Hs remained at that bouse for about two years and then became a member of the company at the National Theatre, Berlin, Ger. In 187C he was engaged for leading rolas at tho Stadt Theatre, Letpelg, where Dr. Foers- ter was general stage director. After a season at that house Mr. Conrled managed tho Btadt Theatre, In Bremen, for a short season. In 1878 he was engaged by Adolf Veuendorff, In Berlin, to become general stage dlreotor of the Gormanla Tbeatrs, New York City, and be at once came to America. During the season of 1870-80 Mr. Conrled starred through the United States In German plays. The following season hs was engaged by Mme. Cotrnlly as general dlreotor of the Thalia Theatre, Now York City. Boon after he, in partnership with Karl Hermann, assumed the management of that house, and brought to this coun- try various German stars. Including; Adolf Sonnentbal, Lndwlg liarnay, Jose* • pblne GalLmeyer, Hedwlg Nlemann-Rate, and Frledrlch Mltterwurxer. Later Mr. Conrled was for several seasons the "ar- tistic dlreotor" at the Casino, New York, and this was followed by his organizing tbe Conrled Opera Co., which toured the coun- try under bis management, producing a large repertory of comic operas.

Mr. Conrled'a long experience as a stage director and manager eminently fits blm to fill the position of the Impressarlo of one of the leading, If not really tbe leading, grand opera organizations In the world. His In- timate acquaintance with tbe leading Euro- pean singers, and tbe confidence which they repose In him, gives tbe assurance that tbs high standard to which grand opera has at- tained In this country will be continued under bis able direction, snd now, on tbe are of bla making bla debut before tbe metro- politan public In bis new role, he has naught but sincere wishes for his snicccess, which are tbe more gratifying because tbey are backed by tbe confidence which the public have In the ability of Helnrlcb Conrled. 0 I » — J.
