FRAU SORMA IN “LIEBELEI.“
Agnes Sorma, the German actress, who appeared
in this country for the first time on Monday in
Ibsen’s "A Doll’s House, gave another Proof of
her versatility last night when she took the part
of Christine, in Schnitzer’s drama,“ Liebelei,“ be¬
fore an audience which filled every part of the
Irving Place Theatre. The play consists of a
series of pietures from Vienna life, in which a
couple of young men with a fondness for flirtation
and two young women, whom they number among
their victims, are the central flgures. One of these
young women is Christine, the daughter of a
venerable musie-teacher. An impromptu dinner in
the home of her friend, Fritz Lobheimer; a meet¬
ing between Christine and Fritz in the humble
house of the musie teacher on the evening before
Fritz fights a duel, the scene when Christine
hears that the man whom she loves has been
killed on account of another woman, and her des¬
peration and flight from home despite the en¬
treaties of her father, gave Frau Sorma oppor¬
tunity to show that she deserved the praise which
preceded her. There is a vein of“ Wiener'’ humor
through the play which was made the most of bi
Miss Braga and Mr. Strobel, and Mr. Link earned
fresh laurels as the philosophical musiclan who
became disconsolate when his theories Decame
practice. Every scene was heartily applauded by
the large audience and Frau Sorma was called
before the curtain several times aftersthe first act,
and again after the final scene.
