pearance in the United States this season
in 81. Louis at the Germania Theater this
evening.
Herr Sonnenthal left Vienna. on a recent
date with just sufficient time 10 enable him
to be in St. Louis on the date set for the
opening of his last American engagement.
and New York will have to wait until the
completion of his stay in the West before
the metropolis gets the opportunity to say
farewell tour, which explanation is hardly
trions.
Mr.. SonnenthaI's advancing years Che is
nearly 20, and his growing Discrimination to
take long Journeys make this a genuine
farewell tour. which explanation is harlly
necessary. considering that neither he nor
mis- American manager, Mr.. Heinrich Con-
ried of the Irving Place Theater. New
York, have ever taken the American pub
lic-or any other. for that matter-unawares
in the matter of announcements.
Mr.. Sonnenthal stopped in New York just
long enough to meet the Irving Place Thea
Ter Company and take the same train with
that organization for ST. Louis. From here
the company goes to Milwaukee, Cincin-
natl. Cleveland and New York. where the
tour ends and Mr.. Sonnenthal bids farewell
to a country in which his great reputation
gained its finest f%ruition. namely, the in
dorsement of his kin beyond the sea-"
In this evenings bill all the leading
plavers of Heinrich Conried's unequaled
irving Place Theater company have promi-
nent parts. All of them are weli-known to
New Workers and not a few of them have
mere than a local reputation in the West.
The play to be presented is Adolf Will
brandt's Die Tochter des Herrn Fabrf-
Gus" with Sonnenthal in the title part
Associated with him are Messrs. Haen-
seller. Buenser. Kupfer and korn

arium of sl,CG1 per night for Mr.. Sonnen-
thai. the price of seats for Sunday even
ing will be s. each on the lower floor.
