A beautiful Souvenir Album from the Cast of Carmen to
Joseph Donnelly, Esq.
Address to Joseph Donnelly, Esq.
Dear Mr. Donnelly, We, whose names are written on the following pages ask
you to accept this Album, partly as a souvenir of the recent production of
"Carmen" in the Theatre Royal, Belfast, but more particularly as a token of
our gratitude to you for the invaluable assistance you so ungrudgingly gave
us during our preparation for the performances.
The City Amateur Operatic Society, of which we are all members, is largely
indebted to you for the acknowledged success of the production, but we who
were personally aided by your enthusiastic labours and artistic guidance
feel that our debt to you is even greater.
The community of interest has been pleasant indeed and the delightful
intercourse has left many happy memories which can never be effaced. We
rejoice to think that the tie which binds us is one of affectionate
comradeship and we all join in assuring you of our grateful thanks.
