A COUSIN.

One of the most pleasing effects
in "NANCY," the new comedy in
which Miss Daisy Cameron will be
seen at the opera house on Oct.
18th, is the curtain of the first act
All through the last scene, Miss
Cameron works with the theatre
and stage in absolute darkness, with
the exception of the red glow of an
old cock stove. In this particular
scene, the dramatic situation is SO
intense that even though there is not
a word spoken for nearly two min
utes, you can hear pin drop or a
breath taken unusually strong by
any member of the audience. Dur
ing the action of the play, Miss
Cannon will sing several selections
of the swingy order, and of the b G
culatura variety. In recent criti-
cism Montreal paper saws, omar
celia Sembrich" alone has the color
atura power of singing of Daisy
Cameron. The greatest of colora-
tura singers was Adellne Patti, who
is now gone from us but Daisy
Cameron can run her a close second.

sat down to the feast
The mayor had Admiral Murdoch at
his right and Ambassador Reid at his
left. British and American flags were
draped back of the guests table. In
proposing toast to the United States
navy, Sir Thomas said the present was
the first occasion when Guild hall,
which had witnessed the reception OF
naval heroes like Nelson. Howe, Rod
aey, Collinwood and Drake, had been
PRINTED to welcome as friends and
allies in the amenities of citizenship

and cousins from the other side of the

foreign power. America is an integral
part of the English speaking family"

of the American navy as one of ma

one of foreign born, as is sometirn es
supposed. He described it as an in
strument of peace. Referring to the
many questions between the two conn
tries that have been settled by arbi-
tration, the speaker said it was incon-
ceivable that any question could arise
impossible of such solution
Mr.. Reid offered toast to the
mayor and the corporation, whom he
thanked warmly for their hospitality
He said that every American oficer
realized what such an entertainment
in the historic hall of the first civ of
the world meant and also realized what
the Stars and Stripes and the Union
Jack together might mean. and
never forget that they were twin ffaps
representing one race.

Two or three times in the play the
well known Taftian laugh sounded
above the general applause and it in
variably made as great a hit with the
audience as the telling points Of the
play and the clever work OF the prin-
cipals.
Information that the president was
to attend the show was withheld at the
theater at the request of the president
until a few minutes before the time for
the curtain to rise. Then the word was

a furore in New York last season when
it was presented under the name of

Grand last night by Vaughan Chaser,
supported by Miss Fay Courtney. 1t
