Alfred Hertz, who is to conduct Par sfal y

here vest eIday on the Friedrich der Crosse.
A cable despatch was sent 70 him by Mr..
Conried to come a month earlier than he
had expected, "a it will be possible to begin
the orchestral rehearsals within short
time.
There is no sentiment in Germany against
the production Of 'Fulsfal, said Herr
hertz, except on the part OF these persons
allied in one way OF another with Bay
reuth. They, of course. are Interested III
the opposition and have done all in their
power TO excite feeling against the plan.
Other musicians do not dIsapproye Of
Mr. Conried's purpose, because hey all
know that the same thing is TO happen in
every opera house in Germany in 1913, when
the copyright expires. Every impresario
intends to lake advantage OF his right to
produce the opera then, and the Germans
know that none of them will do it so well
as Mr.. Conried. None will spend so much
money on the attempt or will engage singers
of the same rank.
Herr Hertz brought with him score Of
"Parsifal,' bought in London, which he has
been studying all summer ut Frankfort.
He said that his force of musicians would
be increased by twenty pieces In regard
TO the rumor that the Anne rican Federation
OF Labor would cause n Strike among the
union men in the orchestra. Mr.. Hertz
said:
If the union mus cans. who form only
a small proportion of the orchestra, decide
to strike their places will be filed by other
and competent men. II the union men
don't like the non-urion men they may
leave the orchestra
