but compare the production with
the high priced presentation of the
same play which appeared in this
city last year, and in the compari-
son the Shirley Co. lost nothing.
The production is up to the stan
dard of high priced production.
The play itself is one of those
stories which holds the attention
from start to finish and was made
the more enjoyable by the abso-
lutte lack of uncertainty in any of
the roles. Miss Shirley had an ex-
acting part as Nance Olden. and
her portrayal of the part was as

The Servant Girl In Germany,

HS 0SCvdnI viii III 0STn1dnys
In most German households there Is
no such thing as the strict division of
labor insisted on here. Your cook will
be delighted to make a blouse for you,
and your nurse will turn out in the
dining room, while your chambermaid
will take the child for an airing if you
order it so. They are more human in
their relation to their employers. The
English servant fixes a gulf between
herself and the most democratic mis-
tress. The German brings her intimate
joys and SORROWS to good herrschaft
and expects their sympathy.
When a girl has bad luck and en-
cages with a bad herrschaft she is
worse off than in England because she
is more in the power of her employers
and Of the police than she would BE-
here. She has to have a dienstbuch,
an official book in which her age and
personal appearance are registered. In
this book her employers write her
character. 1t is under the control of
the police and has to be shown to them
when she leaves and when she enters
a situation. It is hardly necessary to
say that when girl does anything
seriously bad and her employers record
it in the book the book gets 'lost."
Then the police interfere and make it
extremely agreeable for the girl
