“At Banvard’s Opera House, a dramatization of Dickens’ ‘Mutual Friend: or, Found Drowned’ has been on the boards during the week.  Those who have had read the novel and who have not cannot better show they appreciate it than by going to see this play, which is produced with new scenery, mechanical effects and all necessary paraphernalia. The Mammoth Cave, previously described in the SUN, is daily visited by admiring and wondering crowds.”
