of 71.2009.081.2208 with the exception of the bottom of the playbill. Instead of the prices for admission being listed, there is a notice that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be performed on Monday evening with new scenery "and the entire Company will appear for two nights only."
