German Play

Professor H. K. Schilling has recently returned from a trip to New York, where he has been making arrangements with Mr. Conried regarding the production of the German play, "Iphigenie." It was decided that the play should be given entire without any cutting. The performance would thus take, without music, about two hours and a half, but a portion of Gluck's opera of "Iphigenie" may possibly be given before the play, and short pieces rendered between the acts. Mr. Conried has offered to bring all of the necessary scenery with him, but the committee on arrangements is trying to procure as much of it as possible in Boston. The leading male role will be taken by a distinguished German actor, whom Mr. Conried has obtained for a short engagement this spring.
