10 JANUARY 4, 1867 GRASS VALLEY UNION
FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1867
MARRIED. In Grass Valley, Jan. Ist, 1867, by Rev. Mr. Chapin, Mr. EDWIN DREW to Miss JULIA
BRAY, both of the above place.
HAMILTON HALL .—Little Barefoot was played on Wednesday night, to a large audience. The
piece itself has but little merit, and the principal character, in the hands of any but Miss Kingsbury,
would have been simply a bore. As the Little Barefoot, however, Miss Alice Kingsbury made a good hit
and was warmly applauded. Mr. McCullough, in the role of Johannes, made as much of the character as
was possible. We have seen Hans played with less spirit than Barry threw into it on Wednesday night.
Anderson’s Fried was, as usual good. And, taken as a whole, the troupe gave more merit to the piece than
it really possessed. Last night the Cricket on the Hearth and Nan, the Good for Nothing were presented
to another full house. Dot, like Fanchon, is Miss Kingsbury’s specialty, and she should have the sole right
to play both these pieces. Her acting is so natural that the oftener you see her the more fascinated you
become with her. Miss Denin’s Bertha, Mr. McCullough’s John Perrybingle, and the rest of the characters
were generally well sustained. To-night the elfin Star takes a benefit, on which occasion she appears as
Juliet to Mr. McCullough’s Romeo. Those who desire to obtain even standing room in the theater, tonight, had better be on hand early, as we feel confident that the house will be filled to its utmost capacity.
TWO NIGHTS MORE.—We now have the assurance of the ladies that the Fair and Festival in aid
of the Orphan Asylum will be re-opened, at Hamilton Hall, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings next,
the 9th and 10th inst. There are a number of articles remaining undisposed of, for which tickets have
been sold, and it is for the purpose of disposing of the remaining tickets and raffling those goods, that
the festival is re-commenced. There will be dancing on Wednesday night, and on Thursday evening the
affair will wind up with a grand free soiree. We have no doubt but that Hamilton Hall will be crowded on
both evenings.
SOCIAL BALL.—C. H. Wagner, proprietor of the New York Hotel, on Main street, intends giving
a social ball, to come off to-morrow night. The price of admission is fixed at one dollar, and Wagner
promises a good time to all who attend the dance. See his advertisement.
