Entertaining Evansville: The
Golden Legacy
By Peggy K. Newton
The Golden Family saga began when 25-year-old
Martin Golden, an Irish immigrant, met 18-year-old
Emma Isabella Llewellyn, also an immigrant, of Welsh-
English parentage. Martin still had family in the east,
but Bella was an orphan. Her mother and three other
family members had died of cholera in St. Louis, leaving
Bella and her father. Her father worked as a doorman at
the Pine Street Theater where Bella was allowed to play
backstage. She made her first onstage appearance at age
10 and occasionally thereafter appeared in the shows.
When her father died in 1858, Kate Reignolds, wife of
the theater’s manager, took in the small girl and gave her
the professional name of Bella Llewellyn since her own
daughter was also named Emma.
Martin, in the meantime, had become acquainted
with Ben DeBar, who managed theaters in St. Louis and
New Orleans and talked his way into an acting job. In
1860 DeBar took over management of the Pine Street
Theater, and that’s how Martin and Bella met. Both
were now experienced actors, and with DeBar’s company,
traveled up and down the Mississippi River. They
were in New Orleans when the Civil War broke out and
barely escaped from the Crescent City before reaching
St. Louis, where they were married on August 25, 1861.
After their first child, Martin Thaddeus, was born in
Cleveland, Bella remembered some friends she’d made
during a visit to New Harmony before she’d met Martin.
She had also been impressed by the small, peaceful

town on the banks of
the Wabash. It seemed
to be a good place to
leave her son in the care
of her trusted friends.
With the war in full
force in 1863 William
Holland saw opportunity
in the form of
the old Masonic Hall
at Main and First
Streets. He leased the
hall, which became
the home of his stock
company for at least
one year. His company
proved to be successful,
as was the company
that followed in the
same venue, the Gross
and Nash stock company
in the late summer
of 1864. Martin
Bella Golden (1842-1919) was
the matriarch (and star) of the
Golden family, who settled in
New Harmony, Indiana. Photos

Golden, who had last performed in Evansville in 1859
with the Ryan & Rouse dramatic company, took notice.
Running their own theater company in Evansville for a
couple of years or so would give him and Bella a break
from traveling and allowed Bella more time with her son.
In partnership with F.R. Pierce, Golden leased the
Masonic Hall in November 1864. Pierce and Golden
gave the old building a new paint job, built a stage
along with new scenery, and opened to great success on
December 21, completing their first winter season on
March 30.

The Maturity Journal is a monthly publication designed to
inform and entertain mature citizens in Vanderburgh and
Warrick Counties. The magazine was founded in 1986
by George Earle Eaton with the intention of serving (in
his words) “those old enough to know they don’t have
all the answers, and young enough to still be searching
for them.”

Martin Golden (1835-1915) managed
the Golden travelling acting
company from 1875 to 1890.
From March 30 to April 21 a
comedy group took over, after which
the regular spring-summer season
commenced. The regular stock company

of such well-known actors as Emma
Waller, Mollie Williams and Felix
A. Vincent. Golden managed the
Masonic Hall through May 1865. As
the summer drove up thermometers
and the humidity, the company shut
down and members of the acting
troupe took their summer vacations.
Martin Golden figured that
Evansville could support yet a larger,
better theater to bring in more
expensive entertainment. He knew
that the city needed a true, honest-to-goodness
theater. He also
knew he couldn’t afford to build
one. He took out a lease on the old
Apollo/Mozart Hall, added a large
stage with boxes on either side of the
proscenium, and created additional
scenery and machinery to accommodate
the refurbished theater. Frescos
and comfortable chairs brought a
little more comfort and ambience to
the city’s second oldest building. The
renamed New Metropolitan Theater
opened formally to the public on
September 23, 1865. Martin and
Bella led the stock company of 21
players with a team of actors/stage
managers, orchestra director, treasurer,
scenic artist, machinist, and
master of properties. Golden was
general manager.
Looking back nearly 20 years
later (June 6, 1883), the Evansville
Journal examined the programs of
the shows presented at the New
Metropolitan, beginning with the
first opening bill, The Child of the
Regiment and Katty O’Shiel, both
featuring Bella Golden. Martin
Golden’s announcement at the
opening programs was, to say the
least, formal:

