T-'IK reoricanlzeJ German Dramatic I Society jcave Its second perform ance at the Lyric Theater la-t night In the presence or a representative audl-.-i.ee compose,! largely of German Americans, although there was a .con siderable number of students from the. 1 1 11. School and other local educa tional Institutions present. The piny was a comedy In four acts .ulled 'Our Family," belnn the work or Stlnde and Engles. w.-11-known German playwrights. It was dirtlcult for one who does not know German to under stand, vet the actinic of the cast was of xuch a "superior order that the mere ob server coul.l not but be Interested In the lines and situations as they enact ed them. , , "Our Family" has a well-defined plot r-r no little Interest. The motir or the Plar Is laid on the lines or caste, the torr dealing; with a younc; officer, clon of a noble family, who falls In love with and marries a Rlrl of the ballet, much to the disgust of his mother, who resents what she is pleased to believe a mesalliance. JJoon after his marrlas;e the youns; husband Is called away with his regi ment to help suppress the Boxer out break In China. loiter he Is reported dead, and In the meantime the wife be Mm,i a mother, he mother-in-law of fering? to care ror the child. The young mother proudly reruses to consider this, her Intention being; to ro back on the stage. She Is burdened not only with the child, but with the responsibility or caring; for her old father, who is given to drink and speculation, .the prospect being- gloomy enough. At this Juncture the young officer returns, his death having been falsely reported, and sets everything right. The climax is reached when the offi cer's mother, softened by the return of her son and by the devotion shown by his young wife, relents and accepts her as a worthy daughter-in-law. The play ends happily and everybody leaves well satisfied with the denoue ment. Oscar llahn. leading man and stage manager, displays much ability and is an actor of unusual talent, while Mar gerete Moor, in the leading feminine role, leaves little to be desired. The performance last night greatly pleased the large audience that was present. SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS. Offered to you in our sultroom today. Net waists, new lot lust In rrom J1.R to H.M.
