4.9/5 (12405 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The German Drama in English, on the Philadelphia Stage The material for this study was collected before 1905 when the author contributed to the Schiller number of the German American Annals the article "Schiller on the Philadelphia Stage to the Year 1830." Parts of this larger work appeared in the German American Annals in 1912. and subsequently. It is a pleasure to note that others have followed in the same field and have compiled similar material for other cities. The Shakespeare plays are listed for the sake of comparison, and so to a limited extent are the plays of French origin. Moreover the repertoire of the leading Shakespeare actors included a number of German plays. The reason for the general description of theatre conditions in Philadelphia and of the various theatres there is given in the introductory remarks. What may appear as extraneous material is included on account of its general bearing on the subject. Following a general account of the theatre the work is divided into three periods: the first period, from 1749-1774 followed by an interregnum from 1774-1782 during the British occupation; the second period, from 1782-1794, the year of the opening of the first Chestnut Street Theatre: the third period from 1794-1830. On page 158 and other places a concluding chapter is referred to, but was omitted and will appear later in a more elaborate form in connection with a complete list of all plays at all the theatres from 1794-1830. Among the many plays listed as of possible or partial German origin there are no doubt some which others will be able to identify more definitely, especially with the help of the clues given here. A list of errata follows; but one error requires explanation. On pages 52 and 62 it is assumed that in the English version and American stage version of Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm (The Disbanded Officer or the Baroness of Bruchsal), the character of the Frenchman, Ricaut de la Marliniere, is omitted. This is incorrect and misleading. The character is not omitted altogether but is represented by Count Belair with a complete change of character in the English version, and this was still further modified to meet conditions in this country.
