which they have fitted up in a style and elegance unsurpassed this side

2463 - H&G Apr. 24:2/3 - Cleveland Theatre. We do not pay much attention
to theatricals, but in justice to Mr. Marsh, who made his debut as a
manager last evening before a Cleveland audience, we would state that
he has fitted up the Italian Hall in a style far superior'to previous
seasons, and that the performances last evening were well received, by
a full and respectable house. Good order, and excellent stage propriety
obtained throughout. (verbatim) (1)
2464 - H&G Apr. 26:2/3 - Mr. Marble, last evening at the Cleveland
Theatre, kept a large audience in a roar of laughter, in the character
of "Jonathan Ploughboy." Down easters "guess" he is about equal to
Hill as a "kalkerlating Yankee," and we noticed his "William" caused the
"old salts" to show "misty top'-lights" occasionally. (verbatim) (1)
2465 - H&G May 2: 2/3 - To-night is Marble's last at the Cleveland Theatre.
If you have a relish for humor be there. With Marble as a Yankee, and
Winans, with his rich Irish brogue and wit, there will he lots of fun.
