Sunday They Will Present '.Vaet-
er und Soehne.'
The German Theatre company OF
Milwaukee, will make their annual
visit to New Ulm this week, largely
increased in members and likewise i'm
proved in material.
Thursday night at the Turner Thea
tire they will offer for the first time by
professionals the well known comedy,
sim Weissen Roesseln or The White
Horse Tavern" The play has been
presented here before by local talent
and it will be interesting to all to no
tice the difference in the work.
Sunday night 'Vaeter und Soehne"
or sFathers and Sons will be given.
Of the production the st. Paul Dis
patch says:
Gathers and Sons" is interesting
as giving different types of German
city life. The small merchant class is
represented by Friedrich Rommel,
imperial court butcher-a type COM
mon enough in Germany and in other
European countries, but never occur
ring in this free land. He is dignifed,
lives comfortably, is self-respecting
and respected, entirely satisfied to fol-
low in his fathers footsteps. Adolf
Schumacher was excellent and anus
ing in the role of Rommel Hedwig
Beringer, as the quiet, submissive
wife Of the small merchant, had some
opportunity to show her fine talent.
| The SCARED German student, who
spends his time in. carousing and fight
| ing duels, was we'll sustained by Ru-
dolf Horsky. The German landowner,
fine gentleman, deep in debt, was
also well done by Albert eros. Lud-
wig Kreiss, as Range, the wine mer-
chant, was somewhat of an Americana
German, and Mathilde Dierks was
matronly representative of the mex
perienced young girl. Leona Berger
and Max Agerty did good work in
rather thankless parts.
The same paper in commenting on
Sim Weissen Roessel' has the fol-
lowing:
sThe company is excellent. It is in
deed surprising to find such good
German company in a foreign land.
Leona Bergere, as Josepha Vogel-
huver, is a very clever actress. She
was fresh and natural in the role of
the peasant woman. She enters so
thoroughly into the part, preserving
the identity of the character even in
the minor details, as the postures, etc.,
that she fasciated the audience. Herr
Kreiss, as Zahlkellner Brandmeyer,
which role is one of the most amusing
in the play: was very good. His part
ing from Josepha was a fine bit of act
ing, ludicrous in its great tragedy.
He was perhaps trile too boisterous
in his love-making, but we must not
forget that Leopold and Josepha are
simple peasants and not people of our
world. To Adolph Schumacher, as
Wilhelm Gieseke, fell the responsible
| ity of much of the fun-making, a re-
sponsibility which he we'll sustained.
| Mathilde Dierks was cast as Otilla.
Rudolph Horsky, Albert eros, Anna
Roithmeyer and Max Agerty were sue
cessful in their roles. -
Senator Clapp has made good re-
cord while at Washington, and the
man who goes after the scalp of the
"Black Eagle'' will doubtless find that
he has tackled a bigger job than he
can handle.
| This from the Lamberton Star, one
of the staunchest Dunn papers, sounds
queer, when it is we'll known that the
Dunn people are after the Office Sena-
tor Clapp holds for their great and
good friend, Joel Heatwole. There is
more back Of the success of Bob Dunn
than appears on the surface. He is
undoubtly tied down by more obliga-
tions than he will be able to fill should
he succeed in becoming governor of
the state. In this respecJ there is a
vast difference between Dunn and Col
Inns and the republican party will go
before the people with better grace if
it places at the head of the ticket a
man who is tied to no faction or set of
men.
