THE DRAMATIC DIVISION,
with membership sufficiently numerous
to produce the largest spectacular plays OF
meiodramas, and containing talent capa-
BILE Of artistically rendering the incest and
most licatesociety or conversational com:

VIM. Platte, vice presidenr; Otto Dreher.
stage manager; Paul Kuehn, assistant
stage manager and requisiteur; and Gus
tav Stoltze, secretary and souffleur. The
DIVISION was very fortunate in obtaining
the services of Mr.. Franz Reinau, an artist
OF eminent ability and one of the bright
est lights on the German stage, for a short
star engagement and will open the season
OF German theatricals tonight by produc-
ton of an elegant society comedy in three
acts, by Wilhelmine Won Hillern, the cele-
DRAFTED authoress, daughter of the author
ess of Fanchon, the Cricket, ETC., ETC.. and
entitled
THE EYES OF LOVE.
This exquisite production has been an
immense success at all the royal and 9TH
er prominent theaters Of Germany but has
never yet been played in this country, and
the German society will have the credit of
first producing it with the following first
and original cast in America:
Lieut.. General Count Won
Steinbach (Retired Mr.. Otto Dreher
Priska, his daugh-
ter. Countess Marie Won Sereney;.
Fredrica, called fly his niece
and ward. Miss Julie Riedt
Count Brunnec- Hardenheim
Scientist and Explorerl Mr. Franz Reindu.
Baroness LeoIie-Neubring
1.-THE Generals Relative) Miss Bertha Riedt
Count Maroli, (Ofiicer of
Hussars) ................M Mr.. John J. Penner
Johann (the Generals Seryant) Mr.. Carl Boelter
The Groom Of Count Ma
IOiy MT. ALBEIT ulGctZ0oT.
The scene is on the grounds OF the gen
eral IN capital city of South Germany.
Time: The present. The overture and
musical interludes will be furnished in
specially rich bouquet of melodies by Sci
berts pickle orchestra. The piece has
undergone most thorough and painstaking
rehearsals under the personal direction
and tuition of Mr.. Reinau and the result
cannot but be finished performance.
Mr.. Reinau enjoys the reputation of be-
ing one of the finest Shakesperean actors
on the German stage, his Hamlet particu-
larry being classed as at the very pinnacle
OF artistic greatness and of realistic truth
fitness to the best conceptions of the roy
al, subtle and melancholy Dane, held by
men of letters and true scholars, and it is
probable that the dramatic division will
bring out this great play on Sunday, the
9Th of November, using the translation by
Schlegel Flick, conceded to be the best
translation extant and so true to the words
of the immortal author that one of our
amateurs, who had participated in a pre-
viOus performance in the role of the First
Grave Digger (having formerly played the
same part in the English lapguage) was SO
constantly reminded of the original Eng
llsh) text, that he had to take the greatest
pains TO remember his German and not
spoil the play by an involuntary English
answer to his German Hamlet's questions
at the grave of Yorick. Other novelties
by the division are ready and only await
ing their time on the repertoire which
comprises tragedy, comedy, farce, melo-
drama, operetta, classic and modern.
THE MUSICAL DIVISION,
consisting of the M@nnerchor (male
chorus) and ladies' vocal chorus has long
been in active training under the able and
energetic leadership of Prof. Richard
Stempf, himself a superior vocalist, pos
sessing voice of most magnetic ''timbre''
and profoundly dramatic expression. The
opera Gear and Zimmerman" has been
the objective point during the past two
months and would have been produced ere
this, had not family bereavements COM
manded peremptory postponement. The
date for the performance has now, how
ever, been definitely fixed for next Sunday
evening, the 29th inst, when this great and
melodious masterpiece of Lortzing will be
enacted with all the accessories necessary,
including grand orchestra, powerful chorus,
scenic effects, historical costumes and with
the solo parts cast in the following man
ner:
Peter 1. Gar of Russia lin garb Of ship
wright .................Mr Mr.. Albert Scheffer
Lord Sexedbaur, English Ambassador
Mr.. Carl Hilderbrand
Marquis de Chateaureuf, French Ambassador
Mr.. Geo. Bielitz
Admiral Lefert, (Russian Ambassador
Mr.. Otto Dreher
Burgomaster of Saardane. -. Mr.. P. j. Giesen
Widow Braun .............. Miss Phllly Petsey
Shipwrights, citizens, soldiers, ETC., ETC.. by the
full strength of the division.
The opera has been produced before, but
owing to change in cast, membership and
other causes, this production will be as
essentially new to most of the amateur per-
formers as it will undoubtedly prove to all
who will witness its production and whose
members will certainly fill the Athen@um
to overlooking.
THE POPULAR SUNDAY EVENING ENTERTAIN
NENTs,
which were so highly pleasing last season,
will probably be continued, improved as to
quality and quantity, and arrangements
are now under way, the result of which will
be duly noticed.
