The Ocean Grove correspondent of
the Musical Courier, under date of
August Fl, writes as follows:
MADAME Nordica received one of
the ovations of her life at Ocean
Grove Tuesday night of last week.
when she sang with chorus of 700
voices before an immense audience Of
over 10000 people. The great Ocean
Grove auditorium was crowded to it's
capacity, over 1000 men and women
being on the stage alone. Prominent
people from all parts of the country
were present and many distinguished
foreign guests.
"Nordica's wonderful voice was
fresher and sweeter than ever, carry
ing her hearers fairly off their feet
with enthusiasm and winning round
after round of applause. In her open
ing number of Gounod's "Gallia" she
was supported by the New York Festi-
val chorus of 500 voices, uniting with
the local chorus. They received a
rousing welcome. Madame Nordica
also sang the aria Hear Ye, Israel,
from "Elijah," and a group of French
and German songs.
Each number aroused greater en-
thusiasm than the last and she was
overwhelmed with floral offerings.
When at the close of the concert she
finally broke away from the throng
of over 5000 people who waited at the
stage door the top of her automobile
