“Last night’s entertainment at the Thalia Theater was a very interesting one. The audience, on account of the storm in the early part of the evening, being rather scanty in number, were very appreciative. Two exceedingly pretty comedies, Am Klavier, by Grandjean, and Wenn Frauen Weinen, by Winterfeld, followed by an operetta, Der Liebestrank, were rendered by the company. The first two are translations from the French plays brought out at the Gymnase, which we have seen here under the names of Le Piano de Berthe and Les Femmes qui pleurent at the Theatre Française. Madame Methua-Schiller [sic], one of the stars on the German stage in this country, as Bertha, was excellent.”
