Actor Edward Askew Sothern, who was known as Douglas Stewart in the early part of his career and possibly went by the initials E.A.
The performance of a new tragedy written by an American, female playwright is reviewed. It is to be performed at Wallack's theater and is called "Geraldine, or Love's Victory." The lead role is to be performed by Matilda Heron Stoepel, a respected actress. The playwright is unnamed, but the reviewer is optimistic about the show's attraction.
