"PARSIFAL" PRESENTED
IN ABRIDGED FORM
Walter Damrosch Gives a Delightful
Lecture Illustrative of the Music Of
Wagner's Last Work.

"Parsifal." in concert form by the
New York Symphony Orchestra, with
a number OF selected singers and under
the leadership Of Walter DamrOsch.
was the announcement which attracted
TO the New National Theater last night
an audience that filled nearly all the
seating space Of the auditorium. It
was an audience thoroughly inclined TO
put itself IN sympathy with the devo-
tional and lyric spirit OF Wagner's
soul drama'-the swan song OF the
great master, as Mr.. Damrosch express
ed 70.
The presentation Of "Parsifal." even
in this abridged form, was in itself
an event Of the utmost Importance 10

the performance The most Instructive
part Of the entertainment, however, and
fully as enjoyable as any other Of its
features, were Mr.. DamrOSch's Eek
planatOry connecting remarks as the
program mOdeStly expressed IL. These
remarks arose 10 the dignity Of q schOl-
arly lecture, delivered by one, not only
q DainStaking student Of Wagner but
permeated in the fullest measure with
the religious sentiment underlying the
last work Of the Sage Of BayreUth. The
clear exposition Of the purposes OF the
composer, and Of the significance Of the
different motifs" forming the ground
work as il were, OF the structure, de-
livered with admirable succinctness and
fine elocutiOnary style. commanded the
closest attention, and evoked most en-
thusiastic demonstrations Of gratifica-
ton.

Wagner first intended 80 Mr. Dam
IOsch explained, TO write as the crown
ing work Of his life some composition
founded upon events narrated in the
New Testament but he discovered that
this would go beyond the limitation OF
the stage. He then took up the story
OF the Holy Grail, and Ga II found the
material suited TO his Ideas and aspird-
tons He approached his subject In
SD rit Of purest reverence, and his
achievement stands forth thing OF

rOsch illustrated the different phases
Of his lecture with brief touches on the

Determined to have his revenge, the
father procured an old wolf trap. and
having set the spring placed IL on the
stairs just before the hour when LcnO-

was awakened by his screams.
Lights appeared and presently RenauX
approached the victim bearing piece
Of paper and a pen, followed by his
wife, holding an inkstand and a candle.
The document was a promise TO marry
the young dressmaker on May 10 next,
and the parents called upon the man 10
