Big Audience at the National Yester-
day Afternoon.

The concert by Nine. Lillian Nofdica at
the National Theater yesterday afternoon,
the sixth in the series of the Washington
College of Music, attracted an audience that
filled the house and occupied most OF the
standing room. 1t was representative au-
dience, showing the musical culture Of tho
city and the social and official sets, all
eager to hear the woman who Is acknowl-
edged queen Of American singers and who
has stood at the front rank and held her
own against all foreign importations She
was assisted by Charles Anthony, pianist,
and E. Romayne Simmons accompanlst.
Mr.. Anthony opened the program with
Mendelssohns prelude in B minor and the
allegro from Schyttes' sonata in B fat. Then
Nine Nordica came gorgeously gowned.
Mr.. Simmons played the prelude to Liza
Lehman's ''Titania's Cradle but the prima
donna did not commence and he played
through the first phrase thinking she would
come in, but she didn't, and he arose and
escorted her from the stage. Then there
was buzz of wonder through the vast
crowd, but her retirement was only tenn
porary-something had lodged in her throat
and she soon reappeared and gave her
first three numbers, the other two being
Cutters Now Sleeps the Petal and Ham
monds I'm the Month of May" The ap-
plauSe which followed brought her back
again and again, and she responded to the
encore with Neven's Mighty LAX Rose"
:. Her second group was Of French songs
"A IO1, by Bemberg; La hose, by WEEP
Der, and "Ariette," by Vidal-all Of which
she sang with dainty expression and deli
cate Interpretation and with a perfect ac-
cent. Her encore to this group was the
German song Meme Liebe ist Gruen."
The last group included Grieg's I'm
Kuhn" Strauss 'Caecilia" Handels An
gels Ever Bright and Fair" and Peter Cor
nelius' Song of Solomon and in these
she was at her best and showed herself
the matchless singer of her time. Her con-
Guiding number was an aria from Erkers
opera of "Laslos.'' which was unfamiliar,
but which enabled her to display the won
derful fexibility Of her voice in trills and
runs which were given with splendid effect.
This was followed by enthusiastic applause,
prolonged until she returned and gave part
of the Brunnhilde music from die Wal
kure,' a part for which she is famous.
Mr.. Anthony's piano work besides his
first number consisted of two groups
LISTS etude in d fiat, Schumanns "Ro-
NANCE" Chopin's Ballade in A fiat, Liszt
'Gnomenreign' and concert paraphrase
on "Flederman's WaltZes,' by Strauss
Schute-and was interesting in showing pos
sibilities rather than actual achievements.
Mr.. Simmons accompaniment were ar
tistic and brilliant as well as sympathetis,
attracting notice to himself as well as the
singer.

any time you may see fit to visit us. You
know what a struggle I'll Masonic Temple
Association passed through in raising suff1-
Gent funds which would warrant them in
commencing the building of our new temple.
We are now arriving at the point where the
old buildings, covering the site of the new
temple to be erected, will be removed and
thereon will be erected a beautiful and
commodious building dedicated to Masonry
which will be a monument to the intelligence
of every Mason of the District of Columbia,
an additional ornament to the city, and one
to which every citizen and Mason Of the
United States can point with pride.
I'VE realize ourselves deeply indebted
to you and to every Mason in this juris-
diction for the generous support and assist
ance that you have rendered in the past,
and will now take this opportunity to thank
you in advance for the support and assist
ance we know you will render US in the
forthcoming Masonic fair which we hope
will be the GROWING enort and glory of
our work in raising the needed sum Of
money for this noble work. We earnestly
desire you to call at headquarters. which
will be open at all seasonable hours, except
Sundays, and give US any suggestions as
sistance or advice that you may have that
will aid us in this undertaking.
The site on which the temple will be
built cost $115.0OO. which is fully paid; the
Temple Association has about $4,000 in
sight and in Its treasury, and we hope to
raise 100000 out of the coming fair. It is
most worthy undertaking and all Masons
should rally to the ell and assist in the
work, which means so much for our cause"
