FORMER ASSESSOR
 HAS INTERESTING
 STAGE MEMEN TOES
Possesses, Very Old Program on Which Nat GoodWin's
 Name Appeared.

Former Tax Assessor David Fenelon has among his collection of old the- atrzca1 programs some interesting me nentos of the earliest appearances on the stage of the famous actor, Nat c. Goodwin, who recently appeared in Bridgeport. MT. Goodwin's first, ap- pearance was as a light comedian in the character of Med Stryker'' in a sketch called His First Rehearsal
 MT. Feneqon has a program of a per formance he witnessed in the old Olympic Novelty theatre New York, of which the late Col william E. Sim was manager. In the cast with MT. aWIsh and Hattie Hastings, all de- ceased now. On the bill also was Miss Blanche Se1wyn, aunt of Edwin sel- wyn, the playwright and actor, and Joseph R. Grrismer, afterward famous as a playwright and actor, appeared in a sketch at the same performance.s
 Another program in the collection is of the old Theatre Comfaue, 514 Broad way. New York city. which was con- duced by Harrigan &. Hart. These fa- nous comedians, now dead, acted on the same bill with MT. Goodwin as did the late Dan Sully. This was on Nov. S6, 1876.
 On another program of the Wealth ersby-Goodwin Froliques, dated Nov IA, 1879. he is billed to appear in sketches with his first wife, the late Jennie Weathersby Although Mr. Goodwin for a number of years after his debut did not attempt serious parts in all these early programs he is billed to give an impersonation of such fa- mous, actors as Edwin Booth, Law renee Barrett, Charles Fletcher, Jo- seph Jefferson, John T. Raymond, , Stuart Robson Frank Mayo and oth~ CTS.
 The programs all in the collection are of performances which MT. Fen7 e1on witnessed himself.
