Excerpt from Duquesne Monthly, Vol. 22: October, 1914 The work, finally, having been completed, Weber determined himself to be present at the representation of this his last pro duction. He hoped, by his visit to London, to realize something for his wife and family, for hitherto, on the whole, poverty had been his companion.
