“Madame Methua-Scheller continues her very successful engagement at the Stadt Theatre.  The rage for ‘Hamlet’ is at fever heat.  The Staats Zeitung says of Mad. Scheller:—‘Mad Scheller’s Ophelia is in the whole as well as in detail—intonation, look, movement, gesture, singing, and costume—a perfect model.’ . . . She will take her benefit as Louise Muller, in Schiller’s splendid tragedy, ‘Love and Intrigue,’ one of the finest roles in her repertoire.”
