[?]Splietfhoff, [?]Blobel & Ulrich. Berlin W15 Joachimsthalerstr 36".

One fate amongst 600,000") [translated from Danish and adapted by Awrum Halbert (under the pseudonym Albert Ganzert)], performed at the Jüdische Kulturtheater in Vienna in 1936; and further articles on MM's performances at the Neues Theater, the Jüdisches Kulturtheater, the Theater der Volkshochschule, the cabaret theatres Literatur am Naschmarkt and Der Regenbogen [all in Vienna]; the Stadttheater in Reichenberg [Liberec] and in Aussig [Ústí nad Labem] and the Deutsches Theater in Mährisch-Ostrau [Ostrava] [all in Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic]. There is also a poor-quality photograph cutting of MM with a caption stating that he had read a work by Schiller for the "Prager deutsche Sendung" [Prague's German-language radio programme], undated but probably from the early 1930s.The album also contains cuttings of publicity material and newspaper reviews relating to MM's work in the exile theatre, Das Laterndl, in London.
