DRAGON MOVES BY TELEPHONE.
The Opera House Tries the Experiment OF
Using Fefner without Rehearsal.

Last night dragon in Sic fried" was the
most up to date animal that ever appeared
in the Wagner menagerie. Inside the can
vas and papier mache beast are two boys,
who are supposedto guide his movements in
accordance whit the music. They are rarely
equal to doing that correctly, even after
rehearsal Tho performance last night Ia
said to have been given without single
stage rehearsal. az no time could be found
for the preparation Of the opera. 1t was
therefore more than ever necessary to have
the occupants Of Der Wurm's inside kept
up to their business.
Emil Greder. the stage manager, decided
TO install a telephone in the beast 1t con-
nected with the opera house switchboard.
On one end was Herr Greder and at the
other were two receivers strapped TO the
heads of the two boys who received mo-
mentarily directions as TO what they should
do The dragon under the circumstances
covered himself with credit.
