LILLIAN NORDICA.
n.Mi:. LILLIAN NOltniCA lfitelied Xew York city ln.t Saturday on
tin: American line slcunioi HI. J.otils, for lir-r llrst iriins-c-e'titlni-iitui
i-ci'ltnl tour. .Madame JS'ordira is in stipcrl) hunltli mid RlorlotiH
voice, having: enjoyed a Ioiir mimmor's rest in the Ulack l-'oreat,
and fresh from lier tviuiiipliK in Munich, where idle satip; tile great
roles of Isolde in "Trisltm and Isolde" and Klsa in "I.iiliC'iiKtlii,"' in the new
Trince JteRent theater. Since then, until she sailed, Madame NorJlca lias
been In J'arls, where siliu auKniented her wardrobe with wine kovpous
Kowns, which she will wear at the concert at the Armory next Thursday
night, and where she prepared with minute care, the iiroirraninir;.
On her arrival in New York, .Madame Xordioa found a cablegram an
nouncing that hi-r contract had been accepted and the engagement closed
for her to sing the "Wagnerian roles in Covent fiat-den theater next season.
This is another great triumph for tills great American cantalrlce, similar lo
that accorded her at Munich, where she made such a sensational success
that she was immediately re-engaged for September, 1002. raids tried to
gel Nordica for "Tristan" and "fiolUi'dammerimg" next, summer, but her
'ovent (Jarden engagement at London precludes this. The recital tour now
beginning will cover a vast territory and will consist of nearly one. hundred
recitals. Scranton being- the llrst lo enjoy this unprecedented pleasure. Nor
dlca. will travel in her own private car, "Ilntnliilde," tilted In a most luxur
ious manner. From present appearances, she will receive an ovation at the
Armory next Thursday night.
Pome patrons have worried a little lest her voice will mil be heard well
in that vast auditorium. They are the people who have never heard Nor
dlea in the Metropolitan Orand Opera have, never heard that wondrous
voice, the s-imilitudo of which does not exist today, save as such remnants
linger in the throat of Pattl. Never fear that this beautiful woman with
the most superb range of lone imaginable and the power and art to do any
thing she will with her audiences will not be heard to the limit of the utter
most arch, lie-sides, there is our new founding board: J'or what was it
i retted it not to assist the ears of Hie listeners.'
Tim importance of the coming Opeia
Carnival is being the chief topic of im
portance just now. and its interest Is

Meoitf,
Wewereall pioud of our lovely Uertlia
Cialland the other night, Of course slio
is otii's, why not-,' Wasn't she horn In
this city? Uld nut she live lino through
the happy duys of lier eaily girlhood
and do wo not all feel a ptrsonnl in
terest in the brilliant career of thin lit
tle maid who hill!1 received so many
gifts from the fairy godmother of her
fate-,'
it Is only once In o rc-ntuiy that a
young girl wiilliH into success through
the fiont door of the Palace of Art in
stead of around thiotmli the scullery
environed by thn Irksome Implements
of sordid toll in that sunless at mo.--,
phere and painfully up the no I some
Mali's, to gradutions of advancement,
llertha Oallund lias done, this. Practic
ally her debut was made to the 'public
from (ho unte-rooni to tho throne in
thn I fair palace and when, one of these
day.", phe shall have, ecru red a play
ntlctiuato am truly milled to her unique
talent, vc shall ccc her ntiiiutlne elose
to Hint throne wticrc wo have crowned
few of our country women.
She Is yottng-lhls dear llltte nutlil
or our prltle. Hho comes of 11 family on
both sides unusually gifted and of
strong character. Mho Is proud mul
jmru mul aloof from the blighting In
lllieneea at the profession. Truly, the
godH have been good to her In demand
ing none of the heavy punatlles of
drizzling success.
This does not mean thai chc has not
wrought nut her own way with hnnl
work, self-denial and thai most dllil
cult of nil things, concentration upon
one lofty Ideal. Her good fortune mu
pIstH In the great talent and the per
sonal attractions which have held her
guarded as by an invisible armor from
the taint and the rust of early effort.
