Madame Lillian Nordica Friday
night opened her American tour for
1911 in Keokuk with one of the great
est concerts ever given by any sing
er. Smiling, gracious, superb, she
sang her way into the hearts of Keo-
kuk people as she has into those Of
millions of others the world around.
For it is true that Nordica is still the
supreme singer, the greatest Of them
all. And last night she gave to Keo-
kuk the best within her-and Keokuk
appreciated it. The appreciation was
unreservedly enthusiastic. Time and
time again the diva swept to the cen
ter of the stage in response to wild
outbursts of applause, and generous
to the last, she sang glorious ex-
cerpt from one of her great Wayne
rian arias when her hearers refused
to go at the end of the program. But
not only was Nordica magnificent;
Myron M. Whitney, basso, and E. Ro-
nayne Simmons, the pianist, were
worthy of the star. The three artists,
working together, complementing and
supplementing each other, give pro.
gram that in dramatic force, and in
its continuous, powerful, intensely
personal appeal to every individual
must rank as one OF the greatest, II
not the greatest, concert ever offered
to the American public. Madame Nor
dica's present tour will go down in
history as one of the real musical tri
umphs of this generation That she
opened it in Keokuk is an honor to
the city, while the memory of heI
concert here will remain an undimin
fishing pleasure to those who heard
her sing.
An UnequaIled Occasion.
Only once before has one of the
great prima donnas sung in Keokuk
and at that time Patti was on the
threshold rather than at the zenith
Of her career. And yet the audience
in its size, its personnel and in its
enthusiasm shows that many of the
people of this city recognize and ap
preciate the best when they do have
an opportunity of hearing it. Also
they appreciate the fact that in the
present case the opportunity was due
solely to the disinterested public
spirit of one man, Mr.. Jesse e. Baker
And 1t may be we'll to state here jus
what the proposition was with Mr.
Baker. 1t is fact that few men out
side the business know more abou
operas and about opera and concer
singers, past and present, than he
And knowing the tremendous return
In pleasure and culture to be obtained
from the singing of great artist
he determined to take the responsible
ity of giving his own city a chanc,

best in the world and figured hi
house to barely pay out if every sea

and the adjacent cities didn't rise t,
the occasion, he lost good money!

done something really worth Will
was his return for the risk, the worn
and the work. 1t was a clean, sports
manlike proposition, and all Keoku
was glad to see that night that tn
venture was not to cost the impress
sario young fortune. 1t is true tina
the concert did not quite pay for i
self but it came mighty near to de
ing It, and the director says he

to Madame Nordica, Myron w. Whit
ney showed his class by holding his
part of the program on plane no low
er than that of the prima donna's Of
ferings. The son of one Of the great
est oratorio BASES that ever lived, Mr..
Whitney is better singer than his
father was, although the latter pos
sessed a voice that the son can never
match. Mr.. Whitney's technique prac-
tically is perfect, and his interpreted
ton direct, sincere, dignified. unaf-
fected and wonderfully effective. He
had the audience with him from start
to finish, and with "The Night Has a
Thousand Eyes," and Molloys always
beautiful Kerry Dance" affected his
hearers to such degree that he was
forced to repeat both numbers. In
the Serenade from la Damnation de
Faust and in the duet with Nordica
his singing, perhaps, was at its best.

A Few Comments.

That the Nordica concert will be a
landmark in Keokuk history everyone
realizes now. 1t is to be hoped that 1T
may be the starting point towards
more music of that class in the COM
munity Probably noticeable percent
of those who turned out last night
were there because the occasion was
an unusual event, because everybody
was going" because 1t was a society
event. A few concerts of this general
class and many of these would be
going to hear the music regardless OF
| the other factors, while others who
did not hear Nordica would gradually
get into line.
| A noticeable thing about the crowd
was the relatively small proportion of
men. The black coats were few and
far between. In fact, one might al
ifnost say OF the concert that the men
of the town furnished the money and
their wives and daughters furnished
the appreciation. And this is not un-
usual in the average city of this size.
The man on the street, as rule.
doesn't see just where he is going to
get four dollars, or three, or two dol
liars worth out of any concert. But
that this same man does get value re-
ceived when his wife drags him out
/ or he goes once through curiosity is
/ shown by the fact that in the cities,
and in smaller communities where mas
culine interest has been aroused, the
men form a good half of the audiences
at such performances. 1t is not i'm
probable that in time Keokuk men
may become as up-to-date in this par
ticular as they are in the conduct OF
their business and in most other
things.
Another interesting thing about
the house was the makeup and en-
thusiasm of the balcony and the gal
lery. particularly the gallery. Long
before the doors were opened the line
reached clear out into the street.
And it was largely crowd of women
and girls, with a few men who were
in the painful position of being show
ed in the crowd without having the
gallery gods inestimable privilege OF
showing back But say, that gallery did
enjoy the concert. Somebody has said
that the appreciation of the audience
increases in intensity in proportion
to the increase of the distance from
the footlights This may or may not
be SO, but Friday night the evidences Of
: appreciation increased in about the
proportion of the square of the dis
Itance from the stage. 1t was evident
!, that the greater part of the inspira
ton furnished by the audience came
from above the pit

An Obliging Condnctor-

Conductor w. H. Bretz, of the
Oregon Electric railway, had as a pas
senger on his o'clock trip into Sa-
lem last night a 4-year-old girl with
out an escort. The child had start
ed from Scholls, and was transferred
to Bretz's car at the Tigard juno
tlon, The youngster carried a large
grip and appeared unalarmed as she
climbed aboard the big interurban
car. After considerable inquiry, with
the aid of a telephone, Conductor
Bretz learned that the little ones
name was Wanda Brooks, and that
Mrs. Mary Gray, of this city, is a rel
ative of the child. Miss Gray was
notified, and she came to the depot
for the youngster The relative had
not been notified of the little girls
coming, but the obliging conductor
took it upon himself to see that she
was not left stranded at the local
depot
