Miss Charlotte Cushman and Edwin Booth gave ten performances at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, commencing Dec. 31, 1860. They played Wolsey and Queen Katherine in “Henry VIII.,” Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Shylock and Portia, Katherine and Petruchio, to crowded houses. Miss Cushman observed, “that, judging from Mr. Booth's rehearsal of Macbeth, he had a refined and very intellectual conception of the character; but she begged him to remember that Macbeth was the grandfather of all the Bowery villains.” (153)

At Philadelphia some months later he played Macbeth, to the Lady Macbeth of Miss Charlotte Cushman, for the benefit of the Woman's Branch of the United States Sanitary Commission, raising upwards of thirteen hundred dollars for the fund. (157)
