ACTRESS KILLS HERSELF
IN VIEW OF AUDIENCE
Paula Naumann Of German Stage Of
Tended by Offer Of Bride From
Lovers Father.

BERLIN. April 16.-Rarely has there
been a theatrical sensation such as. was
provided by Paula Nahmann OF the
Royal Theater at Gera last week, when
this most popular actress committed
suicide upon the stage.
She was betrothed to the son Of a
wealthy wooden manufacturer named
Feistkorn. The young couple expected
to be married shortly. but their plans
were interrupted by the fiat refusal Of
the millionaire to consent to his sons
union with any actress.
The elder Feistkorn sent q message
to Fraulein Naumann. asking her to
dismiss her lover and Offering to pay
her $4,000 II she complied with this re-
quest. He added that IL his son mar
ried her he would cut him out OF his
will and stop all allowances.
The actress was so upset by the idea
that her affection could be bought and
sold by a plebeian parvenu that she
committed suicide In the most dramatic
manner she could.
