correctly speaking the Christian drama of which is now creating such sueh a furore throughout the country and which is to be presented in the Salt Lake theatre Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee Nov 2 and 3 we have Richard Wagners masterpiece From a religious pOint of view a play wherein each and every character in incident and accessory is more or less symbolical of some Christian teaching philosophical thought or problem of humanity In the hOly temple with its noble knights we are intended to see in fl its grandeur and beauty that state Of f the human mind and thought that is most acceptable to God Only the knights who have reached that standard are admitted within the walls of the holy temple The hOly grail is here intended to represent the actual grace of God When uncovered the grail sheds its lus lustrous trous gifts on all present Without this divine sustenance life within the hJ IY temple is unbearable Faith works of charity does not find tind favor in his presence In the faithful guardian of the holy grail the author intended to represent a perfect type of the spirit Lal Utopia the condition that was and that is to be As long as the grace of God was received b by the uncovering of the holy grail gran and all within the sacred portals of the holy temple lived the life of faith love and charity Then gave the holy grail to the safekeeping of his son who fell a victim to temptation and was in inconsequence inconsequence consequence unworthy to uncover the grail the old King died the knights lost their spiritual power and was a constant sufferer in inbody inbody body mind and conscience Such was the result of sin and weakness when in inthe inthe the very presence of the grace of God merely waiting for the asking In the suffering figure of o we are led to see a picture of poor sin sinful sinful ful humanity brought to this condition through its own weakness and neglect In the wound in the side of which will viiI not heal we see a symbol of the conscience of man who having committed a deadly wrong hovers hoers with him alwa always s as a reminder of his sin But even great as his crime has been is finally redeemed and brought back to the favor and grace of God in th the holy t temple mple peni penitence penitence tence and his craving for salvation the loyal servitor of the holy temple and its knights is seen as one who sl suffers for the faults of others yet not losing faith in God is finally rewarded for his constancy and loyalty In tile the character of we see seethe seethe the type of the tempter and evildoer who being unworthy of Gods favor himself seeks to ruin and degrade all who are more fortunate is denied admission to the temple In revenge he tri tries S b by every every artifice and means meana to bring ruin upon the heads of the knights of the toly oly grail His magic flower garden and its beauteous maidens by which he tries to accomplish his d design sign is likened to the vanities and frivolities of the world that are inclined to blind ones eyes to the true path and so render one less liable lable to successfully resist falling into the pit before him In the character of witch and enchantress we ree rec at once a female type of the Jekyll and Hyde order The author intended to portray with this character the ordinary human love in contrast to that higher and spiritual love loye that we instinctively crave for But we see seemore seemore more than this however in the char character character acter of We perceive the dreadful depths that polluted passion and desire so often mistaken for the i ennobling natural love can lead one oneto oneto i to We Ve see in tills this beings dual nature I even at its worst stage the instinctive craving for release from her bondage of and the desire to do good even when an outcast In her struggles to free herself from the control of we wesee wesee see poor fallen womanhood str striving ving to resist with aU all her power yet weak and powerless in the gras grasp of sin sh she is unable to continue the struggle longer falls farther still into the vortex of shame and degradation degradation dation Yet we ultimately see tIlls this be L 4 7 9 34 i j 5
