THE
UPDATED
Below are some of the BMD’s, and miscellaneous
Newspaper Items I have come across while researching my family tree.
Some items were difficult to
read, even with a magnifying glass, so I have added a “( )” or “?”
around the letter, word or date that I am unsure of and have added what I think
it looks like. If you see in
brackets (rest was cut off) that just means, that a portion of it was cut off by
accident, when the page was copied. In
brackets (after the item), is the date the article was placed in the newspaper.
I’ve been working on this quite a bit, so don’t be surprised if you
find some typo’s. Good luck in
your search.

MARKS BROS
The R. W. Marks Dramatic and Musical Company concluded a fortnight’s
entertainment here on Wednesday night to their usual crowded houses, although it
was to some extent the nature of rehearsal
of a new set of people for the coming season.
The reorganized company is full of capable and popular actors, and with
the well known star, May A. Bell,
constitute the best variety troupe travelling.
The new company, with their new set of plays, now well drilled into their
parts, start on their fall and winter’s tour in Canada and the United States
under good auspices; and with such management as Mr. R. W. Marks can give it,
has promise of a brilliant season. In
Perth the performance gave the utmost satisfaction every night.
