One of the most notable events In the history of the stage in this coun try, was the grand and magnificent spectacle of Wagner's world renowned drama of "Parsifal," witnessed at the Metropolitan Theatre in New York city. Scholars and students, musicians and artists, and all lovers of the re fined and beautiful flocked In thou sands." from all parts of tho New World, to witness thl3 wonderful work. The press and clergy vied with each other In extolling its many beauties. The Intelligent public at large praised and lauded It without exception. "Par sifal" was then, and always will re main so. In the minds of the thousands that witnessed it. by far the most magnificent and beautiful spectacle ever placed upon the stage or present ed to the public. It was not limited In name to "opera. Even talented musicians referred to it as a "music drama," or "grand spectacle." These statements can best be un derstood by the many of our readers who are more or less famlHar with the mythical stories of the "Holy Grail." made famous throughout the world by the most renowned of our poets and scholars. It ls a theme that has stirred the hearts and souls of men for ages. It will continue to do so for ages to come. Messrs. Martin and Emery's com pany, which will present this famous festival play at the Academy Thurs day, February 7th, Is the only travel ing organization doing so. Its mas sive scenic requirements and the-expense of - carrying a company large and competent enough to do Justice to so grand. a production, does not warrant the average theatrical man ager In undertaking -thd task. Two special cars, carrying the parapherna lia and company, are required for this production. Judgment Agairr?i Rai'road.
