Never has the Cleveland Theater been NOR
crowded than 1t was last night We say this safe

utmost limits, both as to seats and standing room
The Gesangyerein is an institution well known Il

The Opera was given with great spirit and anima
ton. All were full of a laudable desire to please
and succeeded in their cndeaYors. Miss Baumlel
the Prima Donna, is young lady Of high musi
cal talents, and has good appreciation Of wha
constitutes good acting, as well as singing.
The Cleveland Gesangverein last year took tb
prize of silver cup at the prize concert in Pitt
burgh. We do not fear that their reputation wi
be at all essened in this years trial.
