ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Bi-Monthly, GERMAN AMERICAN ANNALS, is a continuation of the Quarterly, AMERICANA GERMANICA, and will make accessible to a wider public current matter bearing upon the Relations of Germany and America. Each number will contain a series of original contributions, reviews, book notices and lists of new publications, relating to the history of the Germans in America and also to American studies in the general field of Germanics.

The original title AMERICANA GERMANICA will be retained for the series of larger monographs which do not fall within the limits of a periodical, and for reprints. These monographs will be published at such times as they are presented, and will be sold separately, the price varying according to the character of the monograph.

In the Monthly regular attention will be given to reviews and book notices. New publications will be promptly listed and so far as possible reviewed. Contributions, books for review and exchanges are solicited, especially such as come within the scope of the Monthly, and should be sent to the editor, M. D. Learned, Box 10, College Hall, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.

Subscriptions and other business communications should be directed to the business manager, E. M. Fogel, Box 39, College Hall, University of Pennsyl vania, Philadelphia, Pa.

The annual subscription price is three dollars ($3.00) in advance. Members of the German American Historical Society are entitled to the periodical publications issued by the Society. To members of other affiliated societies the Monthly will be sent for two dollars ($2.00), provided not less than a hundred members of such a society subscribe for the journal.

The summer season of 1870 (May 21-October 16) Krüger and Schiller introduced opera and operette along with drama on the Apollo stage under the direction of Carl Schramm as musical conductor. During the course of the summer Donizetti's Regimentstochter was sung once, Offenbach's Verlobung bei der Laterne, and Suppe's Flotte Bursche and Schöne Galathee each twice, Offenbach's Orpheus in der Unterwelt five times, his Schöne Helene fifteen times, and Der Blaubart eighteen times.

During the next five years the Apollo Garten Theater was devoted to a large extent to opera and operette.

The performances he staged were not perfect, but pleased, as is apparent from the word of warning contained in the criticism printed in the Anzeiger des Westens for October 23, 1870, which, after commenting on the excellencies of the performance in question, says: "Nichts ist so verderblich und muss verderblich fürs Theater sein, als Berichte, denen auf der Stirn geschrieben steht, dass sie eben nichts weiter sind, als geschäftsmässige Puffs.
