Dallas Wainwright, is some little distance from j the ideal woman for the part. t& I Packed audiences have greeted the attraction I at the Grand this week, which is a musical com edy, including a number of exceptionally clever vaudeville acts. The title of it is "The Pride of New Ydrk," and it is really a very classy pro duction It is replete with musical numbers, and the company contains the usual number of comed ians, dancers and busy chorus girls. One of the thrillers of the evening's entertainment is the ex hibition of Frank Hall, the English lion tamer, with the big beast, "Wallace, whose record is said to be three men during his strenuous career. To day's matinee and tonight's performance con clude the engagement. i NORDICA. The many thousands of admirers of Madame Nordica's consummate vocal -art-would be sur prised toJknow that the first remuneration which She received from music was not for singing; but for refraining from doing -so. The overflowing good nature of Mme. Nordica's early years was as marked as now, but instead of being charac terized as "charming, with magnetic personality," etc., etc., it was called "incorrigibility," and Nor dica was known as a "little devil," a good-natured little aforesaid, but, a very pronounced type. The story as told by Mme. Nordica herself runs as follows: When a young girl, growing up to womanhood in the forests of Maine, she had two elder sis ters who sang. The young Lillian was too small and unimportant to study music, but born with talent, she used to bother these sisters by learn ing the songs before they did. Finally, in despair, they paid her to leave their; songs) alone. The fee, was onlya quarter, but it lookecrbig enough in those days to secure her silence. That bribe was her first incentive to a musical career. She argued that if she were paid for not singing, there might come a time when she would be paid for singing, and so she began to nurse an ambition. A few years later found her an earnest student in the Boston Con servatory. And then Mme. Titiens came to Boston to sing in, opera. Nordica found out the name of her hotel and went to see her, and resolved to sing to her if she would hear her. She was at first refused. "Madame never receives anyone on that day that she sings and she sings to-night," said the madame's maid. Not to be repulsed, Nordica sent a second re quest, saying she wished to sing to her, and beg ging Madame Titiens' judgment cf her voice. She was so importunate that she was finally received, and hearing that Titiens was to sing in "II Trova tore" that night, promptly produced Leonora's aria, "Tacea le notte," and accompanying herself, sang the aria to a finish. Titiens was at first provoked by her audacity, but as tho young girl proceeded, she became more and more interested in her beautiful voice and' dramatic delivery, and at the. close of kthe aria took both her hands in hervown and thanked her for the pleasure she had given her. Then apolo gizing for her inability to talk before singing, in vited her to hear the same music at the opera that evening, and told her to be sure to come to her dressing room after the performance. Of course, Nordica went, and was presented by Titiens to Mme. Maretzek, with these words: "I said nothing to you this afternoon, but I have arranged to place you under this lady's care for two years' study." In less 0 a month Nordica and her mother found the' ives in New York, where Mme. Maretzek prepared thb singer of "Tacea le notte" for the operatic stage.
