Toledo Blade December 16, 1884 Twain and Cable, -- The audience that greeted these unique entertainers was not large, but it was an intelligent and discriminating one. Mr. Clemen's droll humor delivered in the funniest manner kept the audience in a constant giggle, and Mr. Cable's masterly delivery of striking extracts from his novel, "Dr. Sevier" held the hearers attention and carried them through the scenes of the imaginary recital. Mark Twain is a prime funny man and he is just as funny on the stage, in words, tones, gestures and attitudes, as he is in his books, and Mr. Cable is sure of being rated as an artiste in elocution as well as a fascinating novelist. The entertainment was undoubtedly greatly enjoyed by the people present, who were only sorry that it was not longer. I received an image of a clipping of this review from: Local History and Genealogy Department Toledo-Lucas County Public Library 325 N. Michigan Street Toledo, Ohio 43604 (419)259-5233 "I found 2 articles, one on the 15th and one on the 16th. The theaters did not have advertisements; those were all for merchants. The articles refer to Wheeler's which was known as Wheeler's Opera House. I checked our collection of theater programs but did not have any for Twain's appearance." http://bscottholmes.com/content/wheeler-opera-house-toledo-oh http://bscottholmes.com/content/promoting-huck-finn-twain-cable-tour-188485 -- There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. http://bscottholmes.com
