  Brecht's liberal use of lyrics written by others was an example of how he could bring in the work of another writer in order to strengthen his own artistic and thematic beliefs. By adapting and combining the work of Kipling, Villon, and Gay, and relying on the music of Weill, the brazen poet created a uniquely Brechtian landscape.
  It was Brecht and Hindemith's separate work that caused the biggest scandal at the festival—not so much because of the music, but because, in this play, Brecht decided to present a gruesome display of airmen who had crashed. They sawed each other's legs off and used a great deal of fake blood, causing one critic to faint during the performance. The famous playwright Gerhard Hauptmann walked out in disgust. Hindemith tried to have the goriest scenes removed, but Brecht refused. The work was ultimately withdrawn.
  The play was a modern-day interpretation of the tale of Joan of Arc. In this telling, the updated Saint Joan, a member of the Black Straw Hats (a version of the Salvation Army), is placed in the brutal stockyards in a mythical Chicago. Joan tries to convince an evil capitalist to be kind to the poor who work in the stockyards. In turn, he tries to convince her that the poor are wicked too—but she insists they are evil because of their poverty. She comes to realize that change is impossible without violence. At the end of the play, Joan dies of starvation.
  After the Reichstag burned in 1933, the Kroll Opera House became the assembly hall of the Nazi government. It was severely damaged during the war and demolished in 1951.
  Weill's passionate correspondence with Erika continued through early 1937. She remained in Germany and he often indicated a desire to bring her to America. This never happened, and things cooled off by 1938. By that time, Caspar Neher was involved in a serious affair with the actress Maria Wimmer. Many of Weill's letters to Erika sympathize with her worries about Caspar's devotion to Wimmer.
