Liebelei.
A Play in z Acts, performed with the greatest success all
over the Continent. The part of Christine, a Viennese
milliner-girl, was simultaneously created at Berlin and Vienna
by those celebrated actresses—AGNes Sonma and ADELE
SANpRock, —and has since then been a favourite part of
practically every leading lady on the German stage.
Synopsis:
The room of Fritz Lobheimer in Vienna. He and
ACT I. his friend Theodor Kaiser are just returning from
the country, much refreshed after their outing. But as soon
as Fritz re-enters his room the good effect which the balmy
country air had on him is gone, the old restlessness returns,
and he nervously glances over the letters that have been
awaiting him: among them is one from his father asking him
to spend the Whitsun holidays at his country seat. Theodor
watches his friend and then begins to soundly lecture him.
He must go away for a time to recruit his nerves—yes, by all
means accept his father’s invitation and make an end to this
unfortunate love affair. For Fritz has a love intrigue with a
married woman, and both he and the lady have lately been
living in constant dread lest the husband may be watching
them and find everything out. Theodor has done all he could
to make his friend shake off his infatuation; he has introduced
him to twocharming girls ofthe Viennese middle-class, hoping
by their means to distract his thoughts from the dangerous
subject. And for one of them, Christine Weiring, the daughter
of a musician, Fritz has conceived a genuine affection. The
gentleness and purity of the girl, her sweet and loving dis¬
position, act like balm on his aching heart. And yet he
cannot give up his relations with the other woman. A bell is
heard. Fritz starts, but Theodor reassures him: he has taken
the liberty to invite the two girls to his friend’s rooms; this
must be they. He is not mistaken, the first to come is Mizi
