Annie Louise Cary, the first of Maine
great prima donnas, is coming to Port
land to celebrate her 18th birthday an
niversary next October, when she will
be the honored guest Of the Maine mu
sic festival. While she comes to Prout'
Neck for her summers it has been near
ly two score years since she has hat
any part in the musical affairs Of thi
State and her presence on this coca
sion will doubtlessly call out hundred
Of those who knew and admired her i,
her days Of world wide triumph. Ami,
Louise Cary was born in the town O
Wayne, Oct. %, 1871. She graduated
from the Female Seminary in Gorhan
in 1860, after which she studied musi,

sang the principal contralto and mezzo
soprano roles Of grand opera, tourir<
both Europe and America and, makinf
for herself lasting name in the worlt
Of music. In 1882 she married Charlie,

stage when she was in her prime AND
she never sang afterwards except To-
the entertainment Of her persona
friends or for charity. It was Cary

lasting place in the musical world
Two Of these daughters Of the Pin,
Tree State. have retired from the stax.
and Nordica has passed on to .ths
