that time ever paid in Boston, when
she was 16 years old.
Feeling the need of more extended
opportunity. Mrs. Norton took her
daughter to New York, where. after
further study. she made her appear
ance at Madison Square Garden with
its success. Subsequently she made a
tour OF America with this organiZa-
ton.
As a result she was enabled by her
own effort to proceed to Italy to study
repertoire and prepare for the operate
stage, the aim of which she, never lost
sight. Her debut was made at Brus-
cia, Italy, in the role of Violetta in
Verdrs La Traviata." After that, as
result of her success, there followed
engagements in Genoa and several
italian cities as Marguerite in Gou-
mods Faust" Alice in Meyerbeer's
Robert lie Diable" and other works.
Then came an engagement at the I'm
perial Italian opera at St. Petersburg
with the first stars of the operate fir
mament, an association for which her
Italian routine and training had fitted
her. The English beauty of the young
American attracted social attention,
and under the chaperonage of her
mother she caught a glimpse or the
gaieties of st, Petersburg.
Nine. Nordica's debut in London was
made in March. 1887. at Covent Garden
as VioIetta in-"La Traviata." In Bos-
ton she appeared as Marguerite in
Faust" under the management of
Colonel MapIeson. To use her own
words. the critics tore her limb from
limb. Nothing daunted, she returned
again to the scene this time with the
company assembled by Henry E. Abbey
for the Metropolitan season of 1887.
This constituted her real American
debut.
Subsequent to this yet greater gain
was to be chronieled in Nine. Nordica's
achievements as the result of her Bay
reuth appearance and her studies under
the direction of Nine. Cosima Wagner,
the widow of the composer. Lohengrtn

The life OF Lillian Nordica began at
the little town of Pennington, Me-

great role that she was to play in the

her career meant struggle, indomnita-

history of that career is not one Of
easy conquest and instant recognition
Of the kind that rosy imaginatiOns
ascribe to successful prima donnas,
but the vanquishing of circumstances
that would have overcome a less DOM

ton of rare and natural gifts by which
alone absolute greatness is obtained.
Both her father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs Norton, were noted for their vO-
cal accomplishments, for twenty years
singing in the choir, and the principal
figures in local odd folks concerts or
