J* 597. • • BBRLIN • • 3 Fraulein Ella Sarsen, who gave her second con cert in the Klindworth-Scharwenka Saal has de veloped from a “hopeful” into a respectable concert- singer. She possesses a voice that is naturally a good one, but which is somewhat dull-edged in the low and middle registers. The high notes the singer still makes too “open.” If Fraulein Sarsen deserves thanks for placing songs by Franz on her programme, she surprises by the variety of her performances. Fielitz, Grieg, Beethoven, Gerns- heim, Weingartner, Lessmann, Franz, Richard Strauss were represented, on the programme. Professor Friedrich Gernsheim and the violoncellist Marix Loevensohn played together a ’cello sonata, the op. 12 of the former. This is a work which does not show the characteristic qualities of the solo instrument to the best advantage, and it is not altogether free from romantic, especially Brahms, influences. Yet it exhibits the merits of the com poser in the clearness of its structure. * G.M.A.G. Herr Vianna da Motta, who gave a pianoforte recital in the Beethoven Saal; is among the most sympathetic representatives of the pianist’s art. The way to the heights of art he has already left behind him. His technique is excellent, but rather a means to an end. His performances are finely worked out, with nothing that is unsound or un real in them; his feeling for rhythm is unusually keen. All these qualities place Herr Yianna da Motta on the height of artistic maturity. One sees that one has here to do with an artist who, without neglecting small things, keeps his eyes fixed mainly on the grand lines of his art work. G. M. A. G. * Professor Schofield will lecture on Saturday next in the Auditorium Maximum of the Berlin University on The Study and Appreciation of Literature. The lecture is primarily intended for teachers of modern languages, but as the room is very large, ladies and gentlemen who are interested in the subject, without being teachers, are invited to at tend also. No admission fee is charged. * Last Tuesday the Imperial Palace was the scene of an impressive ceremony, viz. the annual De- filiercour for the diplomatic corps and German ladies. Mrs. Tower acted as doyenne, as the pre sent incumbent was unable to attend. It is the duty of the doyenne to present the ladies who are to be introduced to the Emperor and Empress, when they do not file past with their respective Embassy staffs. The general Court rule is that Ambassadresses present ladies of their respective countries, and only when the diplomatic chief is absent or when there is a vacancy in such a posi tion does the doyenne take care of the ladies con cerned. The same principle applies to gentlemen who, as a rule, are presented by the representatives of their respective countries, with whom they file past the Imperial Throne. * Mrs. Tower presented Mrs. Spencer Eddy, the young wife of the First Secretary of the American Embassy; Mrs. Belknap, wife of the newly appointed American naval attache; Mrs. Hadley, wife of Pre sident Hadley, and Mrs. Schofield, wife of Professor Schofield. Ambassador Tower presented Mr. Basil Miles, Third Secretary of the American Embassy; Captain Reginald B. Belknap; Dr. Arthur Twinning Hadley, this year’s Roosevelt Professor, and Pro fessor William Henry Schofield, this year’s exchange- Professor. In her capacity as doyenne Mrs. Tower presented a large number of Russian, Belgian, Greek, Bra silian, Chinese and Spanish ladies, and the following British ladies: Viscountess Cranley, wife of the Second Secretary of the Embassy; Lady Dorothy Onslow, sister to Lord Cranley; Mrs. Kerr-Clark, mother of the Embassy attache; and her daughters, Miss Kerr-Clark and Miss Gwinladys Kerr-Clark; Miss Maitland and Miss Talbot. Among the other ladies presented by Mrs. Tower were Madame Pederneines, wife of Colonel Pederneines, Brazilian military attache in Washington; and Madame Aquero y de Bebancourt, wife of the Cuban Charge d’Affaires. * As Professor and Mrs. Schofield are to leave very shortly for the United States, they were invited by the Emperor and Empress to lunch last Wednesday, the day after their formal presentation at the Im perial court. * From Miihlheim on the Ruhr it is reported that Mr. August Thyssen, one of Germany’s foremost manufacturers, has received a series of letters from London, signed Harry and Willy Kuhne, threaten ing his life if he does not deposit a large sum of money at a designated place. The letters were handed over - to the Miihlheim police, who sent an Inspector to London. This official was ably assisted by the Scotland yard authorities, so that the letter writers were soon discovered to be two labourers, who were formerly employed by Mr. Thyssen. As they both are German subjects they will be extra dited to this country and tried in Miihlheim. GENERAL NEWS. (Continued.) THE JAPANESE QUESTION. The sudden and unusually widespread return of Japanese to their country from the Pacific Coast is explained in New York by the theory that Japan is calling in her reserves. The Japanese refuse to give any Reason for their sudden departure, save that they are acting under orders. A London contemporary reports from San Francisco that according from telegraphic informa tion received from Portland, Ore., two spies, sup posed to be Japanese, were arrested there in the act of examining the main battery of Fort Stephens. NEGRO DYNAMITARDS KILLED. While attempting to blow up a tobacco factory at Clarksonville, Tenn., on Tuesday night, two negroes were shot dead and one wounded by the guard stationed in the factory. THE NATIONAL MERCANTILE MARINE. A representative commercial body, during a meeting held at Washington on Wednesday, passed a resolution favouring early legislation for the pur pose of promoting the expansion of the American merchant fleet. PITTSBURG BANK IN DIFFICULTIES. The Frankfurter Zeitung reports from New York that the Traders’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Pittsburg has ceased payment. IMPROVED FINANCIAL CONDITIONS. Mr. