Returning to England, Mrs. Kelly
sang in concert in London with Plunket
Greene and other noted singers; also in
concert at New Brighton, Calwyn Bay
North Wales and ait Newton the-Wil-
lows, near Liverpool. OF her singing
at Colwyn Bay, the Chronicle says
1T was no ordinary treat to hear the
charming notes of Madame Bradley
with her wonderful compass of voice
and sweetness of expression in such
songs as rendered by her" The Guar
dian Of the concert at Newton also
says: Madame Hettie Bradley (Mrs
John Ainsworth Kelly is a lady whose
singing has been very warmly spoken
of by the people of New York an6
other American papers and all who
heard her last night came away with
a satisfied feeling that all the Amer
lean press cuttings are not the exag-
gerated impositons that we are led to
believe some Of them are; for in this
case their complimentary notices We're
fully justified. The husband of this
United States nightingale lived here
before he crossed the herring pond
Hence her visit to these parts for q
few days on her way back from the
Old World to the New" The Guardian
goes on to say that the principal singer
Madame Bradley, opened the concert
with CAMS song, THE Nightingale
Trill," a concert piece well adapted tt
prove what can be done by practice
with a good voice in the way of shakes
and trills. She also sang II Guess
Would, Wouldn't Your Ave Maria
and 1.-THE Holy City" Tin response tc
the storm of applause at the close the
singer returned and bowed her acknowl
edgments, but was again recalled anC
the audience would not rest till she
came back again and sang Home
ornaments of The Nightingale's Trill
were forgotten in the sweet touching
simplicity of that dear old song"
