TIE GoLDENazTEoupE.-Monday morn
ing's train brought the Golden Troupe to
our town from Alexandria, and the compa-
ny played in Phoenix Hall four nights to
unusually good houses. The plays pre-
sented were e.Planter'sssWife," Daughter
of the Regiment, -" Fate, or Rose Cottage"
and "Forget-Me-Not," one each evening
in the order named, the farce "Dodging
for Wife being added to the programme
Tuesday night The troupe created an ex-
ceedingly favorable impression and is pro-
nounced by all who attended the perform
anees one of the very best that has visited
our town. The manager and leading actor,
Mr.. Martin Golden, is a most} agreeable,
accomplished and courteous gentleman,
who can not fail to win good will and COM
mendation, on and OFF the stage, wherever
he goes. Bella Golden, the leading lady of
the troupe, is charming, talented and YER
satile actress, who proved ssherself equally
good in emotional drama, comedy and
operetta, and fairly captured. the audience
at each performance. Her singing elected
hearty encomiums and is most agreeable
feature of her representations. Miss En-
ma Butler Crisp, Mrs. j. Nj. Rodi and Miss
Emma Purcell among the ladies of the
company, and Messrs. Frank Coy, j. FL.
Cook, and Will Tucker among the gentle
men merit special mention for their ability
and talent, while the brass band and Or
;hestra, under the leadership of Professor
J. Nd. Rodi, can be truthfully said to be
Of the finest order and one of the most at
tractive adjuncts of this fine company. Mr..
iolden's young son and little daughter
we're both indisposed during their stay here,
hence we were denied the privilege of see
ng them On the stage. These children are
said to possess degree of dramatic talent
luase remarkable in such young persons.
The Goldens left yesterday morning for
where they were to perform
asst night and tonight, and thence they go
o Baton Rouge to open two weeks en-
yagement Monday evening. We bespeak
or them cordial reception wherever they
appear, and trust they will redeem their
promise to visit US again at no distant day.
