GERMAN AT IiASBROUCK'S S

Last Evening in the Hall.

To produce a German play one must
have an excellent conception of the Ian
guage, that is, of course, providing the
play is produced in German. the more 50
because 1t is q hard enough matter to pro-
duce the same in English, when the fact
is taken into considera ton that two things
must be present in the mind of the in
terpretator at once-aetion and lines,
which is sufficient proof that one or the
other If not both, must come as almost
second nature.
Such a proof was the German piece por-
trsyed last evening by pupils OF Has
brouclz's German classes, IN the hall of
the Institute. Itwas tFrauengestal aus
Sehillers Werken," the Grown of SeII-
ler's Work. and gave vent not on to
the excellent drilling in the fundamental
principles of the German language, with
all its accents, but to the very conception
of the German idea as carried out in the
portrayal. There were eleven characters
in the piece and every one proved himself
or herself an excellent interpreter
The cast included:-Prolog Augusta
Fortman; Die Dichtkunst, Robert A. Nc
Arthur; Bertha Won Bruneck, Gertrude
Wolfe; Ulrich Won Rudenz, Mortimer
Mayer. Jungfrau Won Orleans c. Louise

auspices of Madame de yilaine, instructor
Miss Gertrude Wo1fa furnished fpoi
dental music. 1t was piano solo, brack-
