    From here.

    Also, next left column, lower down, announces that General Grant would be attending Ford's Theater that night with the Lincolns -- which of course changed to Clara Harris and her fiance, Major Rathbone, at the last minute.

  3. Thanks for that Andy. And Pat - yes, you're correct...it is Our American Cousin. I guessed the ad guy missed the mark on this one.
