He&id in Song at Ea&tra Carolina Exposition. (From Metropolitan Musical Bureau). Due doubtless to the self-reprepsing influences of her earlier English Dutch ancestry, Anna Case, the young so prano of the Metropolitan Opera Co., whose songs will be heard at the East ern Carolina Exposition in Greenville, April 6th, is an excellent exponent of the Gospel' of Restraint. r. . .1; c While other artists are frequently "sung out"', "played out", talked out", "tired out", "wofn out", and not in frequently "thrown out", the most prolonged interview with Anna Case, like the close of her hardest song rfr -ii-t a?L-.- ?..tw . uiaij jLinud iit'i; aiwajTD wavii .? u?wv something in hand in the way of re serve of artistic strength. This ?*?.'. serve apparently cannot be overdrawn. It is one of the most charming fea tures of her highly-polished presenta tion of lovely songs that Anna Case? to use an apt term borrowed from the thoroughbred racing stable?never ex tends herself unduly. She always had a bit in hand for the finish, and thee, continuing the simile, she has a little bit more left for the gallop home. That there is a latent fire, a little slumbering volcano within Anna Case is evident in her every move, every phase of her tempo ramont, every phase spoken or sung, every gestae* thrown out by the eloquent hands- or ,by the much more eloquent eyes, hat that this fire is seldom stirred is equally evident. There isA wonderful - poise, and the most complete seftse ef /? - restraint in all the great dH o# UriMr* Case. Some of her Italian -l&iends* .. might litem see a little-more 'slando' in her. Jbut then an American girl, with* the cooler serve, however, there is in the blae-r^ eyes of Anna Case a great desire for and a great love of play. At heart she is. a very simple cHld who ha*;. never grown up; and we hope that sit* may never-grow up, ? - WEEK OF PRAYER BEING OBSERVED BY W. M. S. The regular ironthly meeting of the , .
