PARSIFAL. One of the most promising signs of late years in connection with the drama. is the greatly Increased interest shown by the better etnas of theater goers in dramatic productions of a and religious nature. Among the more notable of this class of plays may be mentioned "The Eternal City," "John the Baptist, "Sign of the Cross." Mary of Magdala. "Ben Hur" and The Shepherd King." Each of these dramas has met with distinct favor, not only occasioned by the beauty and depth of the various themes presented, but because, also, there is no greater or more graphically dramatic material to be gained from any source than that of the Bible. The latest and most successful of all religious dramas seen In this country, although for years past it has been witnessed in Europe, is Richard Wagners magnificent spectacle, Parsifal." While there la not a biblical character seen in the production, it Is essentially a grandly rellglous work. It Is true there are soma sacred objects dealt with, but they are used only as 1 means to an end. to attain the purpose the author desired, without In any way violating Christian truths or treading upon one's Christian susceptibility. It la simply a great moral drama, conceived and written by n Christian genius, in the effort to reproduce the reverential atmosphere of the original surroundings and in other details, th( tradition of Baireuth will b preserved during the engagement at the Grand Opera house, Saturday, November 7, except in the commencing time, which has been slightly changed.
