ed by the splendid singing and acting of Mrs. George Browne of Richmond.

Actress Spoiled a Scene,

Soothed the Angry Star. There is a pretty story of Modjcska and a new leading woman who was to play the part of Elizabeth in Schiller's dreary play, "Mary Stuart." The new leading woman, who was to assume the part of the red haired sovereign, was a beautiful young person whose acting experience had been limited to a few seasons In modern society plays. On the night of the first performance, in the most important scene of the drama, where the captive Mary confronts Elizabeth In Fotherlngay park, all was not well. The new leading woman, wearing a wig for the first time In her career and looking uncomfortable in the high Elizabethan ruff, was ill at ease In the beginning, and, losing one of the chief words and thereby the meter from her opening lines, she began to Sounder and soon "dried up" completely. This left Schiller's unhappy Mary standing In the center of the stage waiting to be adequately Insulted. But Elizabeth's mind was a blank, madam could see that, and, jumping to her last speech, the curtain was brought down. Everybody on the stage was distressed. But instantly the beautiful young woman, disguised as the irate Elizabeth, rushed to the siar's side and said: "Dear madam, I am so sorry, but you know you do look so lovable In this part It was impossible for me to say those terrible things to you!" For a second there was a mixed expression on Modjeska's face, and then she forgivingly patted the speaker's cheek and walked away. Metropolitan Magazine.

ABOUT NORDICA All Berlin is looking forward to Madame Xordica's appearance as Isolde at the Royal Opera house next Monday with keen anticipation. The has long since geen sold out. The Berlin Woche of this week publishes a full page , portrait of the celebrated diva in the role of Isolde. The performance will be conducted by Leo Blech. . At first it was reported that Dr. Carl Muck would conduct for Nordica, but he has been called away to lead a music festival at Gorlitz. Blech however, is an admirable conductor and a great Wagner enthusiast, and his leadership guarantees a produc tion of the first rank. Madame Nordica, of course, sings the part of Isolde in German, having studied it in that language under , the personl direction of Cosima Wagner before she sang ahe role as Bayreuth.
