ECHOES OF GOLDEN
 GULCH EXCELLENT
Many Compliments of Amateur Production of the
 Past Week.

Patrick's Church, a few remarks, con cerniue the players as well as of the play itself seem Go be ia order
 Judging from the many oninion5, freely expressed by such who are we'll able Co act in the "aDacty of judge or critic, the results of the pre-, sentation of the above play gave gen ! eral satisfaction to the local patrons and lovers Of good clean and anu sing entertainments.
 The play as a whole. and the gen eral bearing delivery Of the individual player was an agreeable surprise sur passing the expectations of a large number ot patrons
 A great amount of praise and ere dit must be accorded to all who SO actively and energeucally participat' ed in the production and presentation of this play For it must be borne in mind that this play was rehearsed and presented by people who live here in our midst by people who are en-I cumbered and hampercd with numer-I ous onerous duties, and who must give their time and labor Co their daily pursuits in order Go be able to meet the obligations eXacted for them, in their respective situations. In short this entertainment was given by people. wuo under existing coudi- tious, could give only, and did gladly and willingly give, the full amount of their spare time and other eNtraordi nary efforts, with view and in the hope. Of successfully presenting to the people Of Bisboe am entertainmeut worthy and deserving oi their recog- nitiou and appreciation.
 In reference to the players, it may we'll be said, that aI without eNcep- ton. came up to the standard Of aver age amateur playing, and while some may have carried away more honors than others, because of perhaps. a bet. ter talent, or because of their role, presenting better opportunities for playing to advantage, or because of any other reason whatever. great share of credit and praise belongs Co each and all, for their aid rendered, to make the play pleasant and sat isfactOry entertainment
 Special mention may be made of Jos. Eldou, in the role Of O'Goougan. the justice of the peace The comedy inc displayed in the various scenes with the different characters was meh class and held the attention ot the entire house. And in the third act as the Judge and the attorney for both the prosecution and Che de- ieuse, his performance kept his auul- once in upr0ar and commanded ap- plause to Che end
 Thos. B Dowrich in the role of "The Government Scout played Co great advantage. showing remarkable ability in a role. which requires cool ness and calmuess in manner. yet determination and snappy action in critical situations
 George Eeardon in the role of "The Gentleman Crook proved Co his many friends his abilities as a stage performer and to critical observer . it becomes apparent at once. that . George is right at home' on the stage and handles his part with freedom and ease. A professional handling the same role, could scarcely add Go the ameiiOratiou of his playing
 Dr. G. Craig held the attention of the audience in the role of the Dude. " . He appeared in his usual brilliant form and played up to his old time standard. In the scenes with Jess his 'dudish" language, manners and bearing gained for him a vast share . of attention and well-merited ap pIause
 Thomas Kelly, in the role of "Bron cho Bill" the western tough. played his part to such a degree of perfec ton that he was easily accorded tho title of bad man.. and the people apparently held in store for him tn, corresponding sentiments.
 The two Meytrs brothers. Loui, ! and Doyle in the roles respectiyel! [ of the Chinamau and the Negro mer ] ited great praise for their we'll direct ed efforts and their success in show ing up simultaneously some of tn, | ~'Nh NhlilNAer ANNblll pan ili- Intn0
 somewhat distinctNeIy special roles Ralph Brown portrayed very eff ! ciently the role of the Jew peddler
 He needs no introduction as he i
 quite a favorite among his man
 trends In his vocal rendition he ot
 tained the applause of his entire aud enCe.
 The remaining roles perhaps of les
 importance, though equally necessary ! were an well impersonaJed. Mri ! Heidelberg deserves special uotic
 for her efficiency displayed in the rol of the "old maid" While Sue Mt | Dermott and Margaret McCurker di ' tinguished themselves in the roles ( i Mrs Maggie and her niece, respe ! lively.
 Whatever may be said of amateJ
 material, the performers In the Col
