The Franklin Theatre was a theatre located at 175 Chatham Street (now Park Row) between James and Oliver Streets in Lower Manhattan, New York City, New York. A smaller venue with a seating capacity of five hundred and fifty people, it originally operated under the management of William E. Dinneford who leased the theater for the 1835-1836 season. It opened to the public on September 7, 1835 with a performance of The Golden Farmer; a hit production which was repeated more than one hundred times. It was initially known for its quality productions with strong actors. Mary Ann Duff was an early star at the venue. The Panic of 1837 had a negative impact on the theater, and the strength of its offerings began to decline. Marietta Judah gave her first performance in New York at the Franklin Theatre on October 12, 1840. In April 1841 the name of the venue was briefly changed to the Little Drury Theatre before becoming the Little Franklin Theatre in August 1841. At some point in the 1840s its name was changed to the Old Drury. During this period it offered variety theatre, minstrel show entertainments, and German language productions. It was converted into a dime museum along the lines of Barnum's American Museum and re-named the Franklin Museum in 1848. The museum and its theatre continued to operate until 1854; offering twice daily exhibitions and magic lantern shows. The exhibitions included "living statue" which were an excuse for audiences to view scantily dressed models. Its final performance was given on April 22, 1854. After this it was converted into a furniture store.

The Dump was a popular saloon and dive bar in New York City from the 1890s to about 1910. Owned by Jimmy Lee and Slim Reynolds, it was one of several establishments frequented by the underworld, most especially the Bowery Bums. It has been claimed that Tom Lee, head of the On Leong Tong, also ran the establishment at one time.Goat Hinch and Whitey Sullivan, who were executed in 1903 for the murder of Matthew Wilson during a bank robbery, were among its regular customers. It has been claimed that Hinch perfected a method of panhandling by "swallowing a concoction which would make him temporarily ill and arouse the sympathies of people in the street". The Dump was also one of the regular haunts of Chuck Connors, a longtime Tammany Hall political organizer in Chinatown.Like other dive bars, such as Patrick "Burly" Bohan's The Doctor's, The Dump provided sleeping quarters, or "velvet rooms", for its customers. But while Bohan's place and others usually provided cots, Lee and Reynolds made different arrangements, as described by Herbert Asbury in The Gangs of New York (1928), by screwing "short iron stanchions into the floor about seven feet from the rear wall, and into the wall affixed an iron framework. From the latter to the stanchions was a net of coarse rope, and when a bum passed out from dope or the effects of whiskey and camphor, he was simply tossed into the net to sleep it off".Frequent police raids and the general improvement of economic conditions prior to World War I caused The Dump and many other longtime low Bowery dive bars, as well as the Bowery Bums themselves, to gradually disappear by the turn of the 20th century.
