"Parsifal."

'Parsifal' is rightly and truly
called a mystery drama, because
it illustrates, by means of allegory
and symbol, the secret of redeeming
love. Yet, although correctly named
a mystery" play for the foregoing
reasons, it is in no sense of the word
the same as understood by this name
as applied to the early mystery"
plays of christian church. In those
plays, devoid of scenic embellish-
ishments, and in many instances
even of appropriate costuming, the
action was stilted and the players
seemed merely to chant with a mo-
logue was contained in the text
This method no doubt, served the
purpose of the time, but it would
now serve only as a reminder of the
methods pertaining to the drama of
those days and would simply be APP
preciated as such. "Parsifal," on the
contrary, while still being "mys-
terry" play is redolent with life and
color natural and spirited in action,
and in every particular much the
same as the better class OF the dr2ma
