Emperor William of Germany shows his belief in the system of na tional theaters by oontributing lavigh- ly toward thelr support. As king of Prussia, William II. is the owner of the Konigliche Schauspiele of which there are six—three in Berlin and one each at Wiesbaden, Cassel and Han- over. The Prussian ministry of the in terior sets aside yearly $825.000 for the royal theaters in Berlin alone which sum is made up to $787.500 out of the privy purse. Even so, how. ever, there is generally an annual de- ficit of above $75,000, and this the emperor makes good ag well. His im- perial majesty takes most interest in the Berlin opera house which ia but a stone's throw from the castle so run in and conduct rehearsals.
