Observation-Disclosures
"Parsifal."

All admirers of the chaste in art,
as the many well-wishers for the bet
terment of the stage and the develop
ment of its possibilities for the bene-
1T of mankind, will be pleased to
learn that the forthcoming produc-
tion of Wagner's famous mystic
drama, 'Parsifal. is announced for
one performance at the Columbu
Theater on Thursday, January 14th.
No production that has ever been
presented to the American public
concentration and praise that has
been accorded tParsifaI' wherever
produced. Scholars and artists. press
and clergy, theater-goer and church
goer, all have joined in acclaiming
il the gentlest, sweetest and most
gratifying story ever enacted upon
the stage. This spontaneous outburst
Of appreciation is not occasioned, as
one would be inclined to imagine, be-
cause the play emanated from the
brain OF one of the greatest geniuses
that ever lived, Richard Wagner
Other great men have written great
plays. The cause lies in the fact that
the beautiful story told is one that
appeals direct to the heart and soul
OF every man or woman that has a
spark of blood in their veins; that
every speech and action used in the
development of the simple story Is
80 intensely dramatic that one sits
absolutely enthralled with its power
and impressiveness. Everything and
all pertaining to the play is so diff
ferent from what we have been so
long accustomed to witnessing upon
the stage that one almost seems to
be In another world while under its
magnetic influence. You watch and |
wait, with bated breath, each sue
ceeding action and word of the char |
aeters appearing in the play. You do |
not wish to lose one word or act of |
the whole spectacle, for each one
seems to be weighed with so much /
and relation to the one
preceding it that you fear lest you /
might lose the thread of the thrilling /
and soul-stirring theme and story. 1t /
is this intense interest, this absorb
ing attention, that the play exacts,
that holds you spellbound from be-
ginning to end of each act of this
remarkable production.
