This is a unique opportunity to
hear one of the world's greatest art-i-ts
under very fortunate circum-
stances and it is hoped that the ef-
forts of St Taul’s Guild will receive
the support they deserve from the
limbic loving people of Norman and
of the State University
The present season finds Mme
GacKki at the pinnacle toward which
she has moved steadily and surelv
since the beginning of her public
career — the acknowledged queen of
lyric and dramatic song Re-engaged
for the Metropolitan Opera House to
sing the great Wagnerian roles with
which her name is instinctively asso-
ciated — and an increasing number of
Italian roles which each season furn-
bh fresh evidence of her art’s con-
stant growth — Mme Gadski is with-
out a rival in her particular operatic
sphere To no singer of all the Met-
ropolitan’s brilliant concourse does
the New York public pay more con-
sistent homage and never does the
opera house ring with more tumultu-
ous applause than it does on “Gadski
Nights” The prima donna’s beautiful
voice and ’radiant presence make such
occasions the notable events of each
season
An obvious consequence of Mme
Gadski’s ever increasing popularity in
opera is the limitation it places on
her availability for concert — a tield
in which she is held in even higher
esteem To thousands of concert
goers throughout the country Mme
Gadski has endeared herself and to
these the demands that opera makes
upon her time cause keen disappoinr-
nient Only a comparatively few cities
are able to secure the diva for con-
cert and recital and such as do may
well consider themselves especially
favored

years old began the study of music

professional debut was made in the
title j-ole of Lortzing's Opera ‘Un-

for three seasons during which
she sang leading parts appearing whh
such artists as Mine Semhrich and
Mme Lilli Lehmann In 1894 fal-

many and Holland she was heard In-
Mr Walter Damrosch who immedi-
ately made her an offer to anpear i
opera in the United States
From the moment of her meri-
can debut Mine Gadski's fame was
assured She made her first appear-
ance as Elsa in ‘‘Lohengrin” and her
triumph was little short of sensa-
tional For two seasons she remained
a member of the Damrosch Ellis
Company constantly increasing hei
repertoire Her assay of the great
Wagnerian parts was the step that
placed her promptly o nthe limited
role of the elect
In 1898 Mme Gadski became a
member of the Grau Opera Com-
