The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-05-12

vania, within many years. The receipts exceeded
SO 900 and of the $500 persons in attendance
some came from points distant as HaZieton,
Bloomsbury, Towanda and Forest City. The
management Of the concert had expected that
not more than 200 persons would attend from
Carbondae, Scranton and intermediate places
Instead, $40 attended, the Scranton contingent
being the largest single delegation represented in
the vast concourse OF people that filled the
Wilkes Barre armory. Fred c. Hand, who had
charge of the Scranton arrangements, naturally
feels elated over this showing, and when the
circumstances understood, he is entitled to
considerable credit for it, The Nordca concert,
strange to say, was a financial success. The
margin of profit was not large, but it was COM
Portable. The singers cost S2,4OO, OF which
Mme Nordica received $1,000. The other eN-
pcnses were probably 800 more. It was an
exceptional risk which Mr.. Russell took when
he caused his Keystone Lyceum bureau TO on
gage so expensive array of talent and put
down a big cash guarantee in advance; but
all's well that ends well.
