Secret Footpath Between Two Lovers
July 2, 1892
There are rumors that the villa of Kaiser Franz Joseph has been connected with the villa of Katharina Schratt. When the emperor goes to Katharina Schratt’s early in the morning to eat breakfast with her, police agents guard the path to ensure that curious people do not disturb them. The emperor met the beautiful Katharina Schratt at a theater performance in Vienna. There are also rumors that the emperor’s wife, Elizabeth, approves of the relationship. Katharina Schratt is married to Baron Nikolaus Kiss de Itebe. Katharina Schratt has been a royal actress since 1887. Empress Elisabeth Elizabeth is also supposedly aware of the secret connection between the two villas. (found at: http://project1.caryacademy.org/TurnofCentury/WnGossip.htm)
Uh-oh, I think think they're on to us.
As an actress of the Imperialism era , how do you feel the arts were treated in our era? As it seems some thought the arts were to "radical". I've always loved the theatre, and designing theaters is a favorite of mine. As i designed and built Cincinnati's Music Hall. Im not sure if you've heard of it before, but world known artists have performed in the venue. Thank you for time. I hope to hear from you. - Smauel Hannaford
