MISS ADA CROSSLEY
The famous contralto, Miss Ada Crossley, perhaps the most popular singer who has ever visited Auckland, will commence a season of three nights at His Majesty’s Theatre on Thursday next. Those who had the good fortune to hear Miss Crossley when she was last here will need no second telling that they are in for a very genuine musical treat. It has often been said that whereas Madame Melba’s singing appeals to the head, Miss Crossley’s reaches the heart, and there is much truth in the statement. To hear Miss Crossley,’ for instance, render the beautiful song “Maying” is an experience that dwells in the recollection for a lifetime. The box plan opens on Monday next, and one may well expect a rush to hear this great queen of song.
