CARRENO.

Madame Carreno, who is to appear at the Theatre Royal, Nelson, on Monday, August sth,. has just completed a successful season in Dunedin. The local "Evening Star" describes her as the "Queen of pianists," and referring to her first recital says: — "After hearing Me! me Carreno one can understand the unstinted praise of the forerunning notices. They no longer read like flattery. She is not only a great pianist. 86 far as our experience goes dating from Arabella Goddard, Mdme Carreno is peerless. And her distinguished merit is that whilst satisfying the critioal she also elucidates for the benefit of the general public. To understand and appreciate her playing it id not necessary to be a student. . The distinguished visitor's very appearannce bespeaks greatness. She is a striking figure with a regal bearing. Her intellectual face suggests tbat she was born to command, and that if she had studied in other lines she would have become equally famous. " Madame Carreno was frequently encored throughout a most interesting programme, and the concert is described as having been one of the "greatest treats ever held in Dunedin,"the lady having proved herself as "a marvellous artist, in the possession of all her powers."
