OF the principal roles. Had the opera been brought
out earlier the apathy Of the operate public might
have been removed and sonnet thing like real en-.

dramatic passion OF Nilsson there was the tender
ness, artiessness ana unstudled grace that one
would naturally associate with such character as
Elsa. These attributes were exhibited TO the best
possible advantage In the balcony scene OF the
second act and in the following duet with
Ortrud. In the grand scene with Lohengrn In
