Then and now Tom Thumb at Bull's Opera House

Executive Editor Edward P. Dougherty recalls Middletown’s centennial week tale of Tom Thumb and the Liliputian troupe visiting Bull's Opera House on West Main Street. Descriptions note a brisk arrival, a bustling daytime procession, and strong public interest though no evening review survived. The piece highlights Tom Thumb age 35, height 3 feet 4 inches, weight 70 pounds, with Lavinia as his wife and Minnie Warren as a sister of Mrs Thumb. The London Times praised the ladies of the troupe, while the Evening Press emphasized the wonder of the day’s events and the rarity of such entertainment.
