ing last week that it could not run
longer.
The failure of "Parsifal" to last more
than ten days is the great surprise,
however; it merely proves that you
can't dope out a stage success before
hand 1t was at the Auditorium, a
semi-religious house at best, one which
swallowed 1.-The Holy City, for four
long weeks, including extra matinees,
and even clamored for more And 'The
Holy City, was about as poor dra-
matics as could be conceived, and as
bad religion as anyone would expect
to see in daylight; the Salvation Army
puts up a better show on the street
corners every night, free. By compar-
ison with THE Holy City" Wagner's s
'Parsifal there can be no pos
sible comparison, save that each has
religious atmosphere.
So 1t is but natural that a shrewd
manager-and none is shrewder than
Dick Ferris-would guess that if peo-
pie struggled to see 1.-THE Holy City"
they would have spasms to get into
"Parsifal," especially when it was done
magnihcently, and further when it was
given during holy week and at Easter,
when it's every sentiment is in line
with the occasion.
Did they? Not that anyone could

not go to it. Whether they have been
surfeited by the other religious play
or were not able to comprehend the
mysticism and symbolism of the Wag-
ner music c-drama, one can only guess
the fact remains that it's production in
the typically lavish style that Ferris
does things scored a heavy loss to that
enterprising manager. 1t Is a pity, but
it is true, nevertheless.
So again, 1t may be said, ii is a
hopeless task to dope out what the
public wants by past performances.
Every offering must be a new feeling
of the pulse and the chances are more
than even that a wrong guess will be
made, Both these plays went off last
night; the Burbank returns to costume
drama and the Auditorium to the Sar-
dou; perhaps their regular clientele
win now turn out and help make up the
losses debited during the last fort-
night by each.

In looking over some old records the

Marion Berg is a singist. She has
even appeared in opera. Lest the fair
Marion deny this, am prepared to
furnish names and dates. 1t was in

New York city, the week of March IA,
1898, under the Savage management.

disappointed that "Parsifal' didn't run
out his season 1t made necessary the
putting ON of two more plays. OF
course Dick is a speuder and he never
whimpered but "ParsiLap cost him a
mint of money, and he did hope the
public would appreciate il. Dick is so
generous with his clientele that one
hates to know that the dear people do
not reciprocate

put out every light in the house after
burst of blue flame. OF course, with
the memory of the Chicago horror so
fresh, the audience was on the verge of
panic. Lawrence and the men had
just come on with a vigorous song. He
saw the situation; with quick For

TINE uncertainties of dramatics are
one of their most pronounced
features, and were never better
Illustrated than right in Los Angeles
at the present time. Two productions
closed last night which their hackers
had every reason to believe would be
alive some weeks from now, and at
least one of them by all the canons of
the arts, should have been. But their
runs are ended and they are laid aside,
regretfully, but finally.
Reference is had to the Dick Ferris
"Parsifal" and the Morosco Under the
Bear Flag" The latter has two weeks
to its credit and as it is a new play,
perhaps should be esteemed a success
on its record. But there was every
hope on the part of it's author, Dr. c..
W. Bachman, and its producer Mr.
Morosco, that it would outlast any play
ever put forth from local pen. That
would have meant six weeks Of con-
tinuous playing-one of the Morosco-
Cottrell plays now has five weeks
unbroken run to its credit. Certainly
this Bear Flag" drama is the best
ever turned out of a local playshop;
there is no gainsaying that. And some
pretty good ones have been incubated
here; witness "Juanita of San Juan, -
which the Incompatible David Belasco
last fall turned into Rose O. the
Rancho" by adding a little atmosphere
and his magic name, and which is run
ming yet in New York and win be
months hence
But the fates were against the Bach
man play; 1t struggled through its
second week, only to die. The public
gave 1t good support while II lasted,
but indications were very plain dur
