US TO the fact that Amfort1s had father
and Pdrsifdl n son and that in the micro
cosm of the Holy all the eternal feminine
was sometimes permitted 10 exercise it's
, highest and hottest function.
But in 70 far as Kundry is concerned
| all this ia concealed In the first act abe
is a wretch struggling against fate. For
| her il is fate TO be forced 10 tempt. In the
second act we see her struggle reach it's
| climax

Only escape,
How. how thee to win mel
And few lines further on:

In the rurd act she is dumb servitor,
penitent and humble She is no longer
positive element in the drama She is
become woman. the subject. in the presence
Of man, the master, In the garden scene
alone does hHHdry become n true pro-
tagonist Then only does she rise to po-
tency in the working out Of this theatric
firtasy
Here, then. must the mpcrsonator OF the
role strike her profoundeet note. There
i, NO room for variation in the first act
In the third the differences Of personality
ere likely to make themselves felt more
than those OF art, for the typical lyric artist
is rarely 20 skilled an actress as TO create
large Illusions with stage business alone.
There Is much unfounded and ignorant
comment ou tho acting OF operate per-
FORMERS Fr" OF them nave even bowling
acquaintance with the technics of his
rionic art Many of them suffer from
Plethora Of hands and feet. with which they
know not what 10 do. and have faces which
are a. craven images
But this is aside from the real issue here
to be made Tho scene of Parafdfs temp
taton is Kundrg's opportunity. Here must
-he body forth the great primal conception
Of seX in flesh. II Is a scene as elementary
as that in Massenet's Eve III which the
fui bidder fruit OF Holy Writ is represented
a. carnai love, and the mother Of mankind,
having become wise, plays Kundry to the
partner OF her Life The buHdry Of this
scene must be created out of the artists
own BRAIN, for Wagner has welnigh buried
hi, own conception under the absurdities
and incongriiiica Of his text. Through the
mass - ibiage and illogical preachments
one figure must stand forth, the she-rose of
hell, the scar let woman.
10. this is she mat was the worlds delight
The old gr4 yrars were parcels NJ her might
TIA" siF'"lhrs of inc ways wherein she 'rod
"'f' u' '"a" seasons '' INC ga. "oo ns""
ln. she was itns wecn her clear limbs eniieed
Al n0s ma, now grow sad with kissing CHRIST.
Stained With blood fallen from the feet OF God.
