Public interest in Shanghai had been worked up to the pitch of crowding the Theatre from floor to ceiling, and while fall enjoyment of the performance was neces sarily only possible to natives of the Fatherland, those even who had but a remote knowledge of the poet and the play, could not but be entertained and delighted by the kaleidoscopic stage pictures, the charming choruses, and the excellent orchestral uiusic. Not only had the band of the flagship First Bismarck been brought specially to Shanghai to assist, but it was strengthened by the band of the Austrian cruiser niserin Elizabeth, where bandmaster, Mr, Bl+zeck, alternated with Mr. Stolle of the German vessel in conducting. Under such circumstances the orchestral programme, which included y_von Weber, Rossini (the overture to Wilhelm Tell), Wagner, and Beethoven, was a delight in itself and the audience were not slow to record their appreciation.
The scenes chosen from the first two of Schillers trilogy are little more than introductory to the real drama, and the abrupt fall of the curtain j the moment that the great, but slightly

G. R. Wingrove E. G. Porter was acknowledged. The house was gaily decorated with national flags of Germany.
