I once wrote a play, unfortunately not
my outs one; since then I have sinned
simil
ttt19 a number of times. Perhaps
the gentle reader may have seen my
name on settle theater programme. If he
then neglected attending the performance,
he made a great mistake, in' nay humble
opinion, and I advise him as a friend to
hake it good at the next opportunity,
particularly as the Gorman stage Juana-
gers, who underrate my merits, very
seldom give one of my works, which has
not prevented my. writing 21 plays, with
62 acts and 732 scenes. To prevent anis,
takes allow the to remark that not• each
of the 21 plays contained 62 acts and 732
scenes, •but altogether they beast that
number. But all this does not belong
I,eshere, and 1 beg pardon for the digression.
If 1 am not mistaken, I mentioned in the
beginning, that I had.written a play. It
was not a fire net tragedy, or a three
act comedy: oh, no, only a modest little
one net piece had flowed from my pen,
and when I saw what I had done—behold
it was • very good. No wouder that I
quickly decided to deprive the world no
longer• at this enjoyment,* nor myself G'_
the laurels of fame. I had the little elite
neatly copied and sent it to a -^theatrical
publisher. At that time I had not the
sad experience of today. I was innocent
enough to think theatrical publishers and
t"ngcnts read the effusions of unknown
leauthors; therefore I was not a little sur-
prised to have my play returned to me
.after about four weeks, with n polite
:printed letter, in which the publisher in-
formed the that he hail no use for the
pity. The .first day I was very much de-
pressed, the second annoyed; finally, on
the third day, I came to the conclusion
that "that ass of a publisher" knew noth-
ing about it, packed up my play again
and sent it'to another.
The salve result, with the difference
:that the second publisher sent back the
MS. not prepaid, se I called him a
"blockhead," who knew less than the
First. and sent it oli!'to a third.
But this one also seat it back—this
time registered and not prepaid. I laid
it aside in silent resignation.
Some time after chance took me to a
large town and another chance led teeny
acquaintance with a manager of a that -
ter, who by chane° was staying there.
As a matter of course I did not negleet
this eotnbination of lucky chances. I
gave him my little play, which I, by
another chain°, had by rue, and he prom-
ised me to read it as soon as possible.
He kept his word sooner than I ex-
peeted, for the next day he wrote me he
' was delighted with tate play and would
bring it out with pleasure, if I would not
require a royalty. Inclosed was a for•
naula for a postotliee money order for 18
marks 5 pfennigs, made out to the man -
eget'. the price of 12 tickets.
How shabby! I would not insist upon
the royalty, What did that matter? I
would also take the 12 tickets—one must
