"Richard Wagner, storm centre of the music world during his life time, has again become a storm centre of the literary world as a result of the publication by Hurning. and" Root, two American authors, of a book entitled "The Truth abant Wagner."
J
This book cast grave reflections on the characters of Wagner, of his Arst wife, Minna Wagner, and his second wife Cosima Wagner, who died recently.
The authors asserted that they based their work on the famous "Burrel Collection " of Wagner documents, which has rested for 30 years in a safe in London, and is abortly to be published in England and Germany.
Dr. Julius Kapp, dramatist of the Berlin State Theatres, and a well-known Wagner expert, now asserts in interviews in the German Press that he has photographic copies of all the Wagner documenti in the Burrel collection. The pré sent owner of the collection has charged him with preparing its German publication.
Dr. Kapp alleges that the book of Burn and Root is a literary **bluff."
own
All the supposedly new allega- tions about Wagner and his first and second wife, he asserts, are pure inventions, while the rest has been taken from Dr. Kapp's and other books about Wagner. Dr. Kapp further alleges that
Hurn and Root never saw the Burret collection, and therefore cannot have used it as a basis cf their publication.
The sentence, "I am the son of Ludwig Geyer," which Hurn and Root cite as being the first sen- tence of Wagner'a secret auto- biography, is false.

The assertion of Hurn and Root that Cosima. Wagner had. the fourth part of Wagner's autobiography, and had rewritten it herself, is likewise wrong, be- cause Wagner wrote the fourth part himself in 1881, and de- dicated it to Franz Liszt.
