Materials related to rehearsal and performance, including a published copy (Berlin: Eduard Bloch, n.d.; Eduard Bloch's Dilettanten-Bühne No. 71), which has been annotated as a prompt-book; and 3 handwritten role books, for the following parts: Riezenhagen, Gastwirth; Lotte, seine Nichte; and Zinke, Nachtwächter. (The play has a fourth character, Werther Raschke.) Handwritten musical scores with lyrics related to five songs can be found in folders 653 and 719. In the published copy, which dates from the mid 1860s, music is attributed to A. Conradi ("königl. Musikdirector"). The page listing characters shows the cast for the play in performances at the Wallner-Theater, Berlin. On the role book for Zinke, four names are legible, apparently of actors who played the role in different casts over time; at least two names are recognizable from the casts of other German-language plays performed in Philadelphia in the early 1880s. (The collection's holdings of theater newspapers and playbills contain no reference to this play.)
