Kremer, Theodore

(1871?-1923)

   The playwright was born and died in Cologne, Germany. He acted in Europe before coming to America where he turned to writing melodramas for popular-price theatres. A few were produced in New York; for example, The Fatal Wedding and For Her Children's Sake, both 1902; The Evil That Men Do and Wedded and Parted, both 1903. More important was his fodder for middle American theatre, notably Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl (1906).
