Frau Winifred Klindworth Wagner,
widow of Siegfried Wagner, the son of
the great composer, has quietly but IN
the most capable way, taken up the
burden laid down first by Cosima Wag-
ner and then by her husband. Frau
Winifred has for years worked with the
late Siegfried, and according to recent
visitors from Bayreuth she has begun
with a courage born of long association
with Wagner traditions a campaign to
maintain its exalted standards. 1t is
predicted that she soon will visit this
country. where the splendid Wagner
music has such a wide following. The
new manager of the Bayreuth Opera
House is the daughter of an orchestra
leader, the late Karl Klindworth, who
had been associated with the illustrious
composer in the early days of Bay
reuth. AS a small girl she was accus-
toned to attend rehearsals and to hear
the arguments pro and con on each
proposed innovation. After her mar
riage to the son of Richard Wagner

has gradually been intrusted with re-

years she has acted as general secre-
tary and business manager. She was
thus able to lessen the strain on her
husband by attending to the trouble

him more leisure for artistic super
vision Frau Winifred Wagner. Is how
ever, say musical critics, irreconcilably
opposed to sponsoring Wagner opera
save in Bayreuth and Munich, and the
report of movement to establish a
Wagner opera center in New York and
music-loving cities of the Middle West

Governor Parades
The Afro-Americans
The announcement>through the pub
licity bureau of His Excellency of his
Endorsement by 1900 Afro-Americans
did not come as a surprise to those
who have been familiar with the fight
that is being made for fourth term.
Beginning with his second campaign
the Governor has been counting the
colored brother behind the door just
as he has been counting other groups,
and the wholesale Endorsement of
this week is the result of the latest
efforts.
This is, of course, an effort to offset
the Governors declining strength
among the whites of Maryland, and
an evidence that many colored voters
do not look upon Richie as much of
Democrat. The fact is that the returns
of 1928 showed that the colored
brother voted as solidly as usual for
the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent and that being so, the backing
some of them are now giving Richie
needs explaining. Are the negroes who
are now endorsing the Governor men,
bers of the better class of the. race
or are they the crap shooting ele-
ment? Certainly the crap shooters
should back His Excellency to the
last ditch as he has long been the
favorite of the crap shooting whites.

heiress to the gloomy old manor, In

to be quite as talented as q
''Screamer'' as she is as a dramatic
actress. Her penetrating shrieks,

the merits of musical comedy are

who willed that his property should
not be disposed CT until 20 years
after his death. Then, at midnight,
20 years after his death, his will is
to be read and the heir to his fortune
announced. A codicil in the will re-
quires that II the rightful heir
