“FAIRY GODFATHER.”
N.Z. Soprano Gets Legacy After Year. United Prtss Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 28. The New Zealand soprano. Miss Nora Dargel, for whom solicitors have been searching for a year throughout Europe, in order to inform her that an elderly music-lover had left her a handsome legacy, has been found through an unknown admirer telephoning to the solicitors, after hearing her broadcast German songs. Miss Dargel refuses to give the name of her benefactor, who died in 1931. He had always been a ‘‘fairy godfather,” she said, but she did not know he had left her anything. The cablegram refers to Miss Nora Long, who took the stage name of Nora Dargel. She is a Wellington girl and was educated at St Mary’s Convent. She early showed promise of possessing a soprano voice of unusual quality and range. She left New Zealand before the war to complete her vocal studies in Europe, and made her first appearance in grand opera in 1918.
