1t will be seen that the evening concert
programme brings a special invitation tc
sll who have heard Mime. Nilsson, al
American by adoption, il not at heart
She is to sing the "Jcwel Song" from
Faust, and the music, of tae third ac
of LOhengrjn, the only opera OF Wagner
her repertoire contains. Nine. Nilsson wai
heard in Memphis once hefore, away bacl
in the seventies. She then made an i'm
preston that will never be effaced. TIL,
| pathetic tenderness with which on tina
occasion she invested the homely melod,
of the "Sewanee River touched ever,
heart as by divine hand, and bound th'
artist and her auditors by bonds that tint
cannot sever. The soul-felt feeling will
which she bridged the wsy to every hear
in that vast audience by that simplest o
simple songs was a remarkable contras
with the mad scene in Ambrdise Thomas
4mld, which she sang with startling
vivid and intense dramatic feryor. Sh,
at once took her place among the estah
lished fayorites of Memphis, and ha
reigned there in silence ever since tn
queen of song. Men and women hav
forgotten the superb abilities by whicl
Nilsson has maintained her position a
the greatest of living lyric artists. and re
call her only by the negro ballad, tt
which she gave new meaning by effectiv
phrasing,a pure method and asympatheti
comprehension of the spirit and purpos
oi the crude doggerel. Since that memor
able night in the Greenlaw 0perahouse
when the ministry OF song was so tenderl
and touchingly exemplified rs to brin
tears from every eye, the artist has tray
eled far and near in the world and ha
been crowned with the applause of vas
audiences in all the capitals OF Europe an
America kings and queens have vie
with each other in their recognition of he
gifts and the exaltation OF her mer1ts, bu
here she has been borne in the publ
heart as the vocalist whose magnetic touc
with magic power unlocked the springs
the human heart and carried thousand
back to the home and freside of earl
youth and for a brief moment made ther
children again. No one of Missions tr
umphs was more secure than this, non
of them so lasting, none of them so tr,I,
! The memory o. it assures her tonight th
J warmest welcome that Southern hear
can give.
