  • [Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee 18, 19, 20 DecemberSomething new and surprising from Prof. Horowitz at the Thalia Theatre. Life that is dream-like! An actual depiction from real life! The sensational trial of Mary Barbery 1895-1896. Dramatic! Tragic catastrophe! Sickness of the soul! Deep illnesses!! are the elements of this new tragedy which goes under the name: "Mary Barbery or The Life of the Soul in a Dream: a tragedy in four acts," adapted from the two year trial of Mary Barbery for the Thalia Theatre by Prof. Horowitz. The entire company will play in this tragedy. All participating actors have witnessed the trial, have studied the characters, and can with their artistic talent bring the true
  • life to their performance. It is indeed an chef-d'oeuvre of all the period pieces of Prof. Horowitz such as Hampstead Strike, The Johnston Flood, Sacrifice in Bad Times, Doctor Herris, Doctor Bukanin. These are the very best achievements of Prof. Horowitz who is the only educated dramaturg who depicts every historical event with artistry and with originality. In this drama, there lies much morality for young ladies and gentlemen, for elder people with children, and much interest for those, in short, for those of every class, age and gender. In attending this classic tragedy at the Thalia Theatre much will be learned, there will be much sympathy felt, much commiserating and much psychic enjoyment to experience such that ten years of study cannot yield. Rush to buy your tickets to these three perfromances. Positively thousands will be turned away! Professors, educated and prominent lawyers and great officers of the criminal law have attended the past three performances.]

The man who seduced her got his just desserts when the razor he used to shave himself and thus make himself appear so beautiful to the ladies he seduced, slit his throat when it fell into the frail hands of a deceived lady who was left in a trance-like state, unknowing...Great professors, doctors, and the learned fought hard to understand this psychological type and the great soul in this sick body with the wisdom of a Russian Jewish lawyer to whom we refer in our drama as Chayim the Sharp, who is associated with the firm Fraynd, Hoyz and Grossman. And others of our co-religionists, sharp minds and honest strugglers for a poor maiden, without recompense, have drawn out the secrets from the case as clearly as oil on water. This lawyer has, through this trial, demonstrated that there are indeed sharp legal minds among our people, capable of understanding the dark secrets of the soul, and after discussions with the many pr
