The immortal Richard Wagner was a

The immortal Richard Wagner was a
great student and reader. 1t was only
by constant research and study that he
was enabled to provide himself with the
material with which he builded his mag.
ni6cent productions, dramatic and oper
attic. 1t is said it was while searching for
material for his i%mperishable T%annhau-
ser that he came across Wolfram Won
Eschbach's poems of "Parsifal" and
"Titurel." Upon making this discovery
he rapturously reported, IAN entirely
new world of dramatic and poetic
matter suddenly opened before me-"
Wagner was the first one to name his
forthcoming production "a religious
DRAMA" To use his own words again,
"As l have made CHRISTIAN and Ysolde"
a Song of Terrestrial Love, so will l
make "Parsifal" a Drama of Divine
Love-" How we'll the Master succeeded
in this direction the world now knows.
No one can witness it, after having seen
others Of his many productions without
recognizing the imprint OF his philoso-
phical studies as we'll as that spirit of
Oriental mysticism in which he de-
lighted and which at one time he in
tended to make use OF for the stage.
During his long forced exile from his
native land, Wagner consoled himself
not only in being actively employed in
his writings, but also as a studious
reader Of the philosophy of Schopen.
hauer, of whom, to the last, he was a
great admirer. 1t was Wagner's pro-
found knowledge of human nature and
his utter lack of bigotry or prejudice,
that enabled him to reach the hearts
and souls of the countless readers and
auditors of his works throughout the
world. In the opportunity Of witness
sing his peerless dramatic spectacle,
"Parsifal," which will be presented in
this city on Wednesday, Sept. 26, mi
can see and feel the wonderful magne.
