| Abstract | The first play is set in German-speaking America. On page 3, Frau Klumpke says, ". . . aber damit Du's weisst, ich werde den neuen Professor, der kuerzlich von Deutschland gekommen ist, einladen, der soll uns helfen, das gute Werk zu Stande zu bringen." On page 3, Professor Egon Klipperich says, "O alte Burschenherrlichkeit, wohin bist du geschwunden -- (seufzt): Da bin ich nun seit drei Wochen in diesem gelobten Lande Amerika. --- Wie man sich doch taeuschen kann. Da hab' ich geglaubt, es wuerde sehr leicht sein, sich hier seinen Lebensunterhalt zu erwerben. hab' mir dies Amerika eigentlich doch ganz anders vorgestellt. . ." |
