Quote about Centa Bré
“ We recently had a nice premiere at the Schauspielhaus: Count Keyserlink's " Spring Sacrifice "with Centa Bré in the leading role. Do you know the lovely piece? And do you know the Bré? She was always a "nature" in the Goethe sense; now that she has learned a lot, no one else is equal to her except Sorma . "
Note on the quote
Thomas Mann writes Graf Keyserlinks and obviously confuses the philosopher Hermann Graf Keyserling (1880–1946) with the playwright Eduard von Keyserling (1855–1918). Keyserlinks should also be a typo.
