Seats are on sale at the Clunie Opera
house for the Sth and 9th, when Johnny
and Emma Ray will appear in their
laughing farce "A Hot Old Time Ray
is we'll known low comedian, long in
California, where he was a great IA
vorite. He has had especial success in
this new farce, which is filled with spe-
cialties, new songs and comical situa-
tions. The ST. Louis Press says of
the combination:
THE Rays are Clevelanders. For a
long time they were a popular vaude-
vile team, producing a half hour va
riety sketch. But, reversing the usual
order of things for now it's quite the
thing to desert the legitimate for vau-
deyille. the Rays elaborated their va
riety sketch into a three-act farce and
Hot Old Time is the result And it
is hot old time. Conventionalities are
thrown to the Winds at the dinner
table some one shouts for pigs feet and
ice cream, people are addicted to the
pleasant pastime of chasing each other
around with revolvers and the like. and.

The Clunie Opera-house was we'll
filled below and half so above last night,
the occasion being the concert Of the
Arion Concert Company and the N. S.
G. W. Band. A notable feature of the
evening was the first appearance here
of Mss Daisy Cohn of San Francisco.
Hers is a fresh soprano voice of great
clearness,. much f1exibility and ample
power. 1t is backed by youth, earn
estness and a good style. The singer
was we'll received and created an ex-
ceedingly favorable impression We
should say that her voice has the requis-
lite qualities for the concert hall and
the culture and management which in
sure success. 1t is not a deeply SYM
pathetic voice, judged by the two num-
bers in which it was heard, but it has a
strong INCLINATION toward brilliancy.
The band had decidedly the better of
the concert, not because it's member
ship is more skilled, for it is not and
has not had the experience of the or
chestra, which is in its fourth year. but
because it is better balanced and its
numbers were selected more discreetly.
It's attack was more vigorous and GER
tain and there was more of virile quail
ity in its method. In fact the band
as an amateur organization gave a sur
prisingly creditable performance and
mas promise of superiority under psi
tient labor and persistent effort. Ten

The orchestra played more difficult
selections, but with two exceptions they
cannot be said to have been happily Sc
lected. Eilenberg's Evening Bells'
was notably too difficult of interpreta-
ton by the orchestra. 1t failed to
seize upon the thought of the composer
and apparently CROPPED for the express
sion he intended But the orchestra
gave a creditable entertainment and is
a praiseworthy organization.
It's difficulty last night was an appar-
emf sameness in its work; either the
selections lending themselves to this or
the method of the orchestra's work,
perhaps BOTH We should say that the
young men who have devoted so much
time and sincere labor to this organ
ization are on the right track; they are
proving their competency and achieving
a good measure of success But we
think we have heard a better program
from them when fewer in numbers. 1t
is possibly judgment that may not
accord with the views of the orches-
ira, but the conviction will remain that
it is not properly balanced, that lacks
in bases and reeds. 1t, could sacrifice
some violins and one cello surely for
an additional bass, bassoon and an
