ROME. July 1S.-In the course of the

improved. and hopes for his recovery
had risen materially both in the Vatican
and among the populace. The bulletin
issued at o'clock was encouraging in
tone, but when at O'Clock the follow
Ing bulletin was issued, it came as
complete surprise:
His holiness has had little repose in
the course Of the day and is now not
nearly so well. His respiration contin-
ues at 81, but his pulsation is weak at
O., and his temperature is higher than
it has been for several days, at se.s

"PARS|FAL" GIVEN
IN METROPOLIS
BRILLIANT AUDIENCE GATHERS IN
NEW YORK TO WITNESS THE
GREAT PRODUCTION.
CAST IS FROM GERMANY
Performance Lasts Six or Seven Hours
and Complaint Is Made That It
Is Hard to Dress Well.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Dec. 25.--ln spite Of suc-
cessful litigation, a storm of public protest
and some enormous practical difficulties,
Richard Wagner's sacred musical drama,
"Parsfal," was produced at the Metro
poi,an opera house last night before an
immense audience. This was the first
public performance ont Of Beiruth.
To give the opera the Metropolitan
opera house stage was rebuilt new elec.
trio lighting apparatus was purchased and
the play houses of Europe were ransacked
to secure corps OF efficient artists for
every department.
Last nights performance amounted to
a triumph for Director Conreid.
Brilliant Audience.
The audience was brilliant, many per-
sons came from Boston, Philadelphia,
Washington, Baltimore, Chicago and other
cities. The performance was begun at
o'clock, the opening OF the drama and
that OF each of its acts being heraldcd
after Beiruth custom by trumpeters OH
the main stair cases.
The first act, ending at o'clock, was
followed by an intermission for dinner.
The performance was resumed at AS
and concluded at IL o'clock.
While some used the long intermission
to drive home, as rule dinner was
taken at restaurants.
Much annoyance was caused by the
fact that the play began toon soon for
evening dress and ended long after the
time for donning evening costumes.
The cast at all important points was
strong. three at least OF the principal
actors having learned their parts under
the tutorage OF Frau Wagner.
These were Herr Bergstaler, as Parsi-
fal: Frau Milka Ternina as kundry and
Herr Bass as Guernemanz: Anton Van
Rooy was Amfortas Marcel Jos, Titural
and Herr Otto Goritza, klingsor Herr
Bcrgstaller made an admirable Parsifa.
Herr Blass as Guernemanz was not alto
gethcr satisfactory.
Measured praise, too. must go TO Herr
Goritza, for his Klingsor was but a mild
hammered magician. Van Rooy's Amfor-
tas was the best thing he has ever done.
He pictured admirably the wounded King
OF Grail.
The attitude of the audience, all things
considered, was revential and attentive.
Applause was successfully Kissed down,
but the second time nothing could have
controlled it and the principal actors were
repeatedly brought before the curtain.
