THE DAILY RECORD, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1908. 1 1 ■ The Bishop in charge has appointed Rev. J. F. Butterworth, Mrs. Butterworth, and Mrs. T. H. Norton Delegates from the Convocation of the American Churches on the Continent of Europe, to the Pan- Anglican Congress, which meets in London from June 15th to June 24th. It is believed that this will be the largest Missionary Conference that has ever been assembled. —— * Royal Opera House. It is exceptional when the “Ring” can be performed at the Dresden Opera House without calling upon outside assistance, and it has well-nigh become a custom to hear on these occasions artists from other stages, if not always to admire them.. Neither is this circumstance a matter for surprise, even though the Dresden Court Opera at present possesses a larger personnel than that at the command of any other German house. On Thursday last it became necessary to call upon Herr Walther Soomer to sing Wotan in “Rheingold,” as Herr Perron had become hoarse at the last moment. We greatly regretted having to miss his wonderful representation of this distinctive role; the powerful grandeur of his Wotan may safely be called a model for every stage. In spite of this regrettable absence, how ever, both the audience and the management had occasion to rejoice that Herr Soomer happened to be at their disposal. This Leipzig artist has rapid ly made a name for himself. When at the Halle theatre only two years ago he was practically un known, and it was not until Professor Nikisch en gaged him for the Leipzig Opera that attention was attracted to him, and he was invited to sing Kur- wenal at Bayreuth in 1906. To the Dresden public he is already known in the concert hall, and the favourable impression already conveyed by his work was fully maintained on Thursday evening. His voice is of beautiful, full brilliance, equable, and, in spite of its light timbre, of great power in the lower keys. If all depended upon the voice Herr Soomer would be an ideal Wotan, but unfortunately he has not yet fully absorbed the part. His Wotan is not quite credible; one cannot regard him as a personality of the highest tragic importance. Herr Soomer’s im personation impresses one only as that of a being who now and then becomes angry, but who, at the bottom of his heart, is an excellent fellow. But in spite of this ultra-humane conception, the artist succeeded in giving expression to a dignified energy at the conclusion. There he was convincing,—in spite of the blunder on the part of the Management, already alluded to in these columns, i. e. of allowing him to pick up a sword that happens to be lying among the Niebelungen treasure and raise it to the dignity of the victorious sword Nothung. Wagner is not responsible for this blunder. The rest of the performance went on as usual, unfortunately so, for there are still none of the new decorations and costumes so painfully needed. The stage looked most depressing, and in the midst of such threadbare finery the goddesses moved in their elegant costumes which, without being con spicuous, they might easily have worn at a modern ball. Indeed, Fraul ein Seebe would no doubt have cut a better figure at a ball than here on the stage, for she is not a Freia—a goddess of perennial blossoms: not even her voice was flowery. Frau lein von Chavanne again acted her role of Fricka at that lofty height to which we are accustomed, and since vocally she was extremely well disposed, her performance afforded sincere pleasure. Herr Burrian’s Loge was beyond all praise; no words of admiration can be found to sufficiently express its beauty. On almost an equal level was Herr Rudiger’s rendering of Mime. Such perfor mances richly compensated us for the boredom of Herr Puttlitz’s representation. In spite of his beautiful voice, this artist fails to captivate us: he remained throughout a good Philistine, incapable of any emotion. Herr Plaschke’s Alberich gains in grandeur and power every time, and if he succeeds in infusing more of the demoniac spirit into his curse he will be an ideal representative of that part. The ensemble of the Rhine maidens, Mesdames Nast, v. d. Osten, and Eibenschutz, sounded wonder fully beautiful, and Frau Schafer likewise gave pleasure to her listeners. Herr Grosch as Froh, and Herr Rains as Fafner, were both ad mirable. Herr Buss el, as Donner, was a new figure on the Dresden stage, and it is high time that this gifted artist is afforded an opportunity prov ing in more important roles whether he is able to strike the same key of excellent characterisation as he does in minor parts. His Donner was cer tainly a good beginning. Herr von Schuch con ducted with incomparable