THE GEM.

It Is apparent that the public is begin
ming to feel the artistic value Of the play
ers at 2 the Gem. Especially those who
have entered their new line Of work with
regulations already earned before the
analytical and blase New York audiences.
This fact is clearly demonstrated by this
weeks production of Lost 81 Hours.
There has been an increasing and esti-
nable gain in the patronage since Mon
day night ana the large audiences en-
thuse over the delightful merry making
which this bright up-to. date farce affords.
The comlcal and clever taglements
which Willis Granger winds about him
self as Dick Swift,and the vivid contrast,
Richard Benefits drol and exceeding
ly clever portrayal Of the theological stu
dent, provoked bowls of laughter to the
satisfaction of that class of theatre goers
who prefer light amusement to the heay-
Ter order Of plays.
Over 500 children attended the matinee
yesterday afternoon escorted by the Fresh
Air Society. Several changes in the
company win no doubt add an interest
in next weeks production.

REAIENYI CONCERT COMPANY.
In engaging the Remenyi Concert Com
pany, consisting Of Herr Victor Beigel,
the renowned Hungarian pianist, Miss
Marguerite Hall, the distinguished mezzo
soprano, and Mr.. Walter WheatIey, the
noted tenor, we feel that tho local man
agement is to be highly congratulated
and is entitled to the gratitude of the
music lovers OF this city.
We assert with pride and pleasure that
there is not at the present time any
musical organization which IS more
refined and more artistic. Her Victor
Beigel is a thoroughly finished and pol
ished pianist, and certainly his singing
tone is unequaled, his touch velyety, and
his rendition warm, dignifed and SYM
pathetic. He has enchanted crowned
heads, society people, and great artists
by his wonderful playing. Can any
thing stronger be said than that the
famous de Reszke brothers are his ardent
admirers2 No artist can show such a
letter Of commentator of Edouard de
Reszke as we have reproduced in our
circular Miss Hall is undoubtedly the
foremost mezzo-soprano of America, and
her admirers are legion; while in Mr..
Walter Wheatley, the management is con-
fident that it has secured an artist of
such valor, that we can safely say that
this remarkable trio is an all-star organ
ization. Their work, as soloists, or en-
ssnahle performers is so highly satisfactory
and pleasing that in fact the company
cannotbe praised too much, and it viii be
an honor to your city to have secured
such artists. It cannot fail to call forth
generous applause and enthusiastic re-
sponsiveness. Above concert at Kotzseh-
mar Hail. Wednesday evening, July 18th.
Seats sold at Stockbridge's Piano Rooms

AN OPPORTUNITY.

Three facts should be taken into con-
sideratio by tho local Republican del
egates to the Judicial convention at
Medina, June I:
Summit county is big enough to have
two Common Pleas Judges and can
furnish lawyers competent to fill the
positions.
Medina countys politicians nave
done their utmost to sacrihce tine best
interests of their Summit county neigh
bors to promote the canvass OF an
obscure and accidental candidate for
denomination to Congress.
Lorain county will have judgeship
fight of her own next year and will
be more than anxious TO keep well
within the favor of her Summit county
neighbors, who can make or unmake
Lorain's candidate for the nomination
In next years convention.

llcans and Democrats alike, will have

More Time Demanded.

One Of the members Of the School

that resolution may be introduced at
the next session of the Board to re-
quire the Superintendent to give more
of his attention to the schools. "The
Superintendent has right to prepare to
enter business If he chooses" said the
Democrats informant, but until he
retires from the management of the

mand that he will give all Of his time
