Farce, 'Flachsmann ~ Educator"
The only subject that the dramatists
.s,,s,ly And in the wal between the North
I'd the South is again illustrated in a one
-, NAV at Proctor's Theatre in Fifty
.Isb,h street. A Capulet-M onta que love
.,orv of a Northern soldier and n Southern
..hI Is still available material. but the time
,,ust have arrived for something different,
.Tbe Master of Carleton Hall" makes n
r,,la variation by looking at tho theme from
new point OF view, from that OF n child
~ tine fghting houses Alexander Hume
rord has made the central character in his
eaion a little boy, the master OF Carleton
U,n. acted rather cleverly by Webb Raum,
r-andson OF Gen. Green B. Raum. and a
r,,her clover actor. The scene Is a room
n Carleton Hall, a Shenandoah Valley
mansion, nearly ruined by Union troops.
A fierce battle seems TO be raging under
The window. The place has belonged to q
Northerner with q Southern wife. He has
toned his own people In the war and she
has died Of a broken heart. Thus their
little son is the master OF Carleton Hall and
PROTECTOR Of his baby sister. Mr.. Ford's
il drama of a situation rather h an
Incident. The condition being revealed
At the rise Of the curtain. nothing il left to
All In the time till it's fall but talk. So the
lad and two old negro servants discuss
the merits OF the Rebellion and the question
ube,ber the old master was right or wrong
In Joining the invaders. The warfare I'M
der the window interrupted this CONVERSE
ton repeatedly, and three or four times the
old negro NANNY took up a gun to fire at
yankee in the back yard. The male slave
noipts out TO her that the man she would
shoot is her owner, which only makes her
more desirous 10 kill him. Finally he rushed
into the room and joins the discussion
Of the propriety Of his conduct. On the
pish, before he had brown hair, but the
stress of attacking his home has turned IL
white. Father, you were right!' he
cries, drapine himself in a Stars and Stripes;
my fathers flag Is my fag!' Picture,
curtain.
Two things were positive in the new
German farce at the Irving Place last
evening, that it was a sure laughing SUCCESS
and that il would have no chance in Eng
Nsh. ~-Flachsmann as Educator was a
thoroughly German play and delighted a
German audience, as IL had many during
the past year in its native country and
Austria. Otto Ernest had taken a simple
and everyday subject to Illustrate, the
life at a boys boarding school. Many
German plays on this subject, but few In
English, have succeeded. though Robert
sons adaptation, which he called School,
Is a conspicuous exception. In 'Flaohs-
mann az Educator" the teachers were
principally dealt with.
The educator Of the title somewhat re-
sembled Dickens's Pecksnif. He and a
companion in pompous ignorance. who
has power enough over him TO demand
the position Of principal teacher, are the
heads Of n provincial school. Among the
teachers is an honest. educated young
man, who indiscreetly kisses a pretty
Towering him, the head masters have a
school inspector discharge him. But a
more important school Inspector looks
more thoroughly into the case and re-
moves the Pecksnif and his friend from
head positions, putting the loveion teacher
ending that the coming marriage Of the
lovers creates.
Mr.. Ernest had written this play with
much verbal clevernese. which was as
important in its success as tie comic com
plicatons Of plot. The Conred actor
wig Won Ostermann and Adolph thinner
mann were attractive as the young lovers,
and the more groteeque parts were well
played by Meta buenger. FRANZ k~ierschner,
DITTO Ottbert and Mr.. Reimann. Irving
Place audiences will probably demand
many repetitions Of 'Fiashsmann as Edu-
Gator.
