Adelina Pattr's Adicox to the American § age. A Memorable Event at the Boston Theatre —Saying Good:-byo to Amerioa For the Last Time, Boston Globe. “Home, Sweet Home!” It was this world-famillar rong which Adelina Patti sang Iast night just before she made her last buw before an American audience. The Boston theater, crowded in every part with & briliant assemblage, had been the scene of great and enthusiastic demonstrations of regard before the diva came forward, In resporss to the fourth or fifth recall, to interpret the song which always touches the heart of an Amorlcan audience sonearly. But when the orchestra took up the prelade to “Home, Sweet Home,"” there was a tem - pest of plaudits and shouts of *‘Bravo.” Several moments passed before the vast asscmblage was quioted, One might have heard the rustle of a handkerchief, however, after the diva began the song. Her own feeling of regret at partlng was voiced In the interpreta. tion, Never was the bellad sung with more genaine ex- pression. And the throng was quick to come into sympathy with the feeling of the great artiste, They knew—how, in truth, could they help knowing—that Patti's emotion was unfeigoed, and that she was singing her farewell to Bos‘on and to America with most sincere regrot. And so, after the ‘‘Home, Sweet Home,"” the diva was again summoned before the curtain to acknowledgs a reception that, for cordlal warmth and demonstrative good wlill, one must wait many and many won for Boston to parallel. Mapleson—*‘the Colonel,” as he Is fa- miliarly known—was brought forward after Pattl had been honored by these final plaudits and had kissed her hand to orchestrs, balcony and gallery, by way of thanks, a ssore or more times, with her own pecullar grace.
