Excerpt from Köpnickerstrasse 120
Very much of the original popularity of this play and much of its present interest lies in its re¿ection\of Berlin middle-class humor, which in the next following years was to receive such delightful literary treatment at the hands of Julius Stinde.1 This humor varies in tone in the different social classes. The young ladies pitch it in a softer key than Friederike and she than Brohse. His humor, too, is caustic, while Seidel's is cynical, and Emilie, that plain spoken and voluble social-struggler of the lower middle class, shows it to us in its fullest development. But in them all its essence remains the same. Itis always dry, sarcastic.
