Amusements

The claisJi of ijiterrot im "A Breeiy Time," is broustht about by# the fact tdiat tha credttora oí a young college student have puruued hiiiu out of town, and thnt plirl ttmt he loves has domllkewiwe. It is easily to be s-en that eomiic complications cniii grow out of t,h:s utate of thmgs. It rematas to be seen, of ioui se, wbettksr they have been take.n tHlvamage of. Lea ving plot al'tlogethier out of the quesfrion, howcvit, ttopBece i- k:iU tobe'Jkg nponthe stage i gpeet many peoplc wluo havs made ünitu in their time a.nd who have been brougilit together for the firnt tJme in "A Breezy Time," wiiieh will appear at liranU Opera House on Saturday cveiwnir. J'riiuipMl among thein are E. 1!. Fi'tz. tUie woll-known heavrweibt comedian, and Kathryn Webster, a sou'bi-ett who is not at all of Ui ccnivrait iona.1 ordr. CLABA MORRIS. Thiere la no doubt but thut Clara Morris is the greatest emotional actresw t'hat ajri)oared ïn Ann Arbor. In tlve play "Henee da Moray," as gtrS Thursday eveniug, her powers in th.rit line wcro broulffht out, and süie certainly proved herself a complet master. ïhero were few dry eyes to the house as she pleaded with her tother and husband, and talked wüth her ohild of her wrongs and misJortumes. The house was not what ilt sihouW have been numerically, but tihat was on account of the price, $1.50, whi'li l-i considered by our llaygoAng people, extravagant. Had thi puice of admiesion been placed at $1.25 even, the same as Modjeska nnd Kliea cliarge, every KAt would have beon taken. SURRENDER. "Surrenrter" l t:he latest to bo addéd to t'he long list Of war plays, and it enjoys an immense reputation in that it was written by Augustus Thomiavs, tlie brigiitewt of the younger playwTÍgBrtB aiwl the autlior of the weii reanetobered "Atafeama." THi new play w'll be seeai at tte Grand Opera H-cuse on Friüay evening1 and it will have tlie advantage of being presented by a, niiagiïi'jkent company, whi.li, embraciJig as it does, eucli r.a.mes as Rose Eytiage, Maud Banks, Burr Mcliïtosh, Clement Balnbridge, etc, ïs unquestionably one of the sfcrongest orgairlzat'iOna now le!ore -1lí' ptíbí'JC. In "SurreiMler" Augustus Hhomoe lias Imllt a play which, tihough r.ot wholly exem.pt from the íuorrors of war, is so far removed from tllie scènes of warfare anti so brightened by tibe elementa of eomedy, that it leaves no depressing eitects. The plot ie orilginai, eepeclally In the detiöucenuait of the third act, whlch erada wüfah an effect not only dramatic, but lighly melo-dramatie. AH the scènes are lattd just outskle of Iiichmoitd, and at tlie home oí a Confedérate general, t'he. love of whose daiugtutere for several Federal officen hngtüteomed in Libby, forms tlie mfida tbread of the ntory around ■ft-'hO.h tlie various incide-nts are woven. It is saíe to prediet for it as large. a house as my that has beem seon tiiis geatroo. In "Sui-render" Mr. Tilomas lias givon in the maU) a very riielike pk'tnre of life in the south in tilue days of the war, and ba.s very t-leverly succeded in wrilting a play wttich te not at all partirán ; at one moment the v-:pec-ttor sympatliizen it'h th vajient Union prisoners, at anot3ir fois heart beate warmly for t'hi' stniiíuTniíí. cliivalric sonth.
