Mr.. Names +. Fuld, who has acceptably
acted the roles of HOrdtio Paris aud Duke
OrsiRo at Herzogs this week, is well-known
in this city He will be remembered by the
habitues of Abner's, where he was great
favorite. He is a promising actor.
The Nashville Banner says OF the min
strels who are to appear at Albaughs next
week: "Barlow, Wilson & Rankin's Min
strels were greeted at the Masonic Theatre
last night by an immense audience, even
the galleries being packed. 1t was the
largest crowd of. the season, and decidedly
the most enthusiastic. The performance
was very satisfactory, the house being kept
in a roar almost from the beginning TO the
end. Barlow, Wilson, Goodyear and Hall
were very amusing, aud the rest Of the
troupe acquitted themselves with much
credit. The songs were finely rendered and
encores were frequent. Barlow's stump
speech was greatly enjoyed, and George
Wilson's specialties provoked continued
laughter and prolonged applause. Good
year, Adams and Casey, in the musical me-
lee, were quite pleasing, and the antics of
TieIney and Wayne were most laughable
indeed. The buresque, Called Back,
concluded the evenings fun"

The Troy Standard, about Ford's attrac-
ton next week, says " Nothing has
given us greater pleasure in long time
than to chronicle the successful career of
that charming and talented little soubrette
actress, Myra Goodwin as Sis in Kidders
was made aware of the brilliant success of
the young artist in New York last August
through the press Of that city. 1t is now
putting it very mildly when we say she has
not only emphasized those very favorable
opinions. but has far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of her friends. She
is not only very pretty, but possesses ability
of the highest order as an actress, and it is
general conceded she is the most graceful
dancer upon the stage. The ladies particu-
larry seem to be as thoroughly captivated
by her performance as they have ever been
by either Joe Emmett or Mary Anderson.
Without doubt this little lady's fortune is
assured, and we heartily tender her our
congratulations.
Sc
"sis,n the play in which Myra Goodwin
appears, is said to be pretty and funny and
to afford great opportunities for the char
acter specialties for which she has become
noted.
