ADJUSTMENTS.

The New Years event at the Salt
Lake theatre proved a gala occasion
indeed. The house was filed with a
brilliant audience. which was most
! enthusiastic throughout the entire
/ programme Indeed, it began to look
/ as though spontaneous enthusiasm de-
/ VGloped into the encore mania before
/ the evening was over. NOtwithstand-
( ing the fact that old opera-gOers will
/ tell you that they heard Nine Nevada
I ever so many years ago, she is still
I great artist, and fully deserves the
warm reception she has everywhere re-
/ eeived. Her voice is not powerful. but
/ It is sweet, clear, true, and, what is
rare in light soprano, il is sympa-
thetic. Particularly noticeable were
/ the perfect control and marvellous
shading of her tones.
Her first number was her famous
BELL Song" from Delibes' ''Lallme."
This won a recall and the diva sang a
beautiful encore. Red Roses or
White" Her second number consisted
of two songs, one in German and one
in French; her encore song was a
dainty German ballad.
The prima donna sang the shadow
Song from DinOrah as a final number
on the programme. but the audience
refused to go, and after she had bowed
her acknowledgements repeatedly, shs
slipped off her gloves, seated herself
at the piano and sang Listen to the
M0cking Bird to her own accOmpanl-
ment This simple ballad showed the
tenderness of the singers voice wonder
fully well, and the audience was held
spell bound.
The enjoyment Of Nevada's singing
will not soon be forgotten by those
who heard her. Not alone is she a
great artist. but she is a charming
woman as well, and her personality
finds reflection ia the tones OF her
voice.
The support was competent. Louis
BlumenbeTg, 'cellist, completely cap
tured the audience by his playing and
was most enthusiastically received and
recalled. Ar. Selden Pratt was an
artistic accompanies and also proved
himself to be d concert pianist OF
ability. he rendered several numbers
in splendid style.
