llamsons to-night in Photos. Of the Hamsons the Detroit Post and Tribune t-ays of them: "Tliepopularity of the Harrisons and the musical and dramatic eccentricity, ' Photos,' was ver}' thoro'ly shown by the large audience at this houae last evening. A nolcd writer on tlieatrical topics once cal led Lotta a ' dramatic cocktail.' Had he seen Alice Harrison he might, and would undoubtedly, have called lier a dramatic banquet, tor she has, so to speak, tlie chic of Lotta, the {(race of Rosina Vokes, the abandon of Maggie Mitchell, and the power, emotional or tragic, of a Clara Morris. She sings well, she dances well, she acts ahvays and she never loses a point. Of her brother, Louis Harrison, as much might be said. He ie ahvay.s a carricature and might easily be accepted as the model of models used by Hogarth, Cruickshank, Kepplerand Nast. He is without doubt one of the most versatile and eftective of the young comedians, orratherstage-humorists, now living. Tlie Harrisons - brother and sister - have aboutthetn a company thoroughlyin sympathy with them. and when the aciion of their most amusing productiou ia going on it is a hilarious picnic both for actors aml audience. Blind Boone, Piauist. Opera House, June 5th and 6th. Blind Boone- only 25 cents. B. H. Ruff, Professor of Music in Adrián College writes the following: " Having heard and tested the musical capacities of Blind Boone, I eau conscieneiously endorse all that his managers claim for hini, and no one rtioold fail to hear this wonderfully gifted blind Pianist." The Ft. Wayne Sentinel says: "Blind Boone- Tliis wonderful prodigy was greeted by a very appreciative audience at Library Hall last evening. Boone is worth a fortune. Rev. W. N. Webbe paid him a high compliment, and thinks hini superior to any pianist on the American stage.''
