HBRf SUNDELIUS IN IA BOHEME' WTa. SCOTT GRAND OPERA

There Is no sweeter singer with the famous Metropolitan Opera Company today than Miss Mary sundelius. who will be heard with the scotti Grand Opera Company in La Bohemep at the Jefferson theater Monday, mati- nee and night.
 We are indebted to Scandinavia for many famous composers, among them Gade and Grieg, and for some really exquisite singers. notably Jenny Lind and Christine Nilsson.
 Mary Sandelius is among the best of them all. and sings with an ex- quisite purity and an effortless ease which make her a favorite wherever she is heard. She has been so long in America that she is today almost regarded as an American artist, while fer the last half dozen years she has been entruSted with some of the most important roles in the range of opera at New York's famous opera house.
 Her Musetta in La Boheme" is one of her best known impersonations, and no one can sing the lovely waltz song with greater effect while her Nedda in "Pagliacci' has proved her capable of tragic intensity when called upon t3 display the stronger emotions. Miss Sundelius is in fact. finished and versatile artist, and 1t speaks well for NIT. Scotti's enterprise that he should have two prima donnae in his company Of the musical stature and generally superb attainments of Miss Sundelius and Miss Easton.
