America, now as ever the land of wonders, has sent us a histrionic family named Howard, who, in a new version of Uncle Tom's Cabin, display talents as various in degree as in kind. Mr. Howard, the St. Clair of the piece is a well-looking gentleman, of no particular attributes; Mrs. Howard depicts Topsy with formidable truthfulness, giving a really genial representation of human nature in its most brutalized condition ; and Miss Cordelia Howard, a pretty little girl, with a sweet voice and an intelligent face, renders Eva the beau ideal of those pious young ladies whose immaculate lives (varying in length from five to seven years) and edifying deaths have so often furnished subjects to the Plutarchs of the Tract Society. These "stars" are situated even now at a considerable distance from London proper, namely, at the Marylebone Theatre.
