ings, May Fl and 49, Manager Fred
w. Johnson has succeeded in securing
the German Milwaukee Theatrical
Company under the direction Of i. c.
Kreiss for these two evenings. These.
artists appeared here last season and
gave such entire satisfaction that a
well filled house may be looked for. A
comedy farce in four acts will be given
here Sunday night, entitled s.Mr.
Foster of Chicago by Blumentha1
and Kadelburg, who are also respon-
sible for the company's last seasons

are favorably remembered here. The
male portion of the company has
| among them several whose excellent
acting has acquired themmany friends.
Among these are Ludwig Kreiss, man
ager and representative, in character
acting and Siegismund Elfeld, hero
| and bonivant.
Two actresses of more than ordinary
talent are Camilla Marbach and Cert
| rude Mueller. The former is an ex-
ceilent representative of heroic parts
and also prominent in comedy. Miss
Mueller is an actress in whom juvenile
parts are in good keeping.
| Emil Marx, character actor and req
lseur, is an artist of extraordinary
talent and has made hit everywhere.
In spite of his youth, Curt Stark has
made himself very popular with the
frequenters Of the German drama, his
chief charm lying in his youthful APP
/. pearance and acting.
In the play which will be produced
here Sunday evening and in which
these actors and actresses will take
part a German feudal lord, Baron Won
Wettingen, who traces his noble an
cestry back to the Crusades, and a
pork packer, Mr.. Thos. Forster of
Chicago are the two escuteheon bear
ers, who are presented in this extremely
amusing comedy-farce The American
pork packer is multi-millionaire.
He has a charming and accomplished
daughter, who becomes acquainted
with baron's son during a sojourn
at a watering place on the continent
Their acquaintance soon ripens into
love and although a most unusual cir
cumstance the baron's goal is not the
American millions. 1t is truly a love
affair.
However, the fathers of the young
couple are a decided contrast. Upon
their first meeting they show their mu-
tual disgust. Both escutcheon-bear-
ers are equally self conscious. The
feudal lord. proud of his noble ances-
tors, turns with horror from the pigs
head escutcheon, and the self made
man from Chicago ridicules in a most
j ludicrous manner the preiudices
OF the nobility add other European
!. follies.

The play proved a big success
wherever it was presented. The baron
and the pork packer are excellent
comedy parts. The controversy be
tween the two old cronies is full OF
humor and excellent wit and the inter
spersed Americanisms produce great
amusement for German-Am
audience.
For Tuesday evening the company
will produce new comedy drama by
the prominent Germon author, AdoH
