club women have heard Mrs. Rhodes
praises sounded long and loud, for this |
lecture vas the principal artistic treat of
the Los Angeles biennial of the General
Federation Of Women's clubs last May

reports given Of the biennial both in the

1t is a high honor to be chosen one of
the entertainers for these great biennial
meetings, as 1T is the purpose of the pro
gram committees to select only few of
the choicest things that the country af-
fords. At Los Angeles the people. could
not begin to be accommodated. in the
great auditorium where the meetings were
held and it was necessary to repeat the
performance in order to give all the dele
gates and visitors an opportunity of en-
joying this riclf treat.
Mrs. Rhodes has spent all of the festival
seasons at Bayreuth for years and is
deeply imbued with the spirit of Wagner
and this gives distinct atmosphere to
the work very acceptable to Wagner stu
dents. Through her acquaintance with
Frau Wagner Mrs. Rhodes is able to give
many pictu1 es and other details otherwise
understandable The pictures illustrating
the operas are colored accurately from the
actual costumes and scenes. The lecture
includes a sketch of the composers mus
ical career and analytical descriptions Of
the Ring series and Of Parsifal. The lat
ter is specially important and interesting
AS no performance of the opera is posi-
BILE except at Bayreuth.
The musical accompaniment and illus
trations are played by Adolf Close. a cap
able Wagner concert pianist, who has
been the coach of Lehman, Alvary
Fischer and others.
