...well as be amused. I rarely go to comedies or musical shows, but I think that "Show Boat," is one of the finest productions I have ever seen. It is the style of entertainment that should be changed, rather than the entertainer, for it is hard to change an actor's conception of their work.

Next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Germanic Museum, Max Montor, well-known German actor, will present before an opening meeting of the German Club part of Goethe's "Faust," the ring episode from Lessing's "Nathan der Weise," and part of some modern German play.

The rest of the cast was equally excellent...
