Si was some, and those who went to listen to him and his fun were repaid with aching sides caused by exeessive laughter. The play was funny in itself, and then.tbe leading parts were acted in a mirth-provoking manner. A new song eutitled . " That's the Idea," witten by H. V. Leavitt, and rendered by Blaisdell, took very well, as is proven by the boys baving "caught on" to his "idee," and adopted its expresions in their slang. Both evenings the hall was filled, maktwo of the largest paying audiences ever gathered in that place. Of Froderie Bryton, who is to appear at the opera house, Tbursday evening, Feb. 4, in the play of "Forgiven," the Cincinnati Enquirer says: "Tliereare few actor to-day the equal of Frederio Bryton in inagnetic f orce. We have watched him the past week closely and believe tliat he does not act the part of "Jack o' Diamondb," Lut lives it. The nervous action of the miucles in the arm, neck and lower lirubs can not be mimicked tó such au extent that the student' in anatomy will be deceived. It is up.in this observation we base the opiuion that Bryton lives in the character he impersouated iu this new play of his, which has more than ordinary merit." Sentinel: Before our citizens abandon the opera house in despair, they had better thiuk of the project of a street railway between here and Aun Arbor. 8uch a cheap means of hourly i omniunication would boom both places, and the whole line of the track. Ypsilauti would acquire a deeper iuterest in the university, and the Normal school would have more value in the eyes of Aun Arbor. liesideuts of each city of rural tastes, wouid purchase lots of a few acres aloug the street, and erect residencea, untü their dWelliugs would be oontiunous, ;ind quite posibly ere long the, whole road, f rom one cit to the other would be lighted by eiectricity f rom the respect ïve workn in the cities. l'his plan is worth figuring on at any r.ite.. 'The theme of "Forgiven; or, Jack o' Uiamonds" to be given at the opera house on the evening of February 4 is a domestic ene. "Jack Diamond" is a Western gambler. Hia wife, a reíined lady, reproaches him for his profession and "Willard Gruham,' a man of educa tion and congenial tastes, loving her, uses her dishke for her husbaod's cailing and uncultured manners to involve her in a llan for an elopenient. As they c nverse "Jack" appears and overhears ihem and heaps reproaches on them. His wife, in remorse, bega forgiveness, which ib relused, and then Hies with her cliild, but alone. "Jack" thiuks she has goue with "Gnham." A reconciliation follows after many intermedíate scènes. The imt line of ihe general nature of the plot givew no idea of its interes' ing intricae,). I here are a thousand exciting situations dependent apon it, and all woven into tabnc of the most admirable texture. The taking out of a smy.e tim ad woul.i ruin the cloth, so neatly has the weaving been done and so wel] haathe principie of cause and effect, been considered. There is not a single unuecessary cliaraoter or incident, no straining for effect, lmt the soul stirring story is told iu a thrilliufí manner, which obtaius complete domination over all the emotions and sendf the audience away at the end with nerves relaxed, feeling that a masterpiece of driimatic art bas passed before théir eyea and moved them such as few counterfeits of those tragedies of life which are occuring ever did. The play holds i absolute mastery overthe sympathies of : the audiem e from the flrst and keeps the interest stretched to the turthest tention." Cincinnati Timea-Star.
