It la obvious) that only musicians of proven sbility can be considered for such positions, because the entire responsibility for the instrument is In their bands. With one of the livest organ clubs in the country right her in Camden, it should be easy to maintain a high standard of programs. Indeed it might not be a bad idea, if Camden does ret a municipal organ, to 'leave full supervision ef it, to the organisation mentioned. In Denver recitals sre given daily at noon and attractive printed program are issued. There is no admission charge and members of the audience are encouraged to "request" any musical selections they desire to hear.

In addition th Denver concerts are broadcast daily by radio. That a municipal organ would be one more 'big thing for Camden is I think, readily apparent.

Parsifal Glows At Bayreuth As Festival Ends Finkeni Hears Magnificent Performances of Two Great Wagner Music Dramas- IThls Is the fourth of a series ef articlee written exclusively for The Courier by Mr.

Finkeni, who" is touring the musical centres of Europe. By Pitl W. rnfKKJtt Bayreuth. Germany. Aug.

21. The rrsst Wagnerian opera festival here closed yesterday. In every way a tremendous success. was charmed at once with Bayreuth, which nestles like a jewel amid sloping hills and fertile farm1 lands. Its narrow and often gloomy streets In the older district have many buildings dating from the middle ages, rich In historical Interest and containing many relics of the Thirty Yeara' War.

On the outskirts of the town on the side of a hill, stands the majestic Wagner Festspielhaus. the great monument to one of the rami W. FUkesJ greatest composers. The easy ing niiLeide affords a epacious prom- v. 4 tne meaire, owing to the lack of one inside.

Numerous beer gardens are scat- on me sides or grassy promenade, where ofie can quench the tairai wiloout thought of "dry iw aerveo icy cold from huge pots. Americans are overwhelmingly In evidence and outnumber th visitors five to one and are cordially welcomed by the conservative and quiet townsfolk. For the realization of Siegfried Wagner's dream of making Bayreuth once more the festival centre of all Europe is due primarily to financial and moral aid from America. Upon Siegfried Wagner has rested tne entire responsibilities of the fes tival, coal ma, widow of the great wmmwer. auenoea praciicany ail performances.

The interior of the Festspielhaus nuiuus uuw oi sector oc an old xvtfinaa smpnitneaire. The interior of the magnificent Festspielhaus has, to all appearances, been remodeled and modernized, although the old cane seats have-never een repiacea Dy tne usual unhnl stered chairs. More perfect acoustics in a theatre could not be desired, nor could one wish for a more satisfactory atmosphere in which to hear the Bayreuth master's music dramas. The orchestra is submerged, invisible, to the audience, in the pit designed by uglier nimseir. Complete performances of "Parsl fal, "Die Meistersinger" and the Nibelungen Ring have been given throughout the month's festival.

The tnree directors are Karl Muck, for mer conductor of the Boston Sym phony. Frits Busch and Siegfried Wagner. Among the singers are Emmy Kru- ger, Hilda feieroik. Claire Born, Elsa Aisen, nemricn Scnultx, Will Sonnen, Killy Bader and Fritz Wolff. Prac tically all are artists of the first rank nv tne matter of Wagnerian interpretations.

All performance start at 4 In the afternoon, concluding at 11 o'clock, with three-quarters of an hour intermission between each act. It is in I these periods that the restaurateurs in the vicinity reap a greenback har-1 vest I The reason for the length of the1 performances is that the Wagner scores are given entirely without cuts. American conductors frequent-' ly slice the Wagnerian scores but here they are given complete, as the composer actually conceived them and they are by no means tiresome so. Just before the beginning of each act, a brass choir of twelve pieces sounds fanfare from the grassy promenade, on each side of the thea tre. It is a warning 4 hat all must be seated five minutes before the rise of the curtain.

The festivals closed with performances of "Die Meistersinger." August 19. and "Parsifal." Auaiist 2u. Muck conducted on both occasions To my mind! wegner reached his greatest heights in "Parsifal." and this performance of it was exceptionally beautiful. The "Meistersinger" performance was another triumph. The cast included Hermann Weil.

Hans Bur. Bur, Claire Born, Eugen Girth, all real "singing actors and actresses." The choral work was remarkable owing its proficiency to Prof. Hugo Ru-deT. of Berlin. The scenic effects and lighting left nothing to be desired.

The Bayreuth Festival will be given again next year and all indications point to the establishment of this glorious Festspielhaus as a permanent Institution, no longer at the mercy of fluctuating currencies and political upheavals, remaining as an active memorial to its founder one of the greatest composers of all time. SWIFT PRIZE AWARDED The Swift Co. male chorus some time sgo offered a prize of J100 for the best musical setting for the poem "Blest Pair of Sirens." by John Milton.
