Show & & & "PARSIFAL." When properly staged, it would be impossible to imagine a more beautiful scene than the enchanted en-chanted garden In "Parsifal," which comes to the Salt Lake Theater for three nights, starting Monday, Mon-day, February 19. The eye beholds a wilderness of flowers peopled peo-pled with girls of fascinating loveliness, bedecked in gowns of gorgeous beauty. Parsifal enters and the flower maidens, with wiles and blandishments, seek to woo him, but in vain; he is still the "guileless "guile-less one." Kundry now appears, dismisses the childish wooers, and with all her arts makes an attack on Parsifal's heart. Tenderly she recites to him his mother's death and sorrowfully he sinks at her feet. She winds her arms around his neck and presses her cher to his. He spurns her and cries, "To all eternity thou wouldst be damned with me, should I forget my mission!" Mad with disappointment disap-pointment and rage at the failure of his schemes, Klinschor appears on the ramparts and hurls the sacred spear at Parsifal. Instead, however, of piercing, it miraculously hovers over his head. . He grasps it, makes the sign of the cross, whereupon where-upon Klinschor's magic spell is broken, the garden gar-den with its wonderful beauty falls to ruin, and amid dire confusion, Parsifal is seen high-upon the broken walls, triumphantly waving the holy spear, thus recovered from the powers of evil. i i |
