Anna Case, Soprani Will B?
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,
