in Old Nuremburg, Germany, the tomb of
Maximilllan, the statue of mozart, beautiful
churches, quaint dwellings, etc. The last few
were scenes taken in an old German garden and
the last picture was that of beautiful arbor in
this old garden which slowly dissolved through
many hues and colors into magnificent picture
of crimson rambler in full bloom. With this

the play were given almost entire, with short
intermissions, and Miss Sage portrayed each
character with wonderful fidelity. One could
not only hear but see the various characters
