| Abstract | Zucker writes that important materials related to dramatic performances in the German language presented in the United States have been disappearing rapidly. Notes that the "best historical writing on the German language theater was done . . . by Professor George C. O. Odell" in his Annals of the New York Stage, which provides "annual summaries of the events on the chief German stages with critical remarks regarding the important performances, listing the dramatis personae and the casts." Dr. Fritz A. H. Leuchs relates the New York German stage and its counterpart in Germany in his The Early German Theatre in New York, 1840-1872. Lists studies on the history of the German stage in America, "omitting the files of newspapers which in the case of every city constitute the most important source." Headings for the listings are as follows: General, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Davenport, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, St. Louis, San Francisco, Toledo. |
