I do not wish to be known as a Wagnerian conductor, as I love the operas of all nations."

Herr Matejko, an official Austrian staff artist in World War I, perfected his technique in the trenches and has again been given fullest scope for his talent by the German High Command. Possessor of a fluent romantic style, Theo Matejko works usually in charcoal. Aged 45, famed in Berlin as the driver of a white Mercédès racing car, he has flown this year with Nazi sea raiders but does not claim to have seen the alleged bombing of Ark Royal. This may account for considerable artistic license...
