Moreeka and Her Celebrated Com
pany at the Academy Tonight.
That was a slim audience at the
academy l ist night. It was thought
that a good audtenes would greet th
gifted Italian artist Moreeka after
ths resent talk about forming a stock
company to induss such attraction to
tb lty. Such wss not ths ease. A
good bona should Jtara out tonight.
It 1 seldom that Baleigb is visited
by snch a great singer. The musle
loving publlo ihould appreciate this
fact.
Nothing bot praise wss beard of
her singing last night. Bignorima
Morsska is possessed of a brilliant so
prano voice of great volume and dra-
matie power. The small audience was
thoroughly appreciative of her work
and gave hearty encores.
Ths rendition of Ava Maria, by
Iioasl was particularly good, tirand
Aria from "Traviata" revealed a rich
ness snd volume of vocal power which
is rarely heard.
Signer Gore is a pianist of note
Bis performances last evening Were
meritorious indeed. He is a skilled
musician.
Miss Charlotte Samuel is sn accom
plished violinist. Her work was en
joyed and appreciated by the audi
ence. She was enjored every time
The company la Indeed a deserving
one. A good Dome snouia greet
tbem.
Tonight the gifted artist, Signorina
uorsBks, will produoe the "Mad
Scene" from Lucia in costume, this
ill in ifsslf draw out the entire ar-
tl tie music loving peoplv of Raleigh.
Never before has an artist attempted
this beautiful yet tragic piece of work
here.
The beautiful portraying of thought,
the ever-ehanging mood of charac
ter, as embodied la the "Mad Scene"
ill be remembered by thoss who have
eeea fortunate enough to have heard
t, how, when cursed by her lover for
uer apparent unfaithfulness, after her
brother had, by falas letters, led her
to believe her lover had tired of her,
he having been oalled away to war,
is letters to Lucia having been re-
cived and destroyed by her brother.
rhe scene is filled with beautiful
thoughts, and finally la her madnees
and through the loathing of her hua
oand, she slsys him and then herself.
No greater or more artistic soprano
than Moreeka has ever appeared In
Raleigh, and it is ssfs te say that a
large and appreeistlvs audience will
greet her tonight.
