which shows on the cover a picture of
Mrs. Hazel Eden Nudge, of Chicago,
formerly of Topeka, of whom the pa

and concert singer fast coming to the
front as an artist from which big things
may be expected" Mrs. Nudge is
granddaught of Mrs. E. v. Eden and
niece of Mrs. c. c. Huston, and she
was a high school student in Topeka
a number of years ago. She studied
music in the east and in London. The
article in the Monitor says:
With so much uncertainty as to the
appearance among us this season of
a number of the foreign artists We have
been accustomed to greet from the
stages of our opera houses and concert
halls, it is well to take inventory of
our own resources in a musical way.
lest some operate and concert ventures
be withdrawn entirely for the season.
Among the American singers who
have made marked strides in recent
seasons is Hazel Eden Nudge. Among
her successful appearances were con-
certs in New Orleans. ST. Louis and
some fifty odd appearances in concert,
oratoriO and recital.
Some years ago the Ojibway Indians,
a Canadian tribe, whose legend of Hia-
watha was the ground of Longfellow's
poem of that name, gave Pantomime
performance Of the Longfellow concep-
ton of the story which was attended
by the daughter of the poet. Later a
dramatic version was arranged, and
about a year ago Mrs. Nudge appeared
on a program in Petersburg, Illinois,
in this play. She borrowed the Mime
haha costume from an Indian chief OF
the tribe Of Ojibways and sang the
Cadman Indian songs before the tepee
arranged on the stage. The audience
was enthusiastic over the performance,
and the Indian chief. who was present
at the play, had her adopted into his
tribe. A snapshot picture taken of
her in costume, is used on the cover
of the magazine in which the article
appears.