verve, and carried his audience away by his temperament. His very entrance on this occasion was the signal for an outburst of applause, for it was the anniversary of the day upon which, forty years ago, he wielded the ^ baton for the first time. The applause which again greeted him at the conclusion should have conveyed to him in unmistakable terms the public’s receptiveness of his fine artistic temperament. M. N. DRESDEN Oxford University Extension Lectures. The last of these lectures was delivered on Thurs day evening by Mr. J. C. Powys, M. A., before a crowded audience, the discourse being as power ful and interesting as the first on Carlyle. On this occasion the subject was Charles Dickens, whom the lecturer treated in his usual inimitable style, the lecture affording a worthy climax to what has proved a most interesting, stimulat ing, and withal thoroughly enjoyable venture embarked upon by the Dresdner Verein fiir neuere Philologie. It would be invidious to re capitulate the effects of the lectures with a view to drawing comparisons between the manner in which the twelve have been variously delivered^ Since the object of these • University Extension Lectures is primarily to create an interest in in tellectual culture among such as have had no facili ties for reaping the benefits conferred by Univer sity attendance, it may be safely said that Mr. Powys has without doubt thoroughly succeeded in achieving this high aim. We venture to assert that even among those of his audiences who had no previous acquaintance with the poets and prose writers upon whom he discoursed the lectures have had an inspiring influence, so that many will undertake the study of English and American literature, with the ultimate effect of creating within themselves a more tolerant, broad-minded, and just view of their neighbours, especially of those across the Channel. Such an object achieved surely represents another triumph, not only for Mr. Powys, to whom we cannot be grateful enough for the manner in which he put his entire personality into the subjects of his choice, but also for the Verein fur Neuere Philologie, which displayed praiseworthy courage in entering upon a project that at first did not by any means seem certain of success. The fact of H. R. H. Prince Johann Georg, who was again present with the Princess on Thursday evening, having attended nearly all the lectures shows that they were wel comed in all grades of society, up to the highest. We tender our hearty congratulations to the management of the Verein, particularly to Pro fessors Meier and Besser, and gladly give ex pression to the feelings of gratitude experienced by all who were fortunate enough to attend these lectures. We hear from an authentic source that the venture will be repeated' next year, when other subjects will be chosen, and are glad to be in a position to announce that, in all probability, Mr. Powys will again be deputed to conduct the lectures. |PJ| Ad The programme of the music to be performed at the Vespers service in the Kreuzkirche at 2 o’clock this afternoon, will be as follows: (1) Organ prelude.

Sieglinde, who has fallen in love with Siegmiund, gives her husband a sleeping- draught and then, in a passionate interview with Siegmund, discovers that he is her brother, and shows him a sword planted in a tree by Wotan. Siegmund pulls out the sword and they flee. Wotan charges BriinnhUde, his daughter by Erda the earth-mother, one of the Walkyries, or shield-maidens, who convey the bodies of dead heroes to Walhalla, to assist Siegmiund in his fight with Hunding, but Fricka, Wotan’s wife and the protectress of marriage-laws, inter venes, and Wotan is forced to countermand hie orders to Brttnn- hilde.

She stands by Siegmund in the fight, but Wotan breaks Siegmund’s sword, and he is killed by Hunding, who also falls dead before Wotan's glance of wrath. Brunnhilde flies on her horse Grane with Sieglinde, and joins her sister Walkyries, imploring them to save Sieglinde. They refuse, fearing Wotan’s wrath, but Briinnhilde, telling Sieglinde she will bear a son, sends her to hide in the forest where Fafner, the giant, in the guise of a dragon, guards the Rhine-gold, after giving her the fragments of Siegmund’s sword. Wotan arrives in terrible wrath, ’ and to punish Briinnhilde for her disobdience, deprives her of her immortality, dooming her to a magic sleep and to be the prey of any man who shall awaken her. Deeply moved by the parting with his favorite daughter, he accedes to her last request that none but a hero shall be permitted to awaken her, and summoning Loge, he bids him surround Briinnbilde’s rocky couch with a wall of flame Composer: Richard Wagner, bom 1813, died 1883.
