PROGRAMME. Germanistische Gesellschaft. Assembly Mall, TUESDAY, MAY 5th, 1903. DIE H0CHZE1TSREISE. Comedy in two acts by Roderich Benedix. Otto Lambert, professor in a german gymnasium, - R. G. Disque Antonie, his bride, - Miss Fola La Follette Edmund, his “famulus,” - Ben S. Hale Hahnensporn, a man-servant, - - M. J. Knoblock Guste, a chambermaid. - Miss Josephine Hanson ACT I. Edmund is memorizing to-morrow’s lesson. Hahnensporn carries in a trunk belonging to the bride. The wedding has been in the morning and the young couple is expected to arrive soon. Hahnensporn is angry, for he anticipates troubles of all kinds as soon as the hated petticoat-rule will commence. He cannot understand how the professor, who never even looked at a woman, could so suddenly marry his cousin whom he had not seen for four years. Edmund informs him that it was the express wish of the professor’s uncle who left his fortune to his niece and nephew on condition that they should marry. They discover that the trunk is not properly closed and begin to unpack it. They are unable, however, to put the things back properly and Hahnensporn goes to get the assis- tance of Guste, a chamber-maid of the floor below. Edmund amuses himself by trying one of Antonie’s morning-caps on. a skull in the professor’s book case.
