be one Of the greatest Wagner inter-

ner concerts I'm the big musical cen-
ner productions at Bayreuth itself un-
der the direction OF the famous
Madame Cosima Wagner, the wife OF
the great composer and his helpmeet
and artistic successor. The Wilmington
numbers include four OF Wagner's
most famous overtures. which In
themselves are considered TO be four OF
the greatest musical compositions ever
written. The Flying Dutchman" over
ture, which will be interpreted. depicts
a storm at sea, and IL has been said
OF II that one can almost see the spray

overture, which illustrates the descent
and ascent Of the Holy Grail. Is one OF
the most exquisite compositions for
strings ever written. The "Tannhaeu-l
ser" overture is exceedingly popular,
and its Pilgrim Chorus and bacchanal
music are famous everywhere as the
most picturesque and descriptive mu-
sic that the master wrote. In addition
TO the overtures Mr.. Pohlig has intro
duced the famous forest music from
"Siegfried," which gives tho whisper

music. Every number in the program
is a number which has stood the test
of appreciation ever since it was first
heard, and the program in full repre-
sents the very best of Wagner's art
and genius. The program follows:
