(THEATER).

1838.

“Die Liebe im Eckhause” by Alexander Cosmar. Theatrical Play-Bill. Single leaf printed on silk. A fund-raising performance at the “Hochfuerstliches Schlosstheater in Teplitz,” for the benefit of the “Badehospital fuer in und auslaendische arme kranke Israeliten” (Jewish Spa Hospital).

The program also notes musical entertainment including the overture from the opera “Fra Diavolo,” a piano piece by the 13-year old pianist Marie Bousifet, as well as an aria performed by the 13-year-old Moritz Katz. The Jewish hospital in this spa-town near Prague, was founded in 1836 by one Naftali Katz. It is noted on this play-bill as being “most popular… although completely underf unded.”
