An advance announcement says:
To the many readers and students
of the legendary stories of the "Holy
Grail" especially aa understood In
Wagner'a beautiful specUrle of "Par-
slfai" Ita Christian aymboltura and
teachings will be readily recognised
and appreciated. One cannot fail to
see In thla beautiful work that It waa
he Intention of the mind that con-
ceived It to construct work ao natu-
ral and lifelike In action ao human
moral and Inatnictlve In Ita entire fab-
ric that It would for agea endure aa
a constant reminder of Ita grand and
noble Chrtatlan leaaon. It waa Wag-
ner'a Uat work. It waa hie greateat
It will aenre forever aa a glorloua mon-
ument to hla Immortal genlua. If there
were no other work of Wagner'a ei-
tant "Parsifal" would atteat aa to hla
wonderful powera aa a philosopher
poet and Intellectual giant What
then muat have been the genlua of
the man who haa left to posterity
more than three hundred works In
poetry music and prose and covering
the entire field of philosophy art and
sclenco? And yet such Is but a alight
part of the hlatnry of the "wouder of
the ages." Richard Wagner. Iiut It
la only of hla last and greatest work
we wish to apeak "Parsifal." that
wondrous creation of Wagner' a that
has stirred the hearts and minds of
men the world over. Ills story from
beginning to end. Is a powerful expo-
sition of the secret of redeeming love.
Can one possibly imagine ' a more
worthy theme upon which to build a
play? Yet the builder haa construct
ed so well. Illustrated the subject In
so graphic and Interesting a manner.
that it Is at onre the very Ideal drama
from an ethical standpoint and a moat j
thrilling and entertainL spectacle aa
appealing to the more material aenses.
One can aeo lu ita presentation the
godlike teachings of its author. One
can also see In It a magnificent and
Impressive spectacle the equal of
which has heretofore never been wit-
nessed fur Its entrancing story and
regal environments. Such a produc-
tion must necessarily demand mora
than the ordinary In equipment cut
and treatment. In order to do Jus
tice to so worthy a theme. These re-
quirements we are aaaured will be
completely fulfilled during the en-
gagement at the 0era louse Friday
Jan. 10. '
Owing to the unusual length of the
performance the curtain will rise for
the first act promptly at 7:15 p. m.
There are four acta each one of which
requires about 40 minutes for lu en
actment The interm'slaona are com-1
paraUvely short and the final curtain
falls at 11 o'clock. It la one of the
rules of the performance and the
management gives the assurance that
the rule will be strictly enforced that
every one must be seated before the
theatre la darkened which means be-1
fore the music begins. Late comers
will not be shown their seats until th
conclusion of the act Warning of
the approach of commencement time
will be given by trumpeters in the
lobby entrance. .
