FRAU COSIMA WAGNER IN A BAD TEMPER Recent advices from Beyreuth state that consternation Is rife among the musical people there over the nouncetnent that has Just been made that there will be no Wagnerian per* formances nt Bayreuth next year, ow ing to the serious differences that have arisen between some of the chief per formers and the eccentric Frau Costma Wagner, widow of the grand opera composer, nnd other members of the Wagner family. The announcement will not only af fect the musicians In Beyreuth, but Is bad news to the musical people the world over, particularly those of Amer ica and tho aristocracy of Paris, with whom the Beyreuth festivals have be- otne a fad. A lat’Rer number of wealthy Americans than usual were present this year and the news of the discontinuance of the great musical fest will be received with Intense dis appointment. It Is probably the fact that as Wag ner has become a “fad" among the rich and pleasure loving Americans, Frau Wagner has decided to do away with the festivals, *or In speaking recently f the production *>* “Parsifal” in New York, she expressed herself as opposed mq*t bitterly to America and Ameri cans. ”1 do not see any way of pre venting the production of "Parsifal*' In New York ns the American Judge has spoken. ‘Parsifal’ will be perform ed In a country of dollars. I cannot prevent the sacrilege,” she remarked. It is worthy of note that at the last festival there were more Americans among the visitors than of any other one nationality. Frau Coaim a Wagner Is a woman of remarkable force, despite the fact that she Is 70 years of age. She Is tall and slim and generally wears a black gown and lace mantilla about her head.
