ORIGINAL LITTLE EVA
Is NOW 73 YEARS OLD
Cordelia Howard Mcdonald Observes
Anniversary at Home In Cam
bridge, Mass.

Mrs. Cordelia Howard Macdonald,
tie original Little Eva Of the first dra-
matte production OF Uncle Toms
Cabin" had a birthday Wednesday at
her home IN Cambridge, Mass.
Thinking back over sixty-nine
years, one visualizes the Little Eva Of
those days as an elderly woman today.
She will lie more concerned with com
fort and retirement than other things,
one thinks, and perhaps her memory
will have to be logged to get many Of
the details OF her interesting life.
Mrs. Macdonald Is 49, SIe made
her debut as Little Eva at at the Mu
scum. Troy. N. Y, on September ~
1852. Her father George c. Howard,
then manager of the Museum was in
strumental in having Uncle Toms
Cabin" dramatizeG. arc Iave the first
performance IN his theatre taking a
part himself, that of St Clair the
Southern planter. it is said, too, that
the play was dramatized to display
the abilities of little Cordelia, which
we're marked at her age.
II Mrs. Macdonald is 73 she does
not look It. The personality which
moved audiences is still retained prac-
tically undimmished by the original
Little Eva. II is rather a wiful one,
certainly determined, but charming
Her crown OF hair is white and the
kind that sets off her fine eyes.
The cast OF Uncle Toms Cabin as
prcduced by TIE Howards was largely
a family affair. Mrs. Howard played
Topsy. and Mrs. tIoward's mother
Mrs. Emily Fox was Ophelia Two
nephews OF Mrs. Fox, George and
Frank Aiken, also had parts, and to
George Aiken fell the task of drama.