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treasury, states that in consequence of the considerable improve ment in the financial situation, he has commenced to withdraw by small amounts the public monies deposited in the National banks. D. Inhnnrii Sidonien Strasse 10b, fl dilllldl corner Prager Strasse. Tel. 998^. THE TARIFF TREATY WITH GERMANY. President Roosevelt has issued a special message with reference to the German-American tariff treaty in which he proposes an amendment to the original bill dealing with this subject. In it he states that the amendment gives expression to the harmonious relations existing between the parties to the treaty, and represents a measure equally applicable to the importation from all countries. The message further contains a letter written by Secretary of State Root and addressed to Pre sident Roosevelt, in which mention is made that the note sent on May 22 nd 1907 by Mr. Root to the German ambassador, Baron Speck von Stern- burg, provided that the amendment to the tariff agreement be recommended to Congress. The measure was considered by the Senate in a con fidential session; the objections raised to a public debate were that the agreement introduced changes which must emanate from Congress, according to the constitution. Special stress was laid upon the fact that the German Emperor had not only sub mitted the agreement to the Reichstag but had also consulted commercial authorities. Further, it was pointed out that the system mentioned in the agreement relating to the declaration of values had proved to react in a manner detrimental to United States interests. The motion advocating a public discussion was, however, finally carried, and the message referred to a committee of finance. DRESDEN The Royal Court Pharmacy. English and American Dispensary. Prescriptions—Patent medicines—Mineral-waters Schloss Strasse, opposite the Royal castle THE HARWICH BOAT COLLISION. Late on Wednesday evening the passengers and crew of the Great Eastern Ry. Company’s steamer “Amsterdam”, which collided with the British vessel “Axminster” on Wednesday morning, had all been accounted for with the exception of seven pas sengers and five members of the crew, including three stewardesses. The captain of the “Amster dam” believes that these people are on board the missing ship’s-boat, which it is still hoped may be recovered. The sea is calm and the fog continues to lift. Up to noon yesterday no news was received as to the whereabouts of the missing boat belonging to the Harwich steamer “Amsterdam”. According to the latest rumours, the boat contained 28 per sons, 21 of whom were passengers. German French Italian Spanish Swedish operettes for the purpose of disguising the lack of real wit. How; much more charming is that im provised quadrille scene in the Rastelbinder be tween the open-hearted Jew, Wolf Bar Pfeffer- korn, and the young Slav girl, Suza, than the dance in the second act of the Merry Widow, in which the love scene between Danilo and Hanna assumes such a grotesque hide-and-seek character. The role of the Jew in the Rastelbinder is the keystone of its entire success, and elevates this work so happily above the level of the ordinary stencilled operette. Here we are not nauseated with that sickly love- making from which are evolved sentimental duets and songs; good taste is not offended by the piquancy that is borrowed from the French, utilised to season otherwise insipid fare. One could heartily enjoy the mirthful scenes in the Slav village, the poor inhabitants of which earned a miserable liveli hood by peddling onions and manufacturing tin ware (in Austrian: Rastel). The audience was sym pathetic at the engagement of the two young people, Janku and Suza, prior to the latter’s venture out into the world; and yet one could easily under stand the boy who, after having outgrown his adolescence, forgot his little bride in the far off village and contracted an engagement with the daughter of his Viennese master. And since Suza’s memory is equally lax when she is smitten by the smart Corporal Miloseh, the impeding vows of early youth are annulled without difficulty, leaving the respective couples to unite in accordance with the dictates of their hearts. 11( IIUHIU Mean Dentist • College of Dental Surgery Hu II* UnllUUlf* Dresden.

We are far more captivated by the individual types, which are portrayed with great powers of observation, such as the genial Hebrew, Pfefferkorn, the Viennese plumber Gloppler, the Viennese coffee-house poli tician, and the entire smart assembly comprising the guests of the plumber’s little daughter Mizzi. The hearty tone pervading all the scenes made us forget some trifling improbabilities such as two variety stars gaining admittance to the barracks in the disguise of Lancer officers; but the humorous scene which subsequently occurs in the barrack- yard justifies everything. But in spite of the abundance of wit and jollity contained in the piece, Herr Director Rotter, who undertook the stage management with much taste, might with advantage have eliminated certain por tions,—notably in the last act which, from a musical point of view, has been treated very shabbily. It was a real pleasure, however, to hear the plentitude of sweet, natural, healthy melody, by no means lacking in rhythm and humour, after the satiation of artifical harmony which characterises operettes such as the Merry Widow.

Berlitz School Prager Strasse 44, I. Telephone 1055, Bautzner Strasse 27 c, I* The performers themselves left nothing to be desired. Among the great number of artists who took part in the production Herr Lowe, as the Jew, shone brilliantly. Fraulein Anday, as the sweet little plumber’s daughter Mizzi, gives great artistic promise, being gifted with much personal charm and a very beautiful voice, the latter giving un mistakable evidence of careful and excellent cul ture. Herr Oscar Aigner excelled in the role of Janku his refreshing temperament finely animating the part. Herr Siegmund created an admirable type of Viennese citizen, his performance being of an order that one but rarely witnesses. Fraulein Merciola as Suza exhibited many charming traits in her acting, but her voice was not quite in keep ing with the ensemble; it is too sharp and does not possess the requisite resonance. Herr Wernert presents a very sympathetic appearance and has a tenor of excellent quality. Much may be expected of him provided that his acting becomes easier and his voice receives more culture. Among the large number of other performers we may mention Fraulein Gonia and the impersonator of little Suza, a capable artiste who veils her identity under a pseudonym. Herren Alber, Walther, and Stadthagen also deserve praiseworthy mention. Herr Kapellmeister Pittrich conducted the musical part of the performance with his usual ability. M.N. (Continued on page 4.)
