Hopkins' Trans-oeoanlo's ho t o boards at tho Lansing Thursday overl ing and played to a largo and appreci ative audlonco. As a meritorious high class vaudovlllo porformanco tho at traction was a big success and tho sovoral artists woro liberally applaud ed. Evory feature of tho prograraino was well received and demands for repetitions prolonged tho show to a lato hour. Tho Dixon brothors, olovor musical clowns; Mens. Nlzarras and Mllo. Thorn, skillful French gymnasts; James and Lucy Allison, sprightly Englsh dancors and singers; Jano Mel ville and Evil Stetson, original vocal ists and dlaloct artists, all mado hits and contributed somo taking novelties. Trowoy, tho fantalslst humoristic, was of course, an entertainment in himself. Tho Roberta Zanfrotta Pantomime troupo, in "Tho olopomont," brought dono tho house. Tho other specialties woro good. This attraction is on a par with Mr. Hopkins' other enterprises and compares favorably with his How ard athuonum company. Ho travels with tho oceunlcs and is making u big card of tho company in all tho loading theatres of tho country. It furnishes a bright, clonn and clover porformanco and deserves success. Tho principal part of Herrmann's entertainment, which was soon last night at tho Lansing, consists of raro and all-startling phenomena to which his own original and colloctivo brain has given existence HIb work seem ingly sots at naught all natural laws. It Is roplota with mysticism and thoso occult deeds ordinarily ascribed to tho redoubtable Princo of Darkness. Yet ovorythlng is simply dono, and Horr man frankly disclaims any superna tural agoncics. Tho feats of legerde main performed by Herrmann aro nono of tho ordinary sleight of hand affairs to which tho old lino of theatre-goers aro accustomed. Herrmann stands alono and supremo In thourtdiaboliquo and no word description can do full justico to tho mysteries of this romark ablo porsonago. Ho charms you by a graco of mannor, ho entrances by the subtlo power which ho so greatly pos sosses, and mystifies and bewilders you by tho doftnoss and dexterity with which ho executes his remarkable feats. Two of Herrmann's most mys terious tricks this year aro "Ta-ra-ra-boom-do-ay dono to death" and tho Chinese mystory "Yakoyo." Of tho latter It canio said that it is a decided novolty and ono knows about as much how It was dono before, as ho does aftorward. It Is a clever conceit and Herrmann does it decidedly well. A largo house witnessed the entertain ment notwithstanding tho advanco in prico of seats. Burnes &. Summers havo put in five nights quite profitably at Funko's this week Including a largo Fontleroy matl nco Wednesday.

Little Edna Remlng was a captivating featuro and as a child artist does some very clover work. Tho engagement was a vorj fair success. Tint Giat Mimical Ketit Thurmlajr. As will bo soon by our advertising colums, Nordica, Schalca and a grand array of operatic talent will be in Lin coln, at tho Lansing Thursday evening, and an Interview published last month In tho Boston Journal, where tho tour began, might bo of guneral Interest: "My first appearance In public In con cert was in Bumstoud Hall in 1870. It was a pupil's concert and I sang the en trance aria of Leonora in 'II Trovatoro.' I sang in tho Christmas ovo (1870) por formanco of 'Tho Messiah,' and I di vided tho soprano solos with Mrs. J. W. Woston. Tho othor singers were Ma thildo Philllpps, William Winch and Myron Whitney. In 1878 I went with Gllmoro's band toKuropo, and sang, for instanco, ut Paris in tho Trocadoro, which was hardly finished. I think I was tho Jlrst to sing thoro. My soloo tlon was 'Vunno, Vnnno,' from 'Roberto, II Dlavolo.' I did not go with tho band to Gormany, for thoy played In tho opon air and, of courso, I did not wish to thus exposo mysolf. I studied in Paris with San Giovanni, and it was ho that fitted mo for opera. I then sang In 'Faust' at tho lino opera house In Ge noa, and in Novara I played Alice in 'Roberto.' Tho widow of Wagner in vited Madamo Nordica to take tho part of EllzalHith In 'Tnnnhtiousor' at tho liict Bay ruth fo tlval, Mm n'cr wbh tlrod out and noodod rost. When she was in Paris lust summer Madamo Nordica saw much of Gounod, and studied with him tho great aria from tho 'Rolno do Saba.' "Gounod is grow ing fooblo,"snid Madamo Nordica, "but his enthusiasm for Mozart Is not quenched, aud wo spent hours in sing ing tho music of that master. I go undor tho management of Mr. Ellis, as far wost as San Francisco, "and i snau go oacK w ijonuon- in nine lor tho oporntio season. I havcbQon'askod to sing in Mascngl's 'ItaBtzu' In Lon don, and I am to create tho soprano part In a now cantata by Dr. McKonzle; this cantata will afterwards bo given at Chicago, I bollovo. I am engaged for tho next Worcostor festival and under stand th.it Gado's 'Psycho' will bo then sung. In October I expect to sing In Chicago in opora, as a member of tho Abboy, SchooiTol and tho Gran com pany." Madamo XMoruica woro an ex quisite tea gown. It was ovidontly of Parisian invention, and a fantasy of Worth; a cream broeado of violet pat tern. Tho throat of tho slngor was on- circled tondorly by a collar of point laco, which onco adorned a golden haired Venetian of trngio inomory. And now lot tho slngor speak, noarly in hor own words. Tho music of tho volco that lont a charm to tho recital of pro saic detail must bo imaginod by tho rcador. Seats go on salo Monday morning and thoro will doubtless bo a rush.

A Unxy Urtjr. "A Busy Day," which comes to tho Funko Monday evening, is a really funny farco comedy, and not ono of those dreary nightmares which masquerade under tho much-nbusod designation. It will bo Iterproted by Crandall & Zooll nor's Comedians, headed by Harry Crandall, known from ono end of tho United States to tho othor for his ex cellent and univuo dialect work as tho German grocoryman in "Pock's Bad Boy," will enact tho loading rolo, which involves tho very class of impersona tion in which ho has becomo famous. Mr. Crandall, unlike most "dancing and singing comedians," is really an excellent satatorlal artist, and possesses a line barltono voico of wondorful vol- ume, surprising rosonanco and almost indescribable sweetness. Thoro Is really a plot, and an amusing ono, too, in "A Busy Day," although, as a mat ter of courso, tho specialties, whloh aro tho necessary concomitants of evory well-regulated farco-comedy, aro not overlooked. In fact, thoy may bo said to form the brightest features of this "all-fenturo" aggregation. Tho entire production is undor tho personal super vision of Harry Crandall, and soats aro now on salo at tho established prices of tho Funko, 25, i0 und it) cents. The Crunt of Society." John Stetson's company of players from tho Globo Thoatro, Boston, will prosont for tho first time horo, "Tho Crust of Society," an adaptation of Dumas' celebrated comody, "Le Demi Monde," which is ono of tho greatest successes of tho year. Tho play deals with a woman of remarkable nccumon, of the keenest intellect. Sho aspires to rise above tho position in society to which she hns boon relegated, as it woro, by hor villainous father, and, in doing so, wins tho love of un honorable ofllecr In tho army, whoso infatuation for her induces him to givo up his commission, and preparations are mado to marry and fly to parts whoro thoy aro unknown. Tho early friend of' tho young onicer has orijoyod tho society of Mrs. Eastlako Chapel, as tho hero ino Is known, but sho has wearied of hor old lover and sho has left him for sovoral months, cultivating in tho moan time tho acquaintance of Captain Randall Noathcote.