Over the next two years the
New Metropolitan brought in notable
actors of the day such as Fannie
B. Prince and Mr. D. Hanchett, Mr.
C.W. Couldock and his daughter
(apparently without a name), Mrs.
F. Graham, Emma Waller, M.B.
Macauley and Rachael Johnson (who
later married Mr. Macauley), Miss
Blanche De Bar (Rosalind in As You
Like It, not a Hoosier version of A
Streetcar Named Desire). Wesley —
not Harold — Hill played Macbeth
on December 19, 1866. The number
of programs began to decrease,
and when the theater closed for the
summer on June 1, 1867, it never
reopened.
Martin Golden took the company
on tour, to Henderson,
Mt. Vernon, Paducah, and Cairo
(Illinois), intending to return for
the winter season. By now he knew
that Evansville’s first true theater was
about to become reality. He received
word that J. Newton Gotthold had
secured the lease on the new opera
house that was nearing completion
at the corner of First and Locust
Streets. Perhaps he sensed that his
theater could not compete against
the new, which was designed specifically
for theatrical events on a grand
scale, or at least grand enough for an
opera company.
Golden revised his plans and
headed south. His players spent the
winter months in Nashville and
Little Rock. Although Martin and
Bella continued to spend their summers
in New Harmony, and eventually
made it their permanent home.
They performed in Evansville only
three more times, twice in 1874
and for three performances for the
Hibernian Society in March 1876.
Frances (or Francis) Golden (1877-
1963) had a successful career on the
stage in New York and Chicago.
She returned to New Harmony and

sor in Brooklyn, New York. Both
sisters continued to pursue work
on the stage. Grace, in particular,
showed promise of becoming one
of America’s great opera stars and
had joined the Metropolitan Opera
after co-starring with Lillian Russell
in musical comedy. Her health was
poor, however, and she died in 1903
at age 36.
After Frances graduated high
school in New Harmony, she went
to New York to study voice. She
stayed with her uncle, Tim Golden,
a detective in New York City.
Raymond Hitchcock, a huge stage
star in the early 1900s and a friend
of her parents, got Frances a role in a
traveling company of Bob White out
of Philadelphia. Evansville was one
of the stops on the tour. Another
show business legend, producer and
impressario Sam Shubert, cast her
in The Chinese Honeymoon in New
York, which led to a three-year touring
schedule. Frances was well on her
way to the big time!

Pass the Biscuits
Received via email from Judy Stock, MJ reader
When I was a kid, my mom liked
to make breakfast food for dinner
every now and then. And I remember
one night in particular when she
had made breakfast after a long, hard
day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my
mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage
and extremely burned biscuits in
front of my dad. I remember waiting
to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my
dad did was reach for his biscuit,
smile at my mom and ask me how
my day was at school. I don't remember
what I told him that night, but I
do remember watching him smear
butter and jelly on that biscuit and
eat every bite!
When I got up from the table
that evening, I remember hearing
my mom apologize to my dad for
burning the biscuits. And I'll never
forget what he said: "Honey, I love
burned biscuits."
Later that night, I went to kiss
Daddy good night and I asked him
if he really liked his biscuits burned.
He wrapped me in his arms and said,
"Your Momma put in a hard day at
work today and she's real tired. And
besides — a little burnt biscuit never
hurt anyone!"
Life is full of imperfect things......
and imperfect people. I'm not the
best at hardly anything, and I forget
birthdays and anniversaries just like
everyone else. But what I've learned
over the years is that learning to
accept each other’s faults — and
choosing to celebrate each other’s
differences — is one of the most
important keys to creating a healthy,
growing, and lasting relationship.
We could extend this to any
relationship. In fact, understanding
is the base of any relationship, be it
a husband-wife or parent-child or
friendship!
"Don't put the key to your happiness
in someone else's pocket —
keep it in your own."
God Bless You… Now, and
Always....
So Please pass me a biscuit, and
yes, the burnt one will do just fine!!!

