"Our Family" by Ger
man Dramatic Society.
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.
