Emma Nevada last night at the Wor-
cester Theatre. Despite the discour-
agement of the small house all the art
lists did splendid work which drew a
number of encores.
Naturally Nine. Nevada was the

did not really warm up until she made
her appearance. Clad in a Grecian
costume with her hair gracefully
caught with a fillet, the white Of the
simple gown relieved by gold embroid-

and saw in her only a wonderful sing
er. thrilling the listeners as she did
when heard here a dozen years ago.

in a most brilliant manner. His bow

full Of expression.
Maquarre gave two beautiful flute
selections, and played a flute accom-
songs. His work was very smooth and
