NORDtCA SCORES
PERSONAL TRIUMPH
HER
CONCERT
Mailamo Lillian Nanllcn, tlia third
mntropolttan iranO opera star to
lnK In Medford ibis season, scored
a warm personal triumph In Med
ford Friday evening. 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.

If an nudlenco Is rcsponslvo It Is a
great aid In my work and stnglng Is a
pleasure, but somo audiences are
cold, and then It Is work.
"I was truly surprised nt my
audience. They followed my sing

a superior knowledge ot music, some
thing which Is generally lacking In
the smaller cities.

liavo wonderful people here. Such
a charming valley Is bound to at
