At tlie grand Muy 2d. The Mendelssohn's, at the {(rand opera liouse May 2d. Charles Downitig has canceled his engagement here for the present. VViM see ug later. "A very beuuliful, exceedlngly clever comedidme, a decided hit," Is the judgmeiit of the New York Herald on Miss Frunkie Keinble, who appears at tlie grand opera house Saturday evening. Go and hear the Mendelssohns next Wedneday evening, and be happy for a week afterwards. Of Miss Keinble the New York Herald says: "Possessing youth and beauty to a marked degree, her excellent Interpretalion of the rata uift with well deserved and enthiiiiastic apjilause." Of tbe Mendelssohn Quintette Club, whlch appears at the grand opera house neït week Wednesduy even Ing, May 2d, it seeim unnecessary almost to say a word. They are known bo wel!, and so universally llked tliat tbey never fuil to draw a crowd. ," Bptli Messrs. Booth and lïnrrctt owe a nrge share of their fmiie to the newspapers of (bil country which have leeli very generous In tliiir notices of the fïenius ot these two men. Now tliat they have used tlieedirors as a ladder to clim'b up on, and tlielr reputation s established they turn around and anno tliem. No "comp8" to nowspaper men any more; if they want to hear and see these men erform whom they have helped to fame they must pay the same as any other person. It is something like a man furnishlng hls own table and then being churjfed 3 eacu for his meals. The nielody of music in all ts sweet, deliglitful senBations, will be experienced tiy those wlio altend tlie grand concert to be givon on Wudncsday evenlng of next week at the grand opera house ly tlie Mendelssohn (uintette Club, one of the most popular and excellent organizaüons in the country. Hear what tlie Brooklyn Times eays"Miss Kemble AVarbles like an IrUh meadow iark, dances like a Ceñíale gradúate of Donnybrook fair, and Is the lissome, laughing eyed, rollicking, tender mischitvous Hiberian lass whlch the late Charles Lever loved so well to draw irom :he humbler walks of life on the Green Lsle. The larjfe theatre was flllcd and he fair star was received with great enhusiasin." The great nuinber of townspeople at tending the Glee Club concert was strik ingly noticeabie, they appeared to be better patrons than the students thera selves. It is ,to be hoped that a like interest may be taken in the joint concert of the Ann Arbor and Ypnlanti choruses Saturday night. The great musical event of the season is the Mentlelssohn concert at the grand opera house next Wednesday cvcmíiik May 2d. The New York Morning Journal is quite flattering in its noticeof Miss Kemble: "Miss Fannie Kemble, although yet young, is no stranger to the stage, as she lias covered aluiost every line, thereby acquiring no mean knowledge of its requirement8 during later years. She was seen last eveningat Messrs. Knowles and Morris's grand opera house, iu the relined Irisli drama, 'Sybil,' a romance of Dublin Lights, and won many admirerg for the pleasinjr way in which she enacted the title role. Miss Kemble is a pretty as well as talented comediene, her every movement is graceful, she possesses a fine figure, has a musical, well-trained soprano voice, and in addition to her acting won llattertng applause for her solos and dancing." Geo. V. Cable gives select rendins tonight at University hall, before the Students' J.,ecture Association, in place of Chas Dickens, who flunked. Mr Cable was here wlth Mark Twain some' yeirs ago, and is pleasing on the platform. He was a confedérate soldier duiïng the war but is an honorable, square man wlio has accepted in good C.ith the result and who is credited Wlth believinr in a free ballot and a fair count. Our people will be highly entertained by hls readines should they attend them. The Aon Arbor Clioral Union and the Normal School Suppho Club had a rehersal at Ypsilanti Saturday last, which Prof. de Pont tells us was eminently successful, passing through the entire performance without a break. The mul school have a large organ, and the marnier in wlnch Dr. Frieze bandlea t la worth the journey from here to Ypsilaiiti to hear and see. "Let me tel! yoii," s;iid the professor, " we have worked faithfully, we have worked well, and we are fully piepared to give a good concert, llie music is not heavy, not of the chssical order as people understand it, but light, sparkling and brilliant. It Is thoroughly good, and will be apprcciated by lovers of music. These fingers desei ve a large audience, not only tor the hard work they have put into the pieces to be rendered, but for the real mciit of the entertainment" There is but little doubt but that the crowd will be a large oni, and the early one at the boards will be the lueky oue in seciirinfr a se:it.
