THE TENTH OPERA
Between football season and the
commencement of baseball in the
spring, activities on the campus are
largely limited to non-athletic events,
of which the Michigan Union Opera
and the social functions concurrent
with it, is perhaps the most important.
Filled as it is with the typical atmos-
phere of university life, it appeals to
both students and faculty, and its
popularity among the alumni is shown
clearly by the packed houses before
which the opera is presented.
We can hardly say that this year's
opera is going to be the "Best ever,'
nor have we heard those in charge of
the production term it as such. But
there is a marked spirit of co-opera-
tion this year among those associated
with the work; there are promises of
costumes and scenery which will be
the finest that like college productions
can consistently with their income af-
ford; a satisfactory trip during the
spring recess has been arranged, satis-
factory from both a financial and
social view-point; and above all, the
society of Mimes under whose aus-
pices the opera is given, have re-or-
ganized, and are making this year's
performance a strictly student man-
aged affair, in so far as such is pos-
sible.
Michigan is awaiting anxiously for
the opening night, when it can pass
its critical approval or disapproval
upon this tenth annual production of
Mimes. We feel confident that the
result will be a whole hearted feeling
of satisfaction for the efforts of thosc
in charge, but until then, there is feel-
ing of expectancy upon the campus,
which will not be quelled until the
lights of the first performance have
faded into history.

BE
On Monday morning, April 9, a
special train comprised of four Pull-
mans and two baggage cars, carrying
125 members of the cast, and chorus,
spectively, and the Auditorium, Chi-
cago's largest and finest theatre will
see the Michigan men Friday night.
Great plans are being made by the
Chicago Alumni association to enter-
tain the troupe, plans which is car-
ried out will surpass the glorious wel-
come of last year. The final perform-
ance will be given in Saginaw Satur-
day night, the company returning to
Ann Arbor for classes Tuesday morn-
ing, April 17.
Conclusive Proof
Heard at the Union desk while a
chorus rehearsal was going on:
"What's the name of that song; I've
heard it before. It's from the Win-
ter Gardens, isn't it?"
"No, that's one of the pieces for
"Fools' Paradise."

stage, property and costume managers,
electricians, composers, author, musi-
cians, costumes and scenery for the
"Fools' Paradise" troupe will leave
Ann Arbor for Detroit.
While in the City of the Straits the
company will be the guests of the De-
troit Alumni association. Last year
a luncheon at the University club, and
a dinner dance at the Detroit Athletic
club were given in honor, and al-
though no definite information hasaas
yet been received from the Alumni as-
sociation, it is believed that the wel-
come for the "Fools'. Paradise" com-
pany will fully equal that bestowed
upon the "Tres Rouge" organiation.
The performance will be staged at the
Lyceum theatre. I
The Valentine theatre has been se-
cured for the Toledo performance,
Tuesday evening. The Toledo alumni,
organization is an extremely hospitable
one, and inasmuch as "Tres Rouge"
was received with great favor, ample
entertainment will no doubt be af-
forded the members of the company.
