George Engels was born in Hamburg
about half q century ago and did not
make his stage debut until he was &c
years of age. The event occurred at one
of the leading theaters in Berlin, and the
young actor was at once hailed as q worthy
aspirant for fame. His first really great
success, however, came q few years later
in L Arroi,ge's play, CDR. Klaus, which
Is known in tho United States under the
title OF DIR. Clyde" In 1888 L Arronge es-
tablished the celebrated Deutsohe theater,
and I've engaged Engels along with Fried
rich Hasee, Ludwig Barnay, Friedrich
Forester, Siegwald Friodmann, Josef
KaipZ, Hedwig Rave and a number of
other famous actors. With L'Arronge
Engels remained until the formers retire
ment In 1854, since which time he has
starred throughout the German empire
with phenomenal success. by most per
sons he is regarded rs the most popular
actor in any branch of work in the IA
therland.

His treatment is said by the best judges
to be delightfully."- delicate, and grimacing,
and other forms of buffoonery are severely
tabooed by him, as indeed they now are by
all first class artists. The success of this
