COMING TO THE ADELPIII IN A NEW PLAY
NORDICA THE SONGBIRD
A PRODIGIOUS WORKER
Earned Great Fees, But First She Ever
Received Was Paid For Silence.
Apart from her artistic achievements, SIme.
Nordlca, for many years one of the most popu
lar soprano vocalists on the operatic and con
cert stage, whose recent death was so widely
deplored on both sides of tho Atlantic, enjoyed
the distinction of being tha greatest woman
wage-earner In the world, On one occasion she
received a feo 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 23 weeks an average of nearly four
concerts per week for -which she received tha
total sum of 33,0O0, or .ESSO for each appeai
nnce. 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. Curiously enough and Mm. Nordlca herself
often told the story tho first fee she ever
received waa not for singing, but for consent
ing not to sing. As a little girl at her homo
In Farmlngton, Mass., she used to love to try
her voice at all times, and, much to the an
noyance of her elder ststers, would persist In
joining In with them whenever they sang duets
together. So, In order to silence tho future
diva, they resorted to bribery and gave her
some money on condition that she promised to
keep quiet.
It was Mine. Nordlca'a greatest delight, how
ever, to 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
given over to tha use of her old servants, who
lived in tha greatest comfort.
No singer ever worked harder than SIme.
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 havo pained fame and fortune," her
friends would sometimes remark to her. MWh
do you go on singing?"
To such Inquiries Mine. Nordlca would oty
that art is to every artist the breath of life,
and It was that passionate devotion to her art
which chained her to tha stage and concert
platform, when she might have been enjoying
well-earned repose in one of her country homes
To young aspirants for operatic honors who
sought her advice, SIme. Nordlca was always
kind. But, as she once remarked, "if j-oU aro
a singer at all. you have always been one.
All great singers will tell you that they have
sung from their earliest childhood. If you have
any future as a singer, you must have done
something before you are 2t,
