ton Walter Damro h In to givecelebrated explanatory lecture on theproduction of Parsifal The entertamment Is being given by Mrs A CBarney through whose generality Itwas expected that Bernard Shaws

Candida was to have been performedbut a confusion of dates n eeaeitted-a change In the program Prominentsociety women will act usand event promises to b soleworthy

Mr Diunroachs Wagnerian rentalshave beerf given with signal success forsome time and many who have not hadthe opportunity of hearing Parsifalwin be unusually Interested in his interesting description and explanation ofthe famous production

The recitals are its as theyare novel and the combination of dis-course and vocal illustration is a coirplete substitute for operatic treatmentand la more satisfying than one couidpossibly anticipate

Mr Damrosch compasses on the pianoa degree of orchestral effect that is sidto he marvelous His execution Is dis-tinguished much by delicacyfeeling for the spiritual a It in bybreadth ami vigor He narrute de-

claims muses storms pleadH defiesin short he runs the gamut of dramaticand musical expression-

A peculiar charm about the recitalIs that the hnnlfest depth ufthe subject Mr Damroscli can be un-derstood by musician and layman alikeHo gives evidence of being both him-self and to know many things besidesmusic

Washington is particularly Interested-in the lecture for the numberof musicians resident here are obligedto depend almost exclusively on thiHsort of entertainment for their supplof Wagner they can afford otake a run over to New York everyonce In a while to hear one of hisworks That is hardly within the meansof most of them and the coming dis-sertation on Parsifal will be vastlyInteresting-

Mr Damrosch has long been a stu-dent of Wagnerian music andfamiliarity with the great master andhis works will tend to make the le-cture doubly interesting He adopts legi-timate means to win the favor of hisaudiences does not wear long hair orassume any of the eccentricities of thefreak musician HP is said to coverhis theme in simple unaffected lan-guage and to make plain to everyoneeach phase of tIn Wagner nature

Parsifal has been the sensation ofthe current New York seasonand n description of the production byso competent a as Mr Damroach should afford keen enjoyment toWashington music lovers

Talented WashinKtoniansWashington has contributed many

clever people to the native stage but itsquota of composers and librettists is un-

usually small However every once ina while a new and equally clever

bobs up and despite the repute1lack of local patronage to Washingtonplayers tho public of the Capital CityIs nevertheless loyal

This was never more plainly demon-strated than on last Tuesday afternoonat the Lafayette Theater when GeorgeBentley presented his own comedy TheKleptomaniacs and played the chiefrole besides The house was packedfrom pit to dome and unusual enthusiasm was displayed toward the work ofthe interpreting players

Mr BentleYs libretto deserves highpraise lie interpolated much genuinecomedy to the part of Doodle andproved himself a clever comedian Sincethe performance he has had the pleasure of refusing to part with his manuscript for a tempting sum to a prominent New York manager and will re-tain it for production under his own di-

rection A performance In Baltimore-Is under consideration and In additionto this Mr Bentley has had severalprofessional offers This should be artlcularly to Mr Bentleysfriends and means much to futureshould he conclude to adopt a stagecareer

One of the vocal successes of TheKleptomaniacs was accredited to Jo-seph L Battle who sang the role ofJack Mr Battle gave the Stein Songfrom The Prince of Pllsen tho students song from The Chaperons andseveral other numbers in excellent styleWhoa one considers the number of IntenOr who make their way Intogood positions on the professional stage
