ADA CROSSLEYg
DUNEDIN IN LOVE WITH TIIE CONTRALTO[(Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, last night. A' most enthusiastic reception was accorded Miss Ada Crosslcy _ at His Majesty’s Theatre. Despite the worst of weather, the house .was a record one, and nearly IHU of overflow from the stalls was accommodated on the. stage.
The charming personality, of the singer completely won the audience before she had sung a note, and her beautiful vocal sation could not be heard enough. Miss Crossley gave in all eight songs, showing wonderful powers of expression in ballad singing, rendering well-known airs .with most exquisite feeling. Her company is a particularly powerful one, and the verdict was unanimous that a generally finer concert lias not been given in Dunedin.
The young violinist, Jacques ’Jacobs, delighted the audience with his skilful playing. Many beautiful and costly floral tributes to the great contralto were conspicuous on file platform. Herr Benno Sckerek is musical director.
