Curt Goetz understood how to write comedy and how to play the parts to perfection. "Das Haus in Montevideo" is about a very proper school "professor" whose firmly rooted ethics are awfully tempted when his sister, the "black sheep" of the family, sends from her exile in Montevideo an offer for the oldest daughter, which is utterly immoral, thoroughly despicable, yet hard to refuse. The people in the theater still laughed after the lights came back on, and everyone went at least twice to see it.
