NORDICA DREW BIG AUDIENCE
TOLER WAS NEARLY FILLED TO
HEAR SINGER SECOND TIME.
Music Lovers Appeared Better Pleased
Than Before With DiVa's Wonder
full Soprano Voice.

Another large and delighted audience
turned away from the Toler Auditorium
last night at the close of Madame Nor
dica's song recital Long before time
for the opening number the lower floor
and the greater portion of the gallery
were filed with eager, expectant music
lovers, of whom the greater part had
come from the surrounding towns. Every
incoming train during the day brought its
party. who were coming in expressly for
the Nordica concert
At SIS Madame Nordica appeared, and
was greeted with most tumultuous ap-
plause. which she so gracefully acknowl-
edges. She was elaborately gowned in
white satin, embroidered in silver, the
long, flowing sleeves were of handsome
lace. She wore a large tiara of diamonds
and turquois and encircling her arms Were
diamond bracelets. Other magnificent
Jewels adorned the corsage of her gown.
The first three numbers OF the program
were in English and were faultlessly
sung. The last one, ''In the Month Of
May" was especially sweet. This was
''Tannhauser," which displayed great
power and range.
Following the Wagnerian number were
three Italian numbers which so delighted
the audience that the diva was obliged
to respond. which she gracefully did with
a pleasing little Scotch song, "Tammie.'
The fourth number was Mia Piccer-
ella. Salvador Rosa a beautiful waltz
song. by Comes, after which she respond
ed with a dainty Spring" song.
The next three numbers were in Ger
man. Schumans Waldesgesprach.t the last
of the three. was given with much dra-
matte feeling and power. and was one
of the finest numbers on the program.
In answer to the prolonged applause
which followed this number, she sang
The Sweetest Flower That Blows" a
dainty little encore which is well known,
but seldom so sweetly sung.
For the sixth. an a and b number, she
sang I'm Kahne." by Grieg, and a
Serenade. by Strauss, which was in En-
glish. Following this. for an encore, she
sang Love Go Hang" which was de-
light to her hearers.
The closing number was changed. and
instead of The Jewel Song, from Faust,
as the program read, she sang the opening
selection from the second act of Wag-
ner's die Walkure." 1t was in this
number that one was made to fully real
ize the marvellous power of Nordica's
voice The selection was intensely dra-
matte and it's rendition has never been
surpassed nor equalled before a Wichita
audience. After this, her closing number
Madame Nordica was repeatedly recalled
On her re-appearance she wore magnifl-
cent ermine wrap.
E. Romayne Simmons. Madame Nor
dica's accompanist. was with her when
she appeared in Wichita two years ago,
and il was a disappointment to the audi
ence last night that he felt unable to
give the piano solo that was promised
when the program was published in the
newspapers.
Madame Nordica leaves Wichita this
evening for Lindsborg, where her next
concert will be given. She will long be
remembered by Wichita audiences for her
gracious manner and magnificent pres
ence as we'll as her wonderful voice.