Is it too late to protect our life
savings if my spouse needs
at-home medical care, or is
admitted to a nursing home?
Clients often ask this question while meeting with me
to discuss concerns about the cost of long-term care. Many
clients assume that their life savings must be depleted on the
cost of at-home care or nursing home care, which undoubtedly
results in a general sense of anxiety.
I often meet with clients who have been paying out of
pocket for at-home care or nursing home care for months,
or even years! It is important for the healthy spouse and the
family to know that many options exist to protect most, or
even all, of the life savings. It is never too late to protect the
life savings, no matter how long one has paid out of pocket
for at-home care or nursing home care. The purpose of this
article is to let spouses and their families know that they
do not have to walk alone while navigating the stressful,
often-misunderstood, confusing arena of “at-home” or
Maturity Journal
“nursing home” Medicaid planning.
I have a dedicated team of Medicaid planners and support
staff whose sole focus is to walk clients through the
entire Medicaid eligibility process, from beginning until the
end, as long as that may take. In cases where one spouse is
in a nursing home and one remains at home, we can often
protect all of the life savings, along with the home. In order
to achieve maximum asset protection, my team will develop
a personalized plan based on the client’s unique situation.
We must also take into consideration that assets must
not just be protected now, but also in the event that that
healthy, at-home spouse passes away before his or her “nursing
home” spouse. While the team of Medicaid planners is
working on preserving assets, my estate planning team will
be drafting new estate planning documents which serve to
protect the life savings and home from having to go to the
nursing home or to Medicaid if the healthy spouse passes
away first.
It’s never too late to protect the life savings and home. If
you or your loved one are faced with needing at-home medical
care or nursing home care soon, or are already receiving
such care, please consider calling or texting my office at
812–423-1500 to request a free consultation with my team
to discuss how we can help.

I asked one of my friends who
has crossed 70 and is heading for 80
what sort of changes he is feeling in
himself? He sent me the following
very interesting advice.
• After loving my parents, my
siblings, my spouse, my children, my
friends, now I have started loving
myself.
• I just realized that I am not
Atlas. The world does not rest on my
shoulders.
• I now stopped bargaining with
vegetable and fruit vendors. A few
pennies more is not going to burn a
hole in my pocket, but it might help
the poor fellow save for his daughter’s
school fees.

Sent from Judith Stock, MJ reader
• I pay my waitress a big tip. The
extra money might bring a smile to
her face. She is toiling much harder
for a living than I did.
• I stopped embarrassing the
elderly by telling them that they've
already told that story many times.
The story makes them enjoy walking
down memory lane and reliving the
past.
• I have learned not to correct
people even when I know they are
wrong. The onus of making everyone
perfect is not on me. Peace is more
precious than perfection.
• I give compliments freely and
generously. Compliments are a mood
enhancer not only for the recipient,
but also for me. And a small tip
for the recipient of a compliment:
never, NEVER turn it down, just say
"Thank You"
• I have learned not to bother
about a crease or a spot on my
shirt. Personality speaks louder than
appearances.
• I walk away from people who
don't value me. They might not know
my worth, but I do.
• I remain cool when someone
plays dirty to outrun me in the rat
race. I am not a rat and I’m not in a
race.
• I am learning not to be embarrassed
by my emotions. It’s my emotions
that make me human.
• I have learned that it's better
to drop the ego than to break a
relationship. My ego will keep me
aloof, whereas with relationships I
will never be alone.
• I have learned to live each day
Page 12 December 2020

as if it's the last. After all, it might be
the last.
• I am doing what makes me
happy. I am responsible for my
happiness, and I owe it to myself.
Happiness is a choice. You can be
happy at any time; just choose to be!

This bakery was founded in 1925 by three brothers in Illinois. They
delivered their bread in Model-T trucks and over the next 20 years,
expanded their business by acquiring bakery buildings and trucks
in that area. By the 1950s the
company had expanded into
other areas of the Midwest and
patented the name “Bunny
Bread,” with bread wrappers
featuring a cartoon rabbit and
the slogan “That’s what I said,
Bunny Bread.” What is the
name of this company that came
to Evansville in 1964 and began
operations in the old Hartford

The Mis-Adventures of
Bob Hollis
Life on 5th Avenue
by Bob Hollis, MJ reader
When I was growing up, World War II was in full
swing, and the adults were busy with work and whatever
else adults did during those days. My brother Jim and
I were often left to our own devices, so we found lots of
ways to entertain ourselves and keep us busy. We lived
in town at 5th Avenue and Columbia in those days and
had lots of buddies that we ran around with.
In order to help us on our adventures, we decided
we needed an “escape hatch”, so we made one in our
old garage. There was only one door leading out of the
garage and we needed another route, in case we were
attacked by Indians. Now, the garage wasn’t much
more than an old shed, but my mom and dad used it for
storage. One day, Jim and I cut a hole in the roof that
could open, allowing us to crawl through and escape for
our adventures, then we would lay the roof piece back
down to go unnoticed by our parents– for a time.
When I was 8 or 9, a bunch of us kids would walk to
the Columbia Theater almost every Saturday, and most
of us would spend almost the whole day at the theater
watching old cowboy movies. Sometimes I would go
with the neighbor girl, Mary (she thought I was something
special). Tickets were 12 cents, and popcorn and
a coke were 5 cents each. There were times when we

