Along these lines Carmen was portrayed with marvellous consistency and effective- ness. Her Interpretation Unique. {Asa singer Miss Gay had her happy | moments. At first her contralto voice | was especially pleasing. Later It seemed } to tire and lose something of its quality. In the teasing numbers of the-first act $t was very attractive. So it was in @the scenes in Lillas Pastta’s Inn. Some- | <-thing was missed of the tragic portent ef the card episode and of the tender- ness in the lovely duet with Escamillo in the last act.

In the first act she wore a plain frock of dull red of a cheap quality that befitted her station. Over + turn she coquettishly transferred to her neck and her waist. In Lillas Pastia’s inn her green gown naturally was of bet- | ter quality, and before the Plaza de/ Toros she was richly garbed.

But th ure and the pre- ludes were played delightfully and the dance music was exquisite’y done. The ballet in the last act was of exceptional _.daintiness and grace.
