Remember he Is üolish who does not catcli every opportuïity by the fore-lock. Maud lianks, who played at the opera ïouse last week, is a daughter ot' Gen. fjithanittl P.

On Friday night of this week Profesor Ford of New York city will give a mblic recital Ia the lecture room of the Methodist church, commencing at eifrht o'clock. The rentlemau is one of the nost accompüshed public réciters in the ountry, and the entertainment will be one of the most enjoyable given here this eason. Of that there is no doubt. Bishop ¦'i.riMnI oftue Methodist church writes: ' It isd flloult to see how one can secure ;rcater pieasiire and proni trom an evenn's entertainment than by attending one of Prof. Ford' recitals."

Teresa Carreno the orld enowned pianist, who by her good ights ought to have come with the first n the grand list of artists coniposing lie liedpatb Lyceum Grand Concerts Co., nly occnpies, on some bilis, the 3d rank.

THE "8ILVER AOE" COMPASV. The management takes pleasiire in nnouncing the engagement of the rising tul popular young American actor, Mr. dwïn F. Mayo, in hls new and powerul play, "The Hilver Age," whlch has eeu one of the most pronounced dramtic sucesses of the present season; everyvhere scoring an iustantaneous hit and ecciving the higliest commendation of oth press and public. The play is In ve acts, and depicts life as it actually exsted in the minlng regions of Idalio in 802. The plot Is one of the strongest charcte-, the lana;uage ter ie, the situ itions ntensely dramatic and thrllllng, while nderlying all a beaut f ui love-story Is old, relieved here and there by incidents f the most laughable and enjoyable naure, so that the interest is never illowed flig from the time the curtain goes up pon the firgt act to the finish of the play. A carload of apecial scenery s uscd ín stagiiiír the play, a stage-concli, drawn by four real liorscs, dashps acrogs the stage; a house 3 struck llghtning and a mnn Killed; a rain-storm of real water follows; there Is a lynching scene, and, last but not least, a tank scene in whicli an immpnse Whirlpool of real water is shown, 30,000 gallons of water bcing used. luto this pool botli the hero and villian fall while engaged n a hand-tohand light. As Capt, Catón (Cool Jack), of the U. S. Armj-, Mr. M ijo has a part that flt9 hini like a glove, and n t lie has made the gicatest hit of his life, even surpassing his wonderful work as tbe heroic frontierstnan in his great play of "Davy Crockett," whicli tirst made film famou. Mr. Mayo'a company Is otic of unusual excellence this season, Including & number of most rapuble pcople In the profession. QRKAT NEW VORK SUCCESS "ZIO-ZAO." The greatest of all succespcs in musical faree comedy is "Zie-Zag," which has had so enormous run of good luck at the Star Theatre, New York. Never beforo. has a play taken hold of the theatricnl loving people of this country as has this comedy and jmlging froin the enthusiasm with whcli it was received by the New York prss we can not but look forward to its production here wlth the utmost interest. All the original company, scenery, costuraos and muic will be brought to the Grand Opera House po that a spectacular treat may be cxpected. The very bumorous litbographs renreentinir scènes and incidents from "ZigZ" grace many of the Ann Arbor stores and it ia excessively annising to observe the niles that come over the faces of the passers by on behoiriinfr those clever sketches. The Tuiklsli Hath scene must be N droll idea and the Turkiah figure whieh stands irominently out is enough to mnke the veriest stoic fall into a paroxysm of hikrity. Miss Anna Bovd, one of America's most brilliant comic opera artists, has the principal role in 'Zig-Zag." Miss Iioyd is a dashing and handsoine young lady with i beautiful voice and to use the words of an eminent New York ciitic, " She sings and dances divinely." There are sixteen artists In "Zig-Zag." The fun of the musical farce while enough to senil one nto fits oflaugliter is ülways of the most refined kind. Next Monday night the Grand Opera Houe will surely be crowded to its utmost holding capacity, for it is seldom we get here a musical farce comedy with such hisrh credentials as " ZigZg" brings with it.
