Gilded Age Drama to Spotlight John T Raymond in Joliet
John T Raymond arrives in Joliet on Thursday May 28 1878 starring in Mark Twain's Gilded Age with his portrayal of Colonel Mulberry Sellers. The piece notes the show as a rare opportunity for region theater lovers and emphasizes its metropolitan quality. It also references a Indianapolis Journal critique of a Hancock County county commissioner who bought his way into Van Amburgh’s circus and comments on meanness and the plight of poor boys unable to afford admission. Additionally the text extols Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as a tonic for nervous debility tied to digestive disorders and blood health.
