the auspices of the Ladies' Matinee Musi-

with this lecture, has been so highly re-
ceived elsewhere that he will, no doubt,
meet here the appreciation his work de-
most powerful product of Wagner's genius.
In 1t he combines two of his earlier works
and the other a legend based on 1.-The Holy
Grail. So great is the mystic influence of
this drama, that until recently, the actors
participating in it received no compensation
for their services, but seemed rather to be
assisting at solemn rite. Mr.. Sternberg
feels fully the Wagnerian idea that in a
music drama the music must not be sep
arated from the action, and the lecture has
been worked out on that line so that it APP
peals as much to the literary as to the
musical mind. The Matinee Musicale be-
Heves in bringing Mr.. Sternberg for this
recital that it is assisting in the musical
education of every one who will go to hear
Beyreuth for eighteen years. according to
the will of Wagner, so that it will not be
given in this country for many years
