this afternoon when the attraction known
for the past three seasons as "The Nancy

In these times, when everybody is talk

it treats of is American, it was written by
an American. it is played by American
actors and was named indirectly after the
mother of one of the greatest Americans.

Nine. Gorka has "a powerful dramatic
soprano Of much sympathetic quality,
in fact one of her, hearers remarked that
you rarely heard a voice through which
such vein of sadness ran. The pro-
gramme embraced selections well adapted
to display the dramatic quality of her
style and to show the capabilities of her
voice. She was accompanied by M. Goya
Coccejo-a violinist of taste and much
technique, and Miss Jordan, pianist The
audience was much delighted with the
concert, and it is hoped that the receipts
will be sufficient to enable Mime. Gorka
and M. Coccejo to reach their friends in
New York. This was yesterdays pro-
gramme:
