Koller, in addition to serving ‘as stage director on the production, also enacted the role of “Enrico,” friend and patron of "Luigi," the character played by Jessel.

Born in Eagland,, Kolker went to America at an early age and was educaled by. the Franciscan Brothers at Quincy, Illinois.” He | abandoned early plans to enról in the priesthood and went on the -stage, becoming one of the out- standing leading men both in America and Britain. He also played in Parla, Rome, Australia, and India
