SINGER » Noted Prima \ Dosing Sait Said to Be Jealous of Another of World-Wide Fame Who Will Be Made Co-respondent in Action Against Doeme, the Tenor. |! ae —— While Nordica Was Singing with Duss \ Concerts in This Country Her Hand- some Husband Is Said to Have Been Too Attentive to Her Rival in Paris. The musical world, already greatly shocked by the news that Mme. “Lillian Nordica has sued her husband, Zoltan Doeme, a famous Hungar- fan tenor for divorce, will be still more Surprised to learn that the princi | pal co-respondent named in th case iS 'said to be one of the most cete- brated singers who ever appeared in opera or concert in this city. Because of the prominence of this woman in the world of music and { ert, and her conspicuous position before the public at the present time, every effort is being made to keep her name out of the case. Mme. Nordica is indifferent to these labors for secrecy, but her friends, the friends of Herr Doeme, and more especially the friends of the singer | in question, are. moving heaven and earth to preves’ her name being | dragged into the case. j WERE FORMERLY FRIENDS. Mme. Nordica and the co-respondent were formerly great friends. Un- Maurice Grau they shared honors at the Metropolitan Opera-House for several seasons, and their attachment for one another was a matter of re- mark. It;was a year ago that Mme, Nordica first noticed the growing friend- ship between her husband and her friend, For awhile ehesihought nothing of it; then, when further evidence of an intimacy. bétwton thent ‘Keto her, she could no longer #tave Off the inevitable, and cvafronted hey hus- Yand with her suspicions. Herr Doeme denied the chetrg. decleriug tha: was a libel on a good woman; but when Mme. Nordica presented her proofs , her husband shrivelled up. and was next heard of singing in Paris, Mme. Nordica never had a chance to face her rival, for ‘warned, it is said, by Doeme, soon went to Paris herself. 1a Paris tae in-| timacy between Doeme and the woman was a matter of comment, yi ship. ‘Then they learned for tho first time of the situation. Mme. Nordica’s furious jealousy, which developed when she first dis- wovered the truth, gave way to an immovable resolution to be free at any cost, even the cost of her husband's and her former friénd’s reputations. NAME WILL Bip Ri: VEALED. It is not likeiy that the name of the co-respondent will come out at ‘once, but there fs little doubt that it will be revealed ultimately and that the co-respondent herself will make a bitter fight in the courts, There was a good deal of ‘interest in Herr Doeme in the’ fall ef 1894, | when the new? reached thit country from London that he was to marry) me. Nordica He had never been here himself and al! that was known of im was that he was a young tenor who, with Gruening, of Hanover, and Binkenkomen, of Hamburg. had been engaged as tenors for the tenth Wag- ner festival at. Bayreth, ile met Mme. Nordica in the house of the Duchess of Manchester and, although Doeme was younger than Mme, Nordica, it was a case of love at first sight. Mme. Nordica came here be- fore the marriage which took place at Indianapolis, Ind., May 26, 1896, APPEARED TO BE WAPPY. Doeme and his wife appeared to be a very happy couple. Mme, Nordica seemed proud of his good looks and his fine voice, and he seemed very proud of her. Their domestic life was said to be ideal and was the ad- “mirstion of the Metropolitan Opera~House get for several seasons, Several yemre ago he was the central figure In some incidents. His! oulash war with the management of the Hotel Majestic, where he lived | “\ywith his wife, was a very intcresting onc. ‘The Majestic goulash didn’t. uit the fastidious Doeme, so he sent outside for some. The management topped it at the door when it arrived. Doeme telephon’ - for more, and “fwhen it came went out in the street and got it from the messenger him- elf, carrying it in triumph to his room. Doeme was also considerable of a sport. He played the races pretty ponsistently while in this country, at one time winning a lot of money. Herr Doeme arrived here ten days ago from Paris, when he was served ‘with the papers in the divorce suit. He was followed within a few days by the woman whom Mme. Nordica*will claim, under the guise of friendship, qwrecked her home, Mme. Nordica left the city immediately after her husband's arrival, and }is now stopping with friends who have a connty place near by. It was on her return from her six weeks’ tour with the Duss Band that | her lawyer began the preparation of papers in the sult for divorce, Herr Doeme is Mme. Nordica’s second husband, her first having been ‘Frederick A. Gower, to whom she was married in 1882 in Paris, He was a fwealthy electrician. Three years after their marriage Mme. Nordica began a suit for separa- ton. Before a decision was reached in the suit Mr. Gower was reported bo have lost his life while attempting to.oross the English Channel 1 tn aj vallecon. His hody was never recovered, and it was a question for the ponrts to decide’ whether or not he was legally dead. Whe courts so de- cided finally, esi his estate, valued $500,000, was divided aniong the heirs. Mav, ‘Nordica settled her claims for $40,000, . Nordica has cancelled the few engagements she made for private ‘entertainments and will not appear in public during the winter. Herr Doeme, it is belleved, will not contest the suit, although it is said , he came to this country to effect, if possible, a reconciliation with his wife. lem ran after the hors caught !