did not have enough money to get
in and also buy a drink and popcorn,
so, I would stand off to the side and
Mary would hold a nickel and some
pennies in her hand and would ask
passersby to give her enough money
to get into the theater. She would
do this until she had enough money
to take both of us to the show with
a ticket, popcorn and a drink. (We
were a regular Bonnie & Clyde.)
One of the places we loved to
hang out was on the old railroad
bridge north of the Maryland Street
bridge. We would jump off the
bridge into Pigeon Creek and swim.
It was pretty rocky as the water was
shallower in the summer, but we
somehow managed to survive.
Life was slower paced in those
days, but we managed to keep entertained
with our many adventures.

Pet Peeve
Visit janceys.blogspot.com
Pet peeve, what kind of word is that? I mean, really?
It sounds like some small thing that should be walked
on a leash. I looked it up; it means a frustrating and
irritating annoyance. With that being said, my hubby's
"pet peeve" is when the children come into the kitchen,
open the refrigerator door and stare lovingly into it. Of
course, they survey the interior and then go to the freezer
and repeat the process. After the freezer, they move in a
circle to the cabinets, check out the boxed goods supply
(cereal) and then inevitably go back to the refrigerator.
What do they do? They open the door and again stare
into it like something has changed in one circle of the
kitchen. Now, really? This drives my hubby right up the
wall — all of that cool air escaping into the humid kitchen.
(Who's paying for that wasted electricity?)
Well, years ago I tried coming up with different
solutions to this problem. My first idea was to get a dry
erase board with magnets for the fridge so that I could
put the "menu" on it and the kids wouldn't have to ponder
so long. Think about it, right by the door handle of
the fridge is a list of possibilities. This worked pretty well
for awhile. It definitely reduced the amount of gazing.
But over time, the grandkids doodled on the board, the
pen dried up and an eraser disappeared. For a while, this
wasn't too bad, however the hubby still grumbled.
Because I'm one of those over-organized list-makers,
my next idea was to make a list of current dishes and then
leftovers or possibilities on the island in the center of the
kitchen. I love that island; it was one of our best investments.
After a little bit of training, the kids got used to
looking at my list, even though it didn't stop the inevitable
question of "Mom, what's to eat?" But it worked and
gave them a "purpose" when they were gazing.
Keeping with the theme of refrigeration, here's an
easy dessert/salad that is simple and is great for holidays
or pot lucks. It's one of my dad's favorites that mother
used to make for the holidays. It can be made a day ahead
or "chilled" for a few hours to set up. The cranberry is

MJ Reader of the Month Club
Congratulations
to Marsha King of Mt.
Vernon who sent in
an entry for our brand
new MJ Reader of the
Month Award and
was chosen as our very
first winner. Her entry
reads as follows:
“I have been reading
and really enjoying
your publication for a
long time. My daughter passes them
out at many stores in the area and I
get my copy from her. She also gives
me some copies to hand out at my
high school luncheon group (which
meets once a month) and to my
friends at Bible Study.
“I enjoy looking for the swords
(Treasure Hunt Contest) and I
have won the contest several times.
Sometimes I help friends look for
the swords. Sometimes I hold the
magazine upside down and sideways
to find a sword that is really well
hidden. Once, sitiing under a dryer
at the beauty shop, I was turning it
all around and someone asked me
what I was doing. A couple of years
ago, I looked and looked and finally
gave up. Come to find out that they
had been left out that month!! HA!
“There are so many interesting
items, and I read them all. I especially
like the jokes and I often cut
them out to send to friends who
live far away. I enjoy the puzzles
too. Several years (MJ writer) Cora
Seaman spoke at one of the clubs
I belong to. I find her stories very
entertaining.”
For her efforts, Marsha will
receive a 1-year subscription to the
Marsha King
Journal for herself or a
friend or loved one. If
you would like to nominate
yourself or someone
else, just send in your
entry telling us your
(their) story. Hopefully
you have a funny story
that proves that you (or
they) are an avid reader
and deserve recognition.
Below are some ideas:
• How long have you read the
MJ?
• Where do you pick up your
copy and why there?
• How do you read it, a little
here and there or cover-to-cover in
one reading?
• What are your favorite topics
and why do you like certain writers?
• Do you have favorite stories
from the past?
• Do you look at the ads? Do
puzzles? Use coupons?
If you’re nominating someone
else, tell us a little about them (life
work, hobbies, things they’ve said
to you about the Journal. A photo
would be great as well. All submissions
will be kept in our files, so it
isn’t necessary to re-submit a nomination
for the same person more
than once.
Above all else, we want the
Reader of the Month award to be
FUN as we recognize our most loyal
readers.

