In the kaiserin's suite overhead is
the little concert-room, with q seating
capacity of less than fifty persons, in
which the most famous opera singers,
musicians and actors OF the past fifty
years have rehearsed before royal
audiences. Augusta was the most con-
sistent OF princesses in her unwaver-
ing patronage Of the drama and her
Thursday receptions were famous.
They generally began with a comedy,
an Operatta or one act of an opera,
players being without costumes and
occupying a little improvised stage
from which they delivered their lines
very much after the manner OF recitu-

tors and actresses of the German thea
ters, and even those of the Theater
Francois. would occupy the little stage
by invitation, having been brought to
Berlin by special train for that pur-
pose. 1t would be day of delight in
the lite palace when the empress an
nounced that NJ. Faure, the celebrated
singer, the divine Patti, Lucca or
Nilsson would appear. On such &C.

filled to overlooking. No scenery was
used, but at such times costumes were
worn by the performers appropriate
to the play. There was no orchestra.

beer. who never failed to respond to
the empress call and who was for
many years her favorite conductor,
was ample compensation for the lack
OF other instruments than the grand
piano at which the maestro presided.
OF late years the concert room has
been silent. With the old empress

were discontinued. Almost within q
