Miss ANNIE LOUISE CARY seems to be max
Jig great success with the Provincials. From
the numerous Mandatory comments upon her
concerts we take the following from st. John
papers. The Globe says:
The audience was on the tip toe of anticipa-
ton in view of Miss Cary's appearance. Her
fame had preceded her and expectation ran
high. She was down for the pages song from
the Huguenots. She was received with an
outburst of applause, her very appearance and
manner indicating that she was a woman of no
ordinary talent. Nobody was disappointed.
proved and cultivated in the highest degree. 1t
is also very flexible, and it is used and directed
with marvellous effect under the fine taste and
conception of its possessOr. This was particu-
larly noticeable in the rendering of Kathleen
MayOurneen, which was given in response to an
encore. The appealing words were pronounced
with such pathOs as to keep the audience per-
fectly spell bound, and even the author of this
sweetest of Irish ballads could hardly imagine
that the sentiments which it contains could be
made to WELD so much power At the close
perfect storm of applause burst from the au-
dience. Miss Cary is not only an accomplis he'd
vocalist; but an actress of great natural dra-
matte talent.
The Ne,CS speaks of the same concert thus
Miss Annie Louise Cary sang the pages
song from "Les Huguenots,' and her fine
contralto full, true and powerful, filled all who
listened with delight. In response to the ap-
plause which followed, she returned and sang
kathleen Mavourneen," with SO much taste
and expression that charm was cast over the
audience, which was only broken at the close to
give vent to the feelings of the listeners in ap
plause.
