THE GoLDENs.
A verv Successful Dramatic Com
paRy.

The Goldens presented the emotional
drama The Martyr. at the opera house to
a small but well pleased audience. The
company is uniformly competent and pre-
acceptable manner.
At the matinee this afternoon The
Duchess, q sparkling comedy, will be
given and tonight The Manager, a new
play by W. Erhard Golden, will be given.
Ofthis play the Evansville. Ind, Daily
Journal, says: The piece is a comedy
drama in four acts. 1t is essentially
American in matter and treatment The
situations are at once dramatic and origi-
nal. The action is natural and the lang
uage bright, elegant and witty. The story
is of the separation of a mother and child
by poverty and circumstances. The
mother is an actress who in time acquires
wealth and fame. The son, now a young
man, feels himself lrresistably drawn to-
wards the actress, who dares not reveal
her identity for fear OF his reproaches on
account of her abandoning him. His APP
parent infatuation causes his betrothed to
cancel their engagement. This. together
with the current gossip, determines him
to marry the actress as a reparation for the
scandal occasloned. This proposal of
course draws the truth from the unhappy
mother and leads to a general explanation
and reconciliation. A very large and
critical audience received the play with
greatest enthusiasm.

from the waste of their camps. Costello
finally reached Butte, Mont, and was
sent back to Laramie. He is about 65
years old and at times appears sane.

the order In the United States, Mr.. Sam E.
Ryan. Mr.. Robert Rexdale was temporary
chairman, Mr.. Charles C. Tukesbury, treas
urer pro tenn, and Mr. Will C. Rich, secreta-
