acqulrec Gerhardt Hauptmann's new
play,for Vienna and for Berlin produs¬
tion. He plans personally to stage here
during the first part of the season
Tweifth Night“ and Shaw'sSt
Joan.“
The latest solution of the widely dis¬
cussed problem of economy for Vienna’s
government-subsidized theaters is that
both the Burgtheater and the Vienna
State Opera will adopt a playing sched¬
ule of four nights a week each. The
Burgtheater will be open on Wednes¬
days, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays:
the Opera, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays,
Saturdays and Sundays. Through this
expedient it is hoped to concentrate
audiences and to avold the necessity
for closing the Burgtheater entlrely—a
step which for a time was considered
seriously.
It is reported here that, except for
the opera singers Alfred Piccaver and
Maria Nemeth, the personnel of the
state theaters has agreed to the pro¬
posed salary cut, which will also be
shared by the directors, Clemens
Krauss, of the Vienna State Opera, and
Anton Wildgans, of the Burgti.##ater.
Two Berlin auccesses of last year
which are now playing here, and which
soon will be presented in New York, are
Fritz von Unruh's Phaea,“ at the
Deutsches Volkstheater, and Karl Zuck¬
mayer's The Captain of Kopenick,“ at
the Burgtheater.
Max Pallenberg soon will open a
guest engagement here at the Raimund
Theater in Fasek's“Schweijk.“
