Dancer Grete Wiesenthal as ‘Odem’ in a dance after Bach. 1927. Franz Xaver Setzer :: (Guillaume Gris)
* * * *
Remember
Christina Rossetti 1830 –1894
Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

Благородство - это деликатность человека к человеку. Ясность души, покой ее. Правда уст и поступков. Мужество. Но душа всего этого - деликатность, вытекающая из какого-то глубокого довольства собою, счастья в себе, неоскорбленности. М. Пришвин ................................................................... Photo by Franz Xaver Setzer

Conrad Veidt by Franz Xaver Setzer, circa 1919.
This shoot is often identified as him being in character as Cesare from Caligari, but since the whole shoot took place in Vienna (and it’s doubtful he’d go all the way there just to do a promotional shoot for a tiny-budget movie like Caligari), it’s probably just Connie being Connie. Thanks to @byakkojo for the heads-up!

Marie Gutheil-Schoder (16 February 1874 – 4 October 1935) was an important German soprano.
Born Marie Schoder in Weimar, she married Gustav Gutheil in 1899, with whom she lived until his death in 1914. In 1920, she married the photographer Franz Xaver Setzer.
She debuted in the secondary role of the First Lady at the Weimar Court Opera in The Magic Flute in her native city of Weimar in 1891. Gustav Mahler engaged her for the Vienna State Opera in 1900, where she remained until 1926. She appeared at the Royal Opera House as Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier in 1913. One of her famous roles was her portrayal of a "strange, Nietzschean" Carmen. She was seen in the 1914 Vienna premiere of Richard Strauss's ballet, Josephslegende as Potiphar's Wife. She created Esmeralda in the world premiere of Franz Schmidt's opera Notre Dame in the same year.
Gutheil-Schoder created the fiercely difficult single role of Arnold Schoenberg's monodrama Erwartung in 1924 in Prague; earlier that year, she performed his Pierrot lunaire. Mahler termed her "a musical genius," and she was highly regarded as a musician and singing-actress, although she seemed to be, as one Viennese critic wrote, "the singer without a voice." In her later career, she became a stage director of opera.
She was a well-known pedagogue as well, one of her students being the mezzo-soprano Risë Stevens. She died at the age of 61, in Ilmenau, Germany.
