Announcement: New-York Daily Tribune, 18 April 1870, 5.

Full cast list. “…The ‘Edwin Booth Dramatic Union’ is well named and seems to be well organized. Persons desirous of joining the Union are invited to communicate with Mr. J. P. McDonough… Well-conducted societies of this kind do a certain amount of good, in giving experimental opportunity to untried aspiration for the actor’s laurels, and—occasionally—in sending recruits to the regular stage.”
