New CRY HALL To-NIGHT.-DUPREz &
GREEN.-The concert Of Duprez & Green's
troupe last evening was really a treat and the
best thing of the kind we have witnessed for
long time. The ballad singing was truly ar
tIstic, and very effective, and the choruses
were rendered with power and brilliancy
seldom listened to in this city. Mr.. Green is
an able competitor Of Billy Morris in the Bird
Song, and La Marseilaise was thrilingly sung
by Sig. Bidaux. The comicalities we're orig
inal, and drew forth shouts Of applause and
laughter. Among them the "ghost' was a
striking feature, and would Brighten any one
who should meet it in the woods on a moon
light night. We advise those who attend the
last performance this evenng,-and this will
no doubt include all the people-not to wear
their gold buttons.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.

CAMILLA URso.-Our readers will not for
get that this celebrated violinlst will give a
concert at new City Hall next Thursday eve
ming. She will be assisted by artists eminent
In their profession. We believe the violin Is
the master instrument, and when played by
such an artist as Urso, 1t gives out the sweet
est and most affective music of any instru-
ment ever yet constructed by human hands.
Mad lie Urso is unquestionably the best female
vioinist In the world, and We venture the
opinion that but very few OF the sterner sex
can excel her on this instrument We have
heard oil the celebrated violinists of the Old
World who have landed on our shores, and we
are free TO confess that this lady makes the
violin discourse as pure music as any we have
ever listened to. Modest and unassuming
she "puts on no airs but her fayori,e instru-
ment, under her skillful bowling and delicate
lingering, sends out arias which find their way
directly to the hearts of all her auditors.
Music is indeed one of the exact sciences, and
Il never seems more so than when this re-
markable woman touches her instrument.

BRowN's CoScERT.-The Detroit Free
Press thus speaks of Miss Marsh, who Is TO

Marsh is native of this city, and her parents

Press:
