In presenting Richard Wagner's "1'ar
Ifal" at the Orpheum last nitfht fur
nished Portland unlimited food for re
flection and topic for discussion with
out end.
It is safe to say the vast majority
went homo amazed ftt the wonderful
conception of the master work and yet
puzzled with the meaning of It all.
Many will contend they saw the
'Tight" plainly yet comparison will de
velop deductions differing as widely as
night and day for the.ftory will fit
any philosophy. However, the one les
son it se-ms Wanner tenches is that
penalty for yielding to passions can
not be avoided and that the seeker of
the trUh mi nt nnt be under the In- j
fluence of vil and directed thereby. ,:
Seaks in Vain for Healinj.
Amfortas has received a wound In
the fall and vainly seeks healing at
the hands of those supposed to possess
the knowledge. How he was wounded
Is for us to imagine, and we may spec
ulate further on why attempts of the
"wise" to heal were futile.
Kundry, the strange woman, at times
witch and at times a betng of volup
tous charms, fails to givm rollef, and
It is for the Innocent "fool" to stum
ble upon the mystic cup and become
the redeemer, and for the woman to re
pent.
Many of the Portland clergy attend
ed the performance and one found the
story so interesting that he declared
he would, adopt it for a text in the
near future And yet "Wagner leaves
tho opportunity for the man who does
not believe in the divinity of Christ to
Interpret it with perfect satisfaction
to himself.
production Is Stupendous.
Upon the whole, the production was
the- most stupendous by far ever at
tempted here and for four and a half
hours It held the attention of the audU
nce keyed to a high pilch of interest;
Conductor Campanini painted with
his wonderful orchestra glorious tone
pictures, no-.v delicate and tender and
then bold, majestic and powerful, till
the very house seemed to tremble with
the tone waves from the snarling
brasses nr.d the shrieking strings.
Through tho entire, score runs the oft
recurring theme made familiar through
the "Procession of the Knights," and
the vocal solos are for the most part,
it seems, built around it, oftentimes in
the form of recitatives without any
semblance of melody.
Scenic Effects Gorgeous.
T scenic eriecis were gorgeous
from beginning to the drop of the cur
tain, tho vision being led from dreamy
pastorals to the interior of temples
without the drop of the curtain, except
in the first act, when some recalcitrant
ropes refused to perform their ' part
smoothly.
Most impressive, perhaps, was the
final scene, the Interior of the temple
of-the Holy Grail, where Parsifal ad
vances, touches the gaping wound of
Amfortas with the blessed spear and
at, the healing touch the face of Ani-
lortas lights witn rapture.
Parsifal commands the Grail bear
' ers to unveil tho shrine, all kneel in
adoration as tho mystic cup glows red
Tlturcl ises in his Mer as Parsifal
takes the' Grail and waves it gently to
and fro, while from the. dome a white
dove deseends, hovering above Parsi
fal's head, who is then king, in token
of divine favor.
Puzzling was the garden serine,
where the garlanded maidens dunce
before Parsifal and where Kundry
vainly tempts htm.
StevenB In Tina Voice.
' Tho role of Kundry calls for a voice
of exceptionally wide range and Minnie
Kaltzman-Stevens, the Wagnerian so
prano, who has sung the role in Bay
reuth, was eiul to every occasion.
Most of her vocal work was in the sec
ond act, while the third is principally
pantomime.
Clarence Whitehill as Amfortas.
Henry Bcott as Titurel, Allen Hinckley
as Gurnemanz and Hector Pufranne as
Klingsor, were fully up to every ; re
quirement, both as to voice and acting.

White in the title role and Julia Claus

Tosca Becomes Suspicious.

While conferring, Floria Tosca. .the
painter's mistress, calls from without
and Angelotti is hastily concealed but
not before Mario has managed to get
into me nanus or the famished man

the most jealous of women and she is
filled with unhappiness until Mario
succeeds in convincing ' her that the
portrait of the beautiful woman with
wnicn he is occupied does not compare
witn ner charms.-
As soon as Tosca has gone Mario lets
Angellotl out of the chapel and he Is
about to venture forth when a cannon

"Parisfal," the great Wagnerian
opera which was played last evening
at the Orphcu-m theatre by the Chi
cago Grand Opera company, was the
Mecca for smart society. In fact so
ciety was there en masse and In even
greater numbers than the previous
evening. However, with true drama
tic instinct, the program of our short
opera season was cleverly arrangea
with a gTand finale for the last day.
This afternoon there will be Carolina
White in "Aida" and this evening
Mary Garden in "Tosca." Probably
these are the most tuneful and most
attractive vehicles -in which any of
the artists have appeared.
In broad daylight maids and ma
trons, bachelors ' and benedicts made
their appearance yesterday in full
dress, for Parisfal began sharp at 7
o'clock. FTom 6:30 until that , hour a
stream of people made their way to
the theatre until from gallery to the
orchestra they filled the big auditor
ium.
Tho scenes of the opera are for the
most part laid in a primeval forest
rich in yerdure, colorful, beautiful be
yond description. The story, with its
intense- religious strain, progresses
with a solemnity at once awesome and
at times weird. A succession of beau
tiful tableaux, an expression of tha
deeper meaning portrayed in the mu
sic. During the 25 minute intermissions
after the first and second acts, socie
ty promenaded about the foyer of tho
theatre and as the evening was so
miM and delightful they also gathered
on the sidewalk without.
The many lovely gowns and even
ing wraps were seen to advantage at
these times. A few of the handsome
toilettes noticed were:
Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett Old rose
pink" crepe de chine, embroidered in
deeper tones of the same color and
