...Germans, believe Rehder and Twaddell, are a simple, happy affluent people. They are gemuetlich. They live in small, unnamed towns (each one has one Post--links um die Ecke--two Hotels--of which one is ein gut buergerliches Haus--and a Bahnhof--geradeaus).

Whyatt is upstaged only by his Buttercupesque admirer, the Lady Jane, played with waspish hauteur by Dorothea Schmidt (she is particularly magnificent at the opening of the Second Act, when she is discovered in a glade singing a plaintive lay, and accompanying herself on a double bass). Her singing voice I can only describe as a magnificent and artfully manipulated foghorn...
