Benedix, JULIUS RODERICK, a German actor, manager, and play-writer, was born at Leipzig in 1811, and died there September 26, 1873. Of his numerous pieces, the best are his comedies, most of which are favourites in Germany, for their humorous, intricate plot, constant change of incident and scene, and natural, but witty, dialogue. His dramatic works fill 27 vols. (1846-74).
