SOCIETY FOLK
BOW TO WAGNER
For the First Time Mr.. Grau In
cIuded the German Opera in
the Regular Season Despite
Darkness.
SUBSCRIBERS BEHAVE WELL.

Society behaved very well by Wagner
last evening at the Opera-House. The
boxes wer. filled ana the occupants at
tentive. What more could be expected
OF them? Usually Mr.. Grau spares his
subscribers from the Ring performances.
The darkened auditorium, the lengthy
productions and incidentally the nervous
wear and tear of tho Wagner art for
mula are not appealing to society, which
likes to behold Itself and take its
pleasures without an overplus of mental
and physical effort.
This year Nj. Grau imported n new
Wagner'an conductor and stage manager.
ana trusting to their combined efforts
to make the Ring production credItable
he decided that society would have TO
take 1t as part of the regular season. AS
a matter Of fact the subscribers SHE'D
less than the general public.
Must Have a Love Theme,
Probably the lack OF a love theme ex-
plains the general apathy toward tho
beautiful imaginative work with which
Wagner introduces his NEUROLOGICAL
music cycle. 1t deserves wider appreci-
alton not only for the key 1t furnishes
to the action of Die Walkure' and
"Siegfried," but for it's intrinsic merit.
1: Is a titanic fairy tale. transporting
the auditor from the dank green bot
tom OF the Rhein to the abode of the
gods, then back to the bowels OF the
earth. The stage knows no moro beall-
tiful conception than the opening act of
"Rhetngold" with the Rhine maidens
undulating beneath the rivers surface
In the sheen of tho sunlight which
pierces the rlppllng water above them.
Last night the scene was given a new
and most effective setting. The three
nirtatious maidens floated about with
less a the usual mechanical pendu-
losity. and they san with a tunefulness
which bespoke much careful r~ehearsing.
Why Was II CutY
The dlfficult scene was accomplished
without a hitch. though tne cutting of
Alberich's music was inexplicable. All
through the performance there was
abundant evidence that Conductor Hertz
and Stage Manager Johannes Elmblad
had labored with success. The i'm
provement over last seasons slipshod
production was unqualified.
Herr Anthes's Loge was the new figure
in the production, 1t was a ~well-voiced,
~clean-cut impersonation. nervous rather
than airy in action. but 1t was satisfy

tradition. The other roles were In fa-

FOR NECK AND sHoULDERs.
Physical culture for the neck and
shoulders consists largely OF exercises.
Learn TO hold your head up. your chin

It would be good thing for every woman
who wants nice shoulders IL she could learn
a few things of the West Point Cadets.
1t would be much to her advantage II she
could have Il military training a. far a. q
nice carriage is concerned.
1t would be excellent for her could she
learn TO hold her shoulders out and keep
them fiat and wide: and most excellent
thing If she could learn how to take care of
her elbows and hands.
The West Point Cadet IL beautifully grace
full and. though he is generally tall and
often Of heavy build, he Is nevertheless able
TO take care Of his hands and feet in a way
which makes them ornamental rather than
awkward.
