part is one which calls for great YER

comedy displays at one time. intense emo

here and there. Mr.. Hopper has been uni-

carefully studied Interpretation of the role.

Sale of Seats for the Event to Open
Tuesday Morning.
AS Kansas City will have no grand opera
this season, there will be special interest
among musical followers in the Nordica
concert of February 9, for which the adj
vance sale of seats will open at the Union
Pacific ticket office next Tuesday morning.
Madame Nordica is one of the greatest fig
ures among operate artists to-day, and as
her concert programmes are made up al
most entirely of operatic numbers her ap-
pearanCe here will be fraught with eXtraor-
binary Importance. NordiCa's associate
artists in her concert tour are Madame
ScalChi. the most popular contralto of this
generation; Mr.. Barron Berthold. whose
appearance as LOhengrin in Boston two
seasons ago placed him in the front rank
of operate tenors. where he has remained
to further distinguish himself, and Mr..

there is no doubt that Il strong list of num-
bers will be sung here.
Mr.. Kronberg being unable to secure
any of the larger theaters for the only time
he could engage Madame Nordica, placed
the attraction at the GilliSs. AS this thea
ter has the smallest seating capacity of the
local houses. those who desire choice lGca-
tionS will find it necessary to make their
selections early. 1t has been Il long time
since the GilliSS has commanded the atten-
tion of the musical and social element in
Kansas City. but some of the scenes of the
early history of the theater will be repeat
ed in this event, for which the house will
be thoroughly renovated and otherwise
made entirely appropriate for the recep-
| tion of this distinguished artistic and her
| adn.ircrs The prices for the Nordlica con-
/ cert will range from 81 to s., with a general

decorated by the HindOo maEicianS with

devising which he performed for them-an
