An art- fst, particularly a ee. naturally wants to get a sympathetic re- sponse from his audience. It is something he can sense immediate- ly and it is difficult to do one’s best without it. But in “Tannhiuser” the hero of the opera must wait until the last act before he feels this, when as a broken and despairing man he re- turns from Rome, doomed by the Pope, as he thinks, to eternal per- dition, and in desperation determin- ed to return to Venus who had got him into all this trouble. Then he wins the sympathy of the audience. In the first two acts he is a neurotic, perhaps a madman, fluctuating constantly between sens- ual delights and spiritual aspira- tions. The artist who interprets him must portray a man in the hands of forces greater than him- self which now cast him down, now uplift him. He is a battlefield be- tween desires of the flesh and as- pirations of the soul. On one side is Venus, the goddess of love, on the other Elizabeth, the pure wo- man who ultimately is to redeem him. Plot Taken From Old Legends “Tannhauser” is a great master- | mess @ notable tragedy built upon Mines almost Greek in their breadth, simplicity and symmetry. As in most of his operas Wagner went for his plot to old legends and folk- tales. The minstrel Tannh4user has be- come the beloved of Dame Venus in her grotto in the Venusburg, where he has dwelt with her, the recipient of all the sensual delights the goddess of love can offer. At last, surfeited with all these, con- scious of his deadly sin, he breaks away to seek forgiveness from the one, who, he thinks, alone can save him, the Holy Virgin. Suddenly translated into the up- per world, he finds himself in a meadow over which the great cas- Metropolitan Opera Association, Incorporated MRS.

There live the Landgrave of Thur- ingia, his niece, the saintly Eliza- beth; there he had lived and had won the love of Elizabeth before Venus had caught him in her net. A shepherd boy is piping to his flock. A band of pilgrims passes on its way to Rome. He would join them, when there comes a hunting party, the Landgrave, his friend Wolfram and other minstrels, who welcome him back and would have him accompany them to the Wart- burg where is to be held a contest, of song. How Tannhauser Wins Redemption Refusing at first, he is persuaded to go when Wolfram tells him that Elizabeth still longs for his return. In the second act occurs the Song Contest in which Wolfram sings’ of love—spiritual love. This is too much for Tannhauser. He hears the call of Venus. His madness returns and seizing his harp he bursts into a wild song of sensual love, the love which only one who has been with Venus can understand. ‘The assembly breaks up in con- fusion. The ladies retreat in hor- ror. The nobles would kill him on the spot. Elizabeth pleads for him and wins his life on his promise to accompany the pilgrims to Rome and there seek pardon from the Pope. Elizabeth is dead. She had waited at the cross roads to see if he was with the returning pilgrims. He was not with them and she had gone to the castle to die. He tells his experience to Wolfram and just as he is about to give himself again to Venus, Elizabeth’s bier is car ried down the mountain side... Filled with remorseful agony, he falls on it and dies. Green leaves sprout from his pilgrim’s staff. He has been redeemed and purified through the love of a good woman. Paris Version To Be Used The opera was first produced in Dresden in 1845 and the music is =) characteristic of the Wagner of that period, except in the Venus- burg scene which Wagner rewrote and added to for the Paris produc- tion in 1861. In this the gorgeous Bacchanale and most, of the other music is that of the Wagner who wrote “Tristan und Isolde.” The Paris version will be used in this performance and in it the | famous overture runs directly, with- out pause, into the Venusberg mus- {| ic, the Bacchanale and the long scene between Venus and Tann- hauser. In the second scene of the first act we hear the Shepherd's song, the first pilgrims’ chorus and ithe fine male ensemble which brings | it to an end. The second act opens with Eliza- beth's joyous greeting to the hall which is so soon again to see the beloved minstrel; then come the duo between Elizabeth anti Tann- hAuser, the entrance of the nobles— known as the “Tann- hauser March” —the contest. of song and the long and ensemble which closes the act. second pilgrims’ chorus, ‘prayer, Wolfram's song to the Eve- ning Star and the thrilling narra- tive of the returned hero.

This represents a 23 percent increase over the first schedule, All of the increase, it was said, was required to meet ad- ditional orders from dealers be- } yond original commitments. The demands from dealers following the presentation of the new Ford V-8 ear for 1934 two months ago has exceeded even the most op- timistie estimates, it was reported. Ford V-8 cylinder production {set an all-time record for the in- dustry, the month’s total being 54,- O38" passenger cars, commercial ears and trucks.
