Dissolution Reported In Drew & Co Dime Museum Syndicate
A dispute between partners Frank M. Drew and John O'Donnell, of Cleveland and Providence respectively, led to a planned dissolution and a petition for an accounting and receiver. Later statements by Sackett and partners said the business will continue as before with Sackett retaining control of the Indianapolis Museum and all acts of the past to be dismissed. The Indianapolis venue remains home to acts like the fat woman, the lean man, the Chinese giant, the Hindoo snake charmer, and the clown elephant.
