L....- 1 messers margin tna emery nav wjim and gone with their production of Parsi fal and La Grande has seen a really and truely great drama. At the appointed hour the curtain rose for the first act and the crowded house settled down for three hours of entertainment. After the usual introductory lines Parsifal appeared. This character in the hands of Mr. Connor was above par. Parsifal as pictured in the script ss an ignorant, kind hearted shepperd, who had lived in the mountains ith no other human companion than his loving mother. Those who have read this prelude in the translations to the English no doub: marveled at the skill o the writer and translator, but even tna was weak compared with the first glimpse that the audience got of Parsifal last, evening. Perfect of physique, cariying his shepherd's staff, his every facial li .- ament told of blissful ignorance. His voice too, was excellent and during the entire performance there was not a syllable that escaped the most remote listeners. The troupe carries three or perhaps four artists: The three are Par sifal, Kundry and Klir.schor, but the fourth who is nearly on a class with the three is Titurel the Ca pad ocean king and the original protector of the holy spear and grail. Kundry as the tool of Klins chor. certainly was a .pleasing personage. Her beauty and she was beautiful, made it a short task to pull the newly annointed king and holy grail protector from his knighthood to the plane of a common warrior and king. Especially in the se cond scene of the third act, did she excell. And Klinschor. Here is a part that takes ability, real ability to carry. When every effort of he and his toot has failed to tempt Parsifal, and the comrade of tatan had called upon all his uncanny spirits to to assist him in his one great ambition, the the audience suddenly saw some great acting. ' Not the light kind that causes the gallery to h- ot in derision, but some heavy work that fanned (he already weird feelings of the spectators to a ten sion that can only be duplicated by the chaldron scene in Macbeth. The elec trical effects were mysterious but lent the desired effect. The drama is too long to properly por tray three hours. Then too the scenery was abbreviated because of unsufficient room. Because of this abbreviation both' in scenery and actual running lines the audience was of necessity forced either to guessed at the minus chain of the plot or resort to recollections of former reading. Because of this shortage the connection of the holy grail to the holy spear was a mystery to many. In the original, the holy grail for which knights have searched since the time of creation of Knights was in the possesion of this little band mythycally located in the Northern Spain The or.ly defense other than their right good swords that these knignts had to de fend the coveted cup, with was the holy spear. With the spear in their possession the defenders were' invulnerable. Klins chor. a reoresentative and comrade of the devel ;hru the medium of Kundry secures the holy spear and flees. Pars.- fal a "guiless fool" and shepherd comes to the scene willing to carry the sword of the good knights and assist in the search for the stolen spear, for without it, the grail was in constant danger. After ten years of wondering he overpowers the temptations of Kundry overpowers the will and physical power of Klinschor, re turns to the grail and ultimately fulfils the prophecy that the littie band would be ruled by the guiless fool. However there was a feature of the play that was more humorous than any thing else. The word Parsifal naturally recalls to one, a thot of Wagner s wonder ful overtures. However withall just dues to the ability of the orchestra present to disperse better music. Tne tension of the crowd .was lot down suddenly, after the close of the third act. by a renditio: of "Goodbye Dolly I Must Leave You" and a medley of other ragtime songs.
