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.

Hahnensporn returns with Guste, who helps him to repack the trunk and is horrified at finding the cap on the skull. She asks what preparations have been made for the re- ception of the bride, and learns that practically nothing has been done. Edmund naively insists that it is the professor’s express wish that his marriage shall make no change what- ever in his accustomed way of living. Guste gives them a piece of her mind and hurries away to inform the whole town of how these “Turks and Indians expect to treat a bride. Otto and Antonie arrive; but the former almost immediately departs again to go to the casino as usual, leaving his young bride alone. Vocal Solo. In diesen heiligen Nallen - - Hozart Mr. W. L. Davis. Duet. Sommernacht - Ed. Schultz Mrs. A. H. Vaas and Mr. A. Baas. ACT II. It is the next morning. Antonie soliloquizes on her future. She is both indignant and sad. But as she really loves her cousin and feels convinced that his selfish indifference is only due to ignorance, she decides to try to win his heart. Hearing someone come, she withdraws to her room. Edmund comes in to prepare breakfast, soon after him appears the professor. A bell rings in Antonie's room and Edmund informs the professor that his wife desires the servi- ces of a maid. The latter is horrified at this idea, but decides to investigate how these matters were managed by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Antonie comes in. but her advances are hardly noticed by the professor. She inquires after the plans that he has made for their future life and cannot help becoming again in- dignant at her husband's selfish views of women and marriage. The famulus interrupts the scene by serving coffee, prepared always “for a fortnight in advance.” It is so horrid that Antonie cannot touch it and she puts Hahnensporn and Edmund to work and prepares a delightful little breakfast. Otto cannot withstand his wife's grace and cleverness. He so much enjoys this novel way of breakfasting that he actually misses his class and decides to stay at home. Anto- nie now step by step succeeds in arousing his interest in her way of doing things. She even convinces him of the beauty of a wedding-trip and makes him heartily ashamed of having shown so little regard for her comfort. She boldly attacks his folly of wishing to model his life on that of the ancients and proves more than a match for him in refuting and ridiculing his learned arguments. The more she feels that she is gaining ground, the more mischievous she becomes. Both Edmund and the professor must submit to her ton- sorial skill, and finally she calls up Edmund to teach her learned husband how to kiss. But the latter’s jealousy and love intervene. He begs his wife’s pardon, denounces his old philosophers, and makes hurried arrangements for an immediate departure for a “wed- ding-trip.” MUSIC BY PETERSON'S ORCHESTRA.
