The sale of seats for the Nordica song
recital will begin at Stansfield's drug
store at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning
Numbers will be given out to those who
are standing in line, beginning at Z
o'clock. There is sure to be a large
number of people in line at an early
hour. The demand for seats will proba-
bly, be much larger than was at first
anticipated There are exactly 1868
seats to be sold. Each seat will cost one
dollar. Every seat in the Auditorium
will be a good seat for the reason that
the stage may be seen we'll from every
seat, and the acoustic properties render
the seats in the rear of the house al
most as desirable as those in the front.
The sale of seats to parties outside the
city has exceeded expectations. When
the chart was laid out about 700 seats
were reserved for sale to outside parties.
Nearly every one of this reservation has
been taken. The section reserved for To-
peka people will not be encroached upon
in favor of outside parties and after to-
night outside people must take even
chances with Topeka people for seats

The Nordica engagement gives prom
Use of proving to be one of the most
notable engagements for the entertain
ment of Topeka people to be brought
here this season. The San Francisco
Call says of Nordica's appearance
there:
"A house full of enthusiastic music
lovers stood and cried bravo at Met
ropolitan hall last evening. Mime. Lii
liam Nordica had just finished singing
the call of Brunhilde to the 'Valkyries,
her final number in her first recital and
the interest in her performance that
had been continually on the increase
found elimination then. The audience
was fairly representative of musical
San Francisco. Society was there in
some strength. but the occasion was
not made society affair. Music, pure
and simple, was the attraction, and
there was an abundance. of that and of
very excellent quality. In addition to
the .Brunhilde song Nordica sang seven
teen others of varying degrees of tech
meal difficulty. Such an array of num-
bers would stagger belief unless due
care were devoted to the study of the
programme.
The selection and arrangement of
the programme was work of great
Skill and exemplified in a most remark
able way how soloiSt with a tender /
throat may sing an entire evening and
not be in immediate danger Of injury \
therefrom."
