THE THRILLS OF YOUR LIFE Heart <Songs Furnish You With a Thrill That You Cannot Get Any Other Way The thrills of life are not many, therefore the real ones are moment ous. There is not today a boy or girl of marriageable age, or man or woman of years, whose anticipation or recollection does not center on a certain imperative event in their lives more importune in the light of things to come, or in the glow of past happenings, than at the time it was possible to believe. Leaving it to those of experience, one great thrill can e at the sound of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin whiqh was played or sung at the cul mination of their life’s action up to that point. This Bridal Chorus or Wedding March, as it is often called, as a symbol has had more influence on future events than many of us (■are to acknowledge. Because it has been played during moments of in-' tense importance personally, it there fore has a specific value to us, and on hearing it—whether our lives have run in even channels or not—there is always a strong pull on the nerves. Other parts of the Wagner Opera are as important musically, and had tb'-re been some personal association they would bring perhaps as great a thrill. We are compelled through lack of chances to hear great music to feel a certain indifference. There is no excuse for this in these days when it ia so easy to acquire knowl edge outside of the theater. The Times-Recorder is contributing a book of more than four hundred song* which will enlighten and enter tain every reader of this nape*.
