A good day for the box office today: 5,200 marks came in, enough to keep us for 2 days. Trouble about the candelabra in the auditorium. The final scene of Götterdämmerung is given shape, with human forms, not transparencies. Nice telegram from the King, thanking us for the Nietzsche pamphlet.
Second act of Siegfried, Herr Unger in very good voice! The previous evening Herr Niemann had declared that he (Unger) would not have a note left in his throat for the second act! ... R. very tired. He sleeps now only until 3 or 4 in the morning!
