COMES FROM IDAHO WILDS TO
SING IN PORTLAND CONCERT
Mme. Lillian Nordica Tells of Her Tirst Attack of "Simplelifitis" Also
Waxes Enthusiastic Over Her Opera-Honse and School
for American Girls on the Hudson.
BY NANCY I.EB.
NORDICA Is here. I was apprised
of the fact by Wynn Coman,
whom I met yesterday afternoon
alighting: from a taximeter.
"I have Just left Mme. Nordica," said
she. "Would you like to take a drive
with me and call on her?"
I confess it took no particular amount
of bribing-, . and with a decided degree
of alacrity the invitation was accepted
and we were whirled to the apartments
at the Hotel Portland of the glorious
American diva to meet the famous Lil
lian, whose superb voice, full of bril
liancy and limpid tones, has swayed
the intelligent audiences of the world
a voice which Interprets the entire
gamut of human emotions and depicts
with such Ineffable charm tenderness,
gaiety, pathos, consuming anger, poign
ant grief and despair.
Upon arriving at the hotel we were
announced by madame's superior-looking
.chocolate-colored servant into a
drawing-room converted Into a bower
of flowers and redolent with perfume.
At this juncture, Mme. Nordica Joined
us. extending a cordial hand, and re
called our previous meeting. Broad of
shoulder, and with regal bearing, she
at once commands respect. However,
the dominant feature, her kindly face,
certainly suggests womanliness and
lark of ostentation.
The conversation drifted to her hur
ried trip to Portland, whither she had
coma on short notice to appear Thurs
day evening as soloist for the New
York Symphony Orchestra in some of
the Wagnerian roles in which she has
appeared, namely: Klsa In "Lohengrin"
and the three Hrunhlldes. Mme. Nor
dica has been recuperating for a few
weeks past in the interior of Idaho and
Is most enthusiastic over the rural at
mosphere and her first attack of "sim
plelifitis." "For the first time In my life I held a
shotgun," said she, "and my enthusiasm
was unbounded. I donned the short
lengthed costume and experienced great
sport in hunting. The Intricacies of a
threshing machine were duly explained
to me and upon being hoisted to the top
of the stack, I discovered, to the sur
prise of the crew, that a Plymouth Rock
hen had In some unaccountable manner
flown there and was hatching a brood
of cunning chickens, a surely novel
spectacle for a city-bred woman who
was unaccustomed to the delights of a
life In agricultural neighborhoods."
' Later I suggested that Mme. Nordica
tell more of her stupendous plans for
building an opera-house and school for
Americans on. the Hudson. She imme
diately waxed enthusiastic over her plans,
which; in all probability, will be con
summated within the coming year. With
remarkable generosity she has con
tributed 40 acres of ground at Harmon, on
the Hudson on which to build an opera
house, an exact replica of the famous
Wagnerian theater at Beyreuth, whtch
is under the personal direction of Frau
Wagner. At Harmon the famous Wag
nerian roles will also be given. Adjoin
ing the Opera-House. 'she la to endow
a school for Americans, but primarily
for girls, where ambitious women are to
obtain the tutelage of the most famous
musicians here and abroad. In this
Mme. Nordica has already elicited the
hearty co-operation of David Bispham,
Km ma Karnes, Walter Damrosch and
other lights. The girls are to be given
every advantage. They will be given
the opportunity of hearing the greatest
singers brought from foreign lands, and
of being examined before an experienced
board. . '
"This," said the prima donna, "will en
able Americans to receive all the ad
vantages of toreipn Instruction In their
own country. It will then eliminate the
many tragedies that have befallen those
who have been persuaded by admiring
friends to seek laurels abroad, only to
find intimately that they were wholly
unqualified to compete with foreign
artists. The opera school will continue
during the Summer months with frequent
performances. In addition the foyer of
the theater is to be hung with works of
various American artists and will event
ually become a permanent art exhibi
tion." Too much cannot be said of this great
undertaking for the benefit of the Amer
ican people. With a woman of Mme.
Nordlca's electrical personality back of
it, her tremendous enthusiasm and her
host of admiring friends, it will eventu
ally be a success which will be memor
able. Portlanders are most fortunate In hear
ing Nordica In ESsa. In this same
role she sang before Queen Victoria at
Windsor Castle on her sixtieth anniver
sary and received a veritable ovation.
After leaving the Queen's presence the
diva missed a small brooch and asked
one of the maids of honor to send It to
her hotel, if found. The following day
the missing brooch was returned and
another worth many times her own, with
the compliments of the Queen, was sent
her. The great soloist will delight music-
lovers as she has done in the past on
the occasion of the Damrosch concerts.

Takes Rainy Weather
as Personal Affront
Portland Bimlnrs Man Who I" Mad
Beouose Showm Continue, and Is
Getting; Maildfr Every Day.
"I
T'S a nice, 'open' 'Winter we are
having, Isn't it?" asked a down
town business man of another yester
day morning, as he stuck his head in
the latter's office for a moment.
When the latter reached for a handy
book to fling at the visitor's head, the
latter dodged. Surprised at his recep
tion, he came in and asked if the ag
grieved business man had been betting
wrong on the election or what it was J
that caused him to be angry.
"This weather business is getting on
my nerves," was the reply. "This Is
fierce. I am burning as much wood at
home as I do in the Winter. Every time
I try to wear my straw hat I get
rained on. Every time I want to go
out for a picnic and take the kids, the
sun forgets to come out, but the clouds
are on the Job. as usual. Every morn
ing when I look at the paper I seethe
same old forecast: 'Cloudy, with show
ers.' It's enough to make a man fight
with his grandmother. It Is no longer
a joke with me; it's a personal griev
ance." "But what good does it do to get
sore about it?" asked his friend.
. "That's just it. It don't do any good,
and that Is where the trouble Is. That
Is what makes me so mad. Every time,
anybody gets to talking weather, I
lose my temper. Some even try to
spring that old gag about It being very
unusual. But that makes me madder
than anything. Everywhere you go
you find the usual unusual weather.
"Here is the Rose Festival and show
ers. Let the poet rave about 'What so
rare as a day In June?' I can tell him.
The answer is a little ray of sunshine.
I'm getting darned good and tired of
thia," and his features assumed an ex
pression as dark and vindictive as the
'louds. as he looked out the window at
the pattering raindrops.
