Return of an Old Favorite.v ' The Golden Dramatic Company 1 will appear at the Opera House on the evenings of the 29th and 30tli. p Our older citizens, who were play-. goers twenty-live years ago, will remember Mr. Martin Golden as a ] member of the McCauley, Golden 1 | Weaver Combination, which played several engagements at the o!d Metropolitan Hall, which stood where the » Odd Fellows Temple now stands on* St. Clair street, back in the 6U’s. Barney McCauley, or McAuley, as lie1 spelled it the latter days of his life,. was the leading man of the company;- Bella Golden the leading lady, Martin Golden the heavy man, Henry A.r Weaver the old man, McKee Rankin i 1 first walking gentlemen, C. R. Ers-kin second walking gentleman, Harry I Davis comedian, Mrs. H. A. Weaver 1 old ladv, and several others whose» I F 7 names we do not now remember. IW 1 IThis was a strong combination and played to good houses here, although f’ their engagements were for one and two weeks at a time. Barney Me-I Cauley everyone remembers, as he I appeared here only a short time be-» fore his death, as “Uncle Dan’l, the* ; Messenger from Jarvis Section,” andMcKee Rankin has gained quite a r eputation in “Rip Van Winkle” and j other plays. Mr. H. A. Weaver was h^re a few weeks since with Julia Marlowe, but Mr. Golden has not been here since he supported Mrs.* Lander, some eighteen years ago.’; He is the same splendid actor as onhis former visits, although time has frosted his brow, and carries a first-class company with him, in fact it is r said to be one of the best on the f road. Miss Emma Butler, who was with Elbe Klsler last season, as lead-, ing lady, and with George C. Boni.- i face the season before in the same ca-* pacity, is this year with Mr. Golden’s* company, filling the parts which haveheretofore been taken by* his must es-* tiinable wife, Mrs. Bella Golden, whoI | is confined to her home byf an injury ! I received in Texas last year. Mr.! Harry Robinson, the comedian, is a quaint character, original in every motion, word and action. He has captivated the houses throughout the season with the least apparent difliculty. j -1 He has been known to Mr. Golden ,* i since his childhood and is a favoritei w, of the old actor’s as well as in every j town and city where he appears..! A splendid orchestra and silver . band of twelve pieces accompanies i the troupe and will give a street parade each afternoon at 2 o'clock, and will execute a Knight of Pythias drill, i which is very fine.On Wednesday evening “Our Bachelors” will be presented *nd n*irsday evening 4lt;OJ
