In to&ny rt npecU hir's was tho most pnjoyablo conenrt of tho tlre. Nordica Is more dramatic than Scliumann-Hclnk, though not so human, and Is much morn sympa thetic and pleasing than Qadnkl. Sel dom Is an opera star ot her magni tude so gracious In concert and sel dom Is sho so successful In a pro gram as varied as was Friday even ing's. Violinist Hltarca Honors Tho "big" numbers wer tho Ma dame llutterfly aria, "Tho Tears at the Sprlnjt." "Lo Nile," with violin olillgato, and tho familiar dramatic number Schubert's Erlklnp. This last Nordica Interpreted vastly dif ferent from Schumann-IIetnk and Oadskl but aade It nevertheless ntartincly effective. Tho voice of the erlklng was given a soft vrlerd appeal quite different from tho alrely graco and lilt given It by the other artists. William Hummel), violinist, shared tho honors with tho famous singer. To suit the accoustlcs of the hall lie was forced' to use the mute In many numbers usually not so played but his wonderful tone and tempera mental style captivated his hearers who demanded many encores. The "Caprice Vlennols," always delight ful was played la superb style and the "Humoreaque" or Dvorak, played with an absence ot the usual stac cato, wilt long be remembered. Her Flue Actcunpaabt Itomayno Simmons, who has ac companied Nordica tor years, suits the piano to her voice In Ideal man ner. Ills accompaniment to the Erlklng varies so much from the es tablished as to cause a storm ot dls cu anion in local musical circles.
