Immediately Hfollowing the concert there
will hs an exhibition Of 100 stereopticon
views representing scenes and characters IN
the music dnarnhs.. During the last ten years
Mr.. Moore has catvassed the art collections
and photographers studios of Europe and
America for pictures OF anything pertaining
to the Wagner FORKS and as a result pos
sesses a collection of views which represent
all the scenes in the music dramas, many .
OF them as they were presented at Bayreuth,
portraits of nearly all the great artists in
the costumes Of their principal roles and
reproductions of numerous OSCILLATIONS upon
canvas of the great scenes from all the
operas from "Rienzi" to "Parsifal." There
are also portraits Of King Ludwig II, List
and other friends of the composer. There
are five portraits of Wagner himself, reveal
ing him as he appeared from early manhood
to the time OF his death. Besides these
there are a number of caricatures which ap-
peared in the German, French and English
journals at a time when the music of the
future and its composer were objects of
ridicule. Even those who have seen the
music dramas produced upon the stage will
find these pictures of great interest and to
those who have never had the privilege OF
seeing them they will be a revelation.
