NORDICA THE SONGBIRD
A PRODIGIOUS WORKER
Earned Great Fees, But First She Ever
Received Was Paid For Silence.
Apart from her artistic achievements, .Mine.
Nordlca, for many years one of tha most popu
lar soprano vocalists on the operatic and con
cert stage, whose recent death was so widely
deplored on both sides of the Atlantic, enjoyed
tho distinction of being the greatest woman
wage-earner In the world. On one occasion she
received a fee of 600 (J3000) for one concert
of one hour's duration at Washington, .while it
was her custom for several years prior to her
death to sing at a hundred concerts during a
period of 2 weeks an average of nearly foui
concerts per week for which she received the
total sum of 35,000, or 3iQ for each appesi
ance. And so far from such a fee being prohibi
tive, transatlantic managers were always anx
ious to secure their services, and willing to
pay whatever fee this "Queen of Song" demand
ed. Cuilously enough-and Jlme. Nordlca herself
often told the story the rirst fee bhe ever
iccelved was not for singing, but for consent
ing not to sing. Ah a little girl at her home
in Farmlngton, JIass., she used to love to try
her voice nt nil times, nnd, much to the an
noyance of her elder sisters, would persist In
Joining In with them whenever they sang duets
together. So. In order to silence the futuw
diva, they lesorted to bribery and gave her
some money on condition that she promised to
keep quiet.
It was Jlme. Nordia's greatest delight, how
ever, tn spend a portion of the huge fees she
earned in providing for her old servants and
pet animals. As a matter of fact, part of her
estate at Hempstead, on Long Island, was
Kieii over to the use of her old servants, who
lived In tho greatest comfort.
No singer ever worked harder than Jlme.
Nordlca, who thought nothing of traveling
three or four thousand miles In three or four
months, and singing at times every night In
the week.
"You have r-:ned fame and fortune." her
friends would sometimes remark to her. "Wh
do you go on singing?"
To such Inquiries Mine. Nordicn would M;
that art is to eveiy artist the breath of life,
and it was that passionate devotion to her art
which chained her to the stage an.l concert
platform, when she might have beep enjoying
well-earned repose In one of her country homes.
To oung aspirants for operatic honors who
sought her advice. Aline. Nordlca was nlwajs
kind. But, as she once remarked, "If joii are
a singer at all, you have alwass been one
All great singers will tell you that they have
sung from their earliest childhood If vm, i,,v
any future as a singer ou must hae done J
something before you ar 20."
