A better satisfied audience tban íilled the opera liouse to see " A Social Sesslon" last night, eeldom returns f rom an evenlng's entertainment. This attraction is well calculated to put an audienre in a proper frame of mind to enjoy their performance. The superb band and orchestra creates an exquisito sensation of delight, and after tlie sweet straina die away the curtain rises on farce comedy, breezy and ludicrous, and the most staid auditor soon loses control oí bis deponment and is preparcd to enjoy tlie fun to the fullest eztent. The merit of the play increases witu each act; the Ihlrd and last is composed of burle-cjiies on popular rraml operas put on in good style. "A Social Session" is better üian it advertises. - Omaha Bee. The Sappho Club of Ypsilanti, c.msist ng of 24 ladies will give a concert at the 1. E. church, Ypsilanti, Momlay evenng, May 12.

Tlie Poetare Stamp Comedy Company ppeared at the Opera House last evening n thelr new fdrce-comedy, "A Social Sesïon," and both ihe play and the players lade an instuntaneous hit. Very few of be liirge audicnce present guessed thatit vas a " first nijrht," as the piece luid been ery carefully rehearsed and not a "break" occiired to mnr tl. e smnothness of t ex eent performance. Unlike most of tlie o-called farce-comedies, "A Social Seson" has a well defined, though not com)licnted, plot, the dramatic interest bt'iiif; ustained throughout. The characters re all well drnwn, and the situations ovel, as wasattested by the almost coninous shouts of laughter and applause i.-it greeted the players and inspired lem to further efforts. The numerous onjrs and specialties iutroduced were of high order of merit. The burlesque pera in the third act was exceedingly udicrou?, and also afforded the excellent vocallst8 of the company an opportunity to display their ability. We have not space to give a synopsis of the piece, nor is it neces8ary. It can all be sumnxid im n ose word - fun !-
