THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL', PORTLAND, UND AY MORNING. JUNE 7, 1908.- ?S f. ; TPr' n riiN- rrA H-J 'AsJs ' -y . 1WISH that every one might have the ' privilege of meeting Madame Nor dice, for she has one of the most winning- personalities I have ; ever known. s Much of this shows la her work before the public, for a alngrer'a . heart i shown In her sonev If It la a cold,-hard, calculating, heart the audi enee feels a lack of sympathy and an inability to wake up. It It la a big. warm, generoua ;. heart, the audience know it Just, aa truly, . and responds with the quickness of a magnetic touch. V- I wonder how many of you heard "La , Gloconda" given last year at the Heillg by the Ban Carlos Opera oompanjrt . Do ; you remember that everything waa late; that the train had been wrecked or de : laved by the floods, and that the bag- gage coach "which carried the , music waa . left : behind when the paaaenger coaches were pushed ahead to hurry in late to their destination? The manager came out and announced that the music "had not -arrived and begged the indulg enee Of the audience while the orchestra started as best li was able with only a pianist's and a director's score. The - curtain went iip at o'clock, with two violins, a Piano and a horn or two bravely trying to make a noise like aa orchestra, v - '--j .!-.--"- Every one tried to be indulgent; the music of Ponchiellls opera la not 1n " splrlnsj at its best; a mouse got ,looe . and ran merrily up and down the aisles, ' the only merry thing in the building; people were frowning and looking yawn ingly at their watches; even the Heillg theatre, which looks quite Bright and c heery when . comic ; opera is ' being played within Us walls, took on a dreary look, and in my memory I have a bleak ' impression of dark rafters overhead a cold wind whistling down the aisles and low-burning, evil-smelling lamps. :-a. But suddenly there was a ray of light in the general desolation. - It grew, and warmed and lighted the whole room : , and people forgot to yawn In their as tonishment They , opened their eyes wide- and sat up to see what hud hap pened. The rambling mouse, the cold room, the struggling music were for gotten. Madame Nordica as tha Glo conda was that ray of light. She came out on the stage with her beautiful voice and her pervading personality and juarauy raised inat opera zrom tne dead. i nav never aeen a more startling ex ample of life being given taA dead imng.. one sang ana sne actea asTT she knew that everything rested on her shoulders, and that night she proved that without her voice aha would atill ; have made a success on the stage.- But she put so much of herself into her i work that she must have been a very tired woman that night. Thursday night I saw her for a brief moment arter tne concert ana she was lying languidly back in her chair, al most too tired to make bar way to her carriage. A woman wno- gives so much ' of herself to her song must naturally r8 urea, sue tnougn it snowed in her : position and' her face she was aa wide awaRe ana personally interested aa aver. "Oh, It waa a beautiful concert, was It notn she said. "They played so well And when reminded of her ' large share In making it 'beautiful and of the unusual entnusiasm shown, she said: "Oh, weren't they dear, to be so nice to meT -1 appreciate It so much, so .much." ' : -: She explained that It was tiring to have so many- different' kinds of songs ; -on a program ; tnat to pass rrom one mood to another exactly, opposite Is ? fatiguing, and In regard to, Isolde's : Xiiebestod she aald: "That last number I sang few people know how hard it is to sing. To sit there and feel : tha orchestra1 music thrill to your very soul, waiting for , your own notes, is trying. And it Is a ' difficult thing to sing. If you should once go off for a single note you never 'could get back on again." ' And then, as I left her, she told how much she had enjoyed seeing Portland for more than a day, and how much she had enjoyed "the fete which Miss Steers and Miss Coman had arranged for roe. Wasn't it lovely of them to have these parades for met" And she - spoke, enthusiastically of the spectacu lar display of, the spirit of the Golden West parade. ;;;. V, v,v --..5S But that la Nordica. She observes the things around her and becomes inter ested. Merely , because she is not of your lire all tha time Is to her no rea son why aha should not be for tha time she Is with VOU. She left Fridav morn ing and declared her Intention of going rigni oaca to tne haystack to continue ner inierrupiea vacation. "Tou will have to take me as t am ' ; she said Tuesday afternoon, "for they, have not given me time to get ready. , 1 haven't any shiny things" with a be witching little pucker of self-disapproval, so I shall have to wear some oi your roses, ana I am going to wear your colors to show that I know there Is a festival here." - .

There is much of the operatlo about his style, a natural result of tha years he spent on tha stage.

"- i: 'i, Mrs. Blanche Irbe Kofoed waa heard for the second time in public, -but un fortunately she was not in very good voice. In her closing number a dra matio Meyerbeer selection, she awak ened to her better efforts. She has a strong soprano voice, but when she does not sing rortissimo her notes are far sweeter. Mrs. Kofoed presented ' that evening Miss Harriet Johnson,- a contralto of unusual merit. Her voice is rich and strong and her notes are sweet, but she is only in the -beginning of. her -work yet.
