ADJUSTMENTS.

Madam Lillian Nordica. the. great ope- ,
ratio prima donna, will be greeted by an
immense audience when she comes to the
Academy to give a song recital next
Monday night.
The advance sale has been very large.
though there are many good seats re.
naming in all sections of the house al
present. The fear that the tickets might
get into the hands of SPECTATORS, VINO
We're ready and willing to speculate on
the popularity Of the peerless singer IS
SO far groundless, for there are seats to
spare at the box Office at the Academy
at the regular prices.
The recital to be, given by Madam Nor
dica will be a remarka BILE treat to the
music and art loving people of this city.
It is a distinct departure from the regu-
lar recital, and will show the artist at
her best in the fields of opera, oratorio and
ballad singing. When Nordica came here
in 1896 she was supported by a company
of four artists. She only sang two num-
bers. though she very graciously respond
ed to numerous encores. This year she
will giye@th the concert practically by her
self. though she will be assisted by
pianiSts of name and fame.
Her programme, which will be published
tomorrow, is divided into four parts. She
will sing the famous songs Of Elsa, in
Lohen grin and other characters in opera
with which she has beer; so prominently
identified. She will also sing selections
from the oratorios that she has appeared
in, insalI parts of this country and Eu.
rope, notably from the Elijah, which the
Wednesday Club will sing here this
spring. The English and American bal
lads will be an unqualified delight TO
every one, and it is difficult to imagine
q more charming and attractive musical
treat than that which Madam Nordica'
will give US next Monday. =,
Fiddle Dee Dee will close its engage
ment at the Bijou with matinee and
night performances to-day. closing the.
most successful week in the history Of
the theatre. Some thought that the Bijou
could not afford such a great big attrac-
ton, but it was demonstrated again that
there ie nothing too good for the Bitor.
Fiddle Dee Dec has certainly been n
pleasing attraction for ladies and chit
fdren.a and the show will close entertain
ing two great audiences.
