Bohanna.
With that Clune dashed to the side

swept around the corner on the run.
Among them was John German, a
father.
In there," breathlessly exclaimed
Clune, pointing to the doorway.
German rushed up the steps and
almost fell over the baby. As he took
it in his arms he saw on the mat a
paper bag, which he tore open. II
contained a whiskey flask which had
been converted into a nursing bottle.

.Sacrosanct "Parsifal, "-Wagner's
Drama in Bayreuth and New York

New Workers who have the ability and
have also made use of opportunities TO
Judge are entitled to an opinion here.
II is an old observation that little else
than amusement (since it would be fool
ish to show vexatiOn) has ever been de-
rived from foreign opinion of the artistic
activities of New York. There have been
a few men Of mark who after few years
of participation I'm the musical life of the
United States have gone to their Euro
pean homes and told their old associates
the true story Of musical culture In SUCH
cities as New York and Boston. Mt.
Gericke has done IT, so has Mr.. Nikisch.
But their reports have fallen upon deaf or
incredulous ears and been met with scott
ing. New York is not at all concerned in
the present agitation, since, righteously
or unrighteously "Parsifal" has been in
the repertory OF the Metropolitan opera
House since December "a, 1903. Few Of
the accounts of the performances which
have been maintained every year since
then, written by foreigners, have done
even half justice TO our representations,
which, in pursuance Of one Of the de-
mands Of the German idealists, let it be

BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The Boston Symphony Orchestra will
begin it's New York season with Its hrs'
pair Of concerts on November and 8, In
Carnegie Hall, with the comfortable reel
ing OF sold-out houses. For the first time
since it came to New York, and doubtless
for the first time In any series OF con-
certs I'm New York, Carnegie Hall has
been sold out absolutely and completely
by subscription For the past several
years every concert by the Boston Sym
phony has had full house, but for the
coming season only admission tickets Will
be available for the general public.
Nothing in the history Of the Boston
symphony Orchestra has equalled the
warmth with which Mr.. Muck was greet
ed at his first appearances in Boston on
Friday afternoon, October II, and Satur-
day evening, October II. On both oc-
casions Symphony Hall was filled TO its
utmost capacity, and both In the after
noon and in the evening tho entire audi
ence rose as the distinguished conductor
made his appearance on the stage, while
the orchestra sounded a "Tusch." On
Saturday evening there was a particu-

observed, have been reserved for special
ccasions-rellgious and political holidays.
Some of them have been absurdly ma
lcious and mendacious. The present dis
cussion has brought out two contribu-
tlons, however, which are interesting to
the local reader. Lilli Lehman, writing
in the "Neue Freie Presse" Of Vienna,
contributes a bit of pref onriedlan his
tory. She says tina. in the winter Of 1887
Mr.. Stanton, then director OF the Metro
politan Opera House, asked her advice as
to the feasibility of giving "Parsifal''
there. He said that there was no legal
obstacle, but wanted her opinion as %
whether or not the company OF artists
was capable Of doing justice TO the work.
on that point she had no doubt what
ever, there being at hand a Sufficient
number OF great artists, a wonderful or
chestra, and Anton Seidl, probably the
best OF Wagnerian conductors" Never
theless, she advised Mr.. Stanton to leave
"Parsifal" to BayTeuth, because like no
other work Of WagneT's. 1t needed the
devotional mood which surrounded ii
there; she told him that it should not be
his to profane Wagner's swan song, and
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-10-20

fried: what he heard there, no doubt LED
him 10 abandon his threatened act. But
he could have given the drama had ne
wanted to, for Mr.. Stanton was not al
ways so Quixotic as he was when he per-
mitted some protested Wagner attorneys
10 collect royalties on "Tannhauser" and
"I,ohengrin." So much for that.
At the performance of "Parsifar'
which Mr.. Weingartner describes he was
a guest Of the present writer. There Is a
reference TO his presence and his COM
ments in Chapters of Opera:
At a later performance Weingartner.
conductor and composer, now director OF
the Royal Imperial Court Opera at
Vienna sat beside me. After the first
act ne spoke I'm terms generally compli-
mentary about the performance, but
criticised It's spirit and execution in parts.
When the scene of the magical garden
was discovered and the floral maidens
came rushing In he leaned forward In his
chair, and when the pretty hustle reached
its height. he could walt no longer to
give voice to his admiration. "Ahn' he
exclaimed, I'm a whisper, there's atmos-
phere! There's fragrance and grace"
Mr.. Weingartner has an excellent MEM
DRY. Having confessed in his article that
he has never been in the habit OF with
holding criticism Of Bayreuth, ne may,
perhaps, not take offence when he Is re-
minded that at dinner, between the first
and second acts OF 'Parsifal," on the oc-
cason in question, he defended against
the arguments of this writer the action OF
Mr.. Conried in the rape OF the drama on
the ground that many persons are urging
against the proposed Lex Parsifal' now,
namely. that It is too beautiful and sig
nihcant a work to remain cooped up for
ever In the secluded Franconan town. He
has changed his mind-which was his
privilege. His position then had been

well expressed some years before by
Hanslick In one Of his brilliant essays:
We are not Of the opinion that the tenn
poral and eternal salvation of mankind
depends upon the performance of an
opera, even the most perfect performance.
But fanatics who are OF this touching
mind ought to labor with all their might
TO make ouch salvation free to all, to
send "Parsifal' out into the world, as
Christ sent out His apostles, who did not
remain In Jerusalem and preach to money

morals and German culture ls impossible
