The Llanelly, Wales, Guardian, of Oct.
says: "On Tuesday evening, Haydn
Evans Cambro-American Concert COM
pany visited Llanelly. As our readers
all have before noticed, the company
consisting of three ladies and three
gentlemen, brought with them a good
reputation from the United States The
conductor, Professor Haydn Evans
choir won the $4,000 prize at the World s
fair eisteddfod, Chicago; Joseph Burns
is the winner of the baritone solo at the
Worlds fair eisteddfod; Miss Sadie
kaisers reputation was such that in
May last she took the soprano part in
| Judas Maccabaeus' in conjunction with
Ben Davies and Watkin Mills at the
Wilkes-Barre oratorio concerts; Miss
Julien c. Allen, stated to be the most
celebrated lady violinist in America (;
Miss Cordelia Freeman, a prominent
American contralto; and James Anwyl,
winner of numerous prizes at American
| eisteddfodau.
The programme was varied and of a
high class, and was carried out excel
lently. 1t opened with a very chaste
| quartette Star of Declining Night

i,
precision and very nice blend of the
| voices. Mr.. Burns followed with a
splendid rendering of The Skipper
dude, and was re-demanded, when he
sang naively and jauntily off to Phila-
delphia. Miss Allen in her selection,
| Violin valse de concert (Musin), sus-
| tanned her well-earned reputation by
her very requisite manipulation of the
| violin. Her fineness and precision of
touch was greatly appreciated, and she
received an encore, nicely responded to
by delicate rendering of Hen Wlad fy
| Nhadau.' Misses Kaiser and Freeman
sang with much taste and judgment
the duet, Harp of the Winds (AbD.
Mr.. Anwyl in his song, Holy City, Sc
cured a merited encore, and he sur
| passed his first song in his response
with Welsh song in the minor key.
Again Miss Allen gratiiied the audi
ence with 'Cavitina' Q3ohm), and was
loudly cheered. Miss Kaiser, Messrs.
Burns and Anwyl followed with a trio
from Attila' (VerdD, which was well
received.
| Miss Kaiser's rendering of 10, Hear
| the Gentle Lark Bishop, was extreme
ly clever. She has voice of great COM
pass, and which is well under control;
especially effective were her floral rem
derings of this beautiful song, in which
| she brought down the house, securing
an unanimous encore. Miss Allen again
gave u most excellent and artistic rem
dering of 'Kugwiak' (WeeniawskD and
proved herself n veritable adept on her
| lovely violin, was encored, which she
acknowledged, but did not respond
Miss Kaiser and Mr. Burns gave most
pathetic and artistic rendering of i
Feel Thy Angel Spirit Hoffman), and
received loud applause. Miss Freeman
was most successful in her singing OF
Spring Flowers Reinecke), accom-
panied by piano and violin. and received
a loud encore. in response to which was
| given very sweetly and intelligently the
recitative Come Unto Me and Rest ac-
| companied on the violin by Miss Allen
A duet in Welsh from 'Blodwen' (Dr
Parry. was a most popular rendering
which brought down the house, and il
was re-demanded and responded tC
equally as successfully; the two singers
blending beautifully in their rendering
and articulating very clearly. The quar-
tette oh, the Sad Moments of Parting
Costa. was carefully given by the solo
lists. and this, with Hen Wlad fly Mia
dau solo by Mr.. Anwyl brought to i
close a most enjoyable concert. j, Al
len williams conducted the proceedings
The class of music was all of higf
order. as will be seen by the composers
names. and received very careful treat
ment at the hands of the party. We
trust that during the remainder of the
stay of the company in this country
they will be received cordially, and We