Yesterdays Remembered
As I have said in the past, life
is never dull when you live at Park
Place in Newburgh. This could only
have happened in our world.
One of my neighbors had been
admitted to the hospital with a
serious back problem that required
immediate surgery. I knew that she
had a son who lived in the Louisville
area. I had met him once during the
holidays when he came to visit. I was
returning from my daily trip to the
mailbox as he was getting luggage
from the trunk of his car, and I spied
a guitar in the trunk and asked if he
played. He replied that he did and
that he might play later for his family.
I laughed and asked to be invited
to the party.
When he drove up to the unit on
Thursday, planning to visit his mother
after her surgery, I recognized
him and asked about her. He walked
casually over to where a group of us
were sitting on our front stoop to
give us a report. I asked if he had
brought his guitar. “No”, he replied,
since he wouldn’t be staying long.
“Oh,” I replied, “that doesn’t
matter, I have one!”
“You have a guitar?”
“I do, but I haven’t touched it in
several years. Let me go get it.”
When I handed him the guitar,
he immediately began to strum the
instrument, stating that it was still in
tune. I was quite shocked.
He then began playing old country
hits. Was I ever surprised to hear
him strum some of the old George

were sitting around were country fans, we
joined right in for the serenade. And we
knew almost all the tunes and the words.
After we had been singing into darkness,
he began to share with me some of
his background in music. It seems that
he had begun to play at the hands of his
father at the ripe old age of 5. My hands
will hardly go around the neck of a guitar,
and I could only imagine how his little
fingers could withstand the pressure of
pushing on the strings.
He stated that his father had been
an engineer on a train and that he shared
much of his life with him. His father had
taught him all the old country songs,
although he was much too small to have
had any idea that he was being schooled in
what was the beginning of the popularity of a new trend
in music. Many people may not like country music, but
you must admit that it became a very popular music
genre during the war years and after. Much of the music
of that time was performed by people with no musical

by Pat Sides,
Archivist at Willard Library
Carlton Theater
This photo was taken in late 1959, when the Carlton
Theater at 216 Main Street was about to be razed to
make room for a parking lot.
The theater had opened with
fanfare on Christmas day in
1937. A newspaper article
noted the building’s “strikingly
beautiful front,” which was
composed of polished black
glass and highlighted with red
and gold, colors that matched
the plush lobby. The Carlton
opened during the Great Depression, when at least
ten other theaters were still operating in Evansville.
Film historians have argued that this dreary era created
the demand for films, which enabled audiences to
temporarily forget their worries and gave rise to the

education at all and was simply played
from the heart. Hank Williams became a
star with not one note of musical knowledge
but with a head full of musical poetry.
Who could ignore the poetry in the song
“Have you ever heard a Robin cry, when
he’s too blue to fly?” He eventually became
known as the Shakespeare of Country
Music. Another poetic genius was Merle
Haggard who penned “I’m an Okie from
Muscogee” as an answer to the hippy
movement that was sweeping the country
during the Vietnam War. And, of course,
the very beginning of country music came
from a man named Jimmy Rogers, the
singing engineer, who learned to play from
black field hands in Louisiana.
My troubadour stayed and played his
music as we sang and entertained a neighborhood of his
mother’s friends, and he promised to return in the near
future with the list of the songs his father had taught him
to play. Those lists would have all the lyrics to the songs,
and we would not need to fill in the spaces with “na, na,
na,” or “tada, tada, tada”, or any unknown noises when
the words to the songs didn’t come.
Maybe some of my other neighbors have some rusty
musical instrument hiding in the closet just waiting for
someone to bring it back to life. I still have my autoharp
that the guitar player plans to test when he returns. Stay
tuned!!! MJ

They treated Mom like she was part

to the care of their residents. Mom
passed away last week in her apartment. Her
health began to deteriote after Christmas.
She was taken care of with love and respect.