UcrthiL Cialland haa as much simplic
ity and unspoiled grace of character
today ns when lu the other yearn she
was the merry playmate of scores of
our young, people. She has received
such ndulollon as few girls as young ns
herself ever know. Hho has had to
deny herself much or the pleasure
which her companions have had
through the years, but it has been as
the wine of life to her for like Steven
son In his fragility of body, she, with
her strong young health, has done her
work with a will because she, loved II,
In the beginning she had no sympathy
from those dearcsl -to her. U was the
hardest struggle lo win lh consent of
her family to a professional career.
Her beautiful mother simply felt that
It must not be so. She could not have
this sweet only daughter on the stage,
but it was Kismet and her friends have
recognized and accepted the fact with
n grace which has bepu resolved into
wonder and pride.
Her great ability In tragic voles wan
admitted from the lire I bill It has be
come evident that she also possesses
possibilities not as yet dimly given free
scope, for tho dainty subtle qualities
that enn make of lighter work the
most artistic successes.
The play has not yet been AWitten
which exactly suits her. Princess Ot
tlllo had a portion of the role. Jseult
shows another possibility but there is
something as yet Intangible which Miss
Ualiaud must interpret in her own way.
Her friends trust that soon this hope
of their hearts may bo realized.
She has been dlllleiill to please with
a succession of plays which were sub
mitted to her and the Frohmans have
great faith in her intentions. She had
refused so many as not what she felt
to be best, that "The Forest Lovers"
was finally accepted as si. dernier re
sort. It is not exactly what one day
she hopes to present.
Miss Cialland deslsned the. costumes
for "The Forest Lovers." One, al least,
of her own deserves more than pass
ing notice. It was the gold dress worn
In the third act. The audience may,
perhaps, wonder why the heroine was
seen for so short a time in this gorgeous
costume. Vhen It is realized that it
weighs forty-five pounds, perhaps it
may be understood why iny little lady
does not desire to flit about the stage
thus encumbered for any prolonged
length of time. It. is so heavy thai lit
tho chest scene a pretense has been
employed in placing- a dress therein
similar in appearance, but of less solid
quality, for the Lady Matifry to lift
from its confines.
Herman, the costumer, of .Yew York,
made the gown according lo Miss CJal
iand's directions. It is cloth of gold,
closely embroidered with sequins by
hand. Quantities of amethysts adorn
the bodice and add to the weight.
"Tho Forest Lovers" appeared In
Wilkes-llarre last night, and from
thence will go on the road for a fort
night, the tour to end in lioston with
an engagement of several weeks.
The fourso of French lessons con
ducted by Professor J. H. Salter, for
merly of Columbia university, is the
best educational enterprise of the kind
that has ever been presented In this
city. Professor Halter's method Is orig
inal and most pleasing. The students
seem to forget self-consciousness and
enter into tho conversation at. every
opportunity. It is expected that a num
ber of pupils will begin the lessons on
Monday, as the professor will assist
them in making" up whatever lias been
missed. His aim is to have the mem
bers of the class think in French, a
feat which they accomplish under his
direction with incredible rapidity. The
lessons are delightfully informal and
are made most entertaining:. Visitors
are welcomed at every session. The
afternoon class meets on the second
floor of St. Luke's parish house every
afternoon but Saturday at I o'eloelc.
Another class meets at S o'clock in the
evening. The lessons last, one hour.
It Is with pleasure that the announce
ment is made of tiie coming, Jieceinher
K, of Miss Heatrice llerford. the most
relebrnted reader in tills or any other
county. Miss llerford will bo here un
der the auspices of the Young- l.adUs'
society of thi! First Presbyterian
I'hui'i'h. AVhatever eiiterlalnmeiU that
body of energetic young people offers
ihe public, It may be depended upon to
be superior to most others.
There will be nu important special
meeting of the members of the Country
club this nftornoon at ! o'clock to con
sider tho question as to whether the
proposed additions and improvements
shall be made to the club house. Plans
and specifications of the projected en
largement will be shown. If It Is de
rided to undertako the work It will
probably be very soon begun.
