Marianne Winkelstern by Truus, Bob & Jan too! Via Flickr: German postcard by Ross Verlag, nr. 4841/1, 1929-1930. Photo: Alex Binder, Berlin. German actress Marianne Winkelstern (1910-1966) became well known as a ballerina in Germany and England. In Germany she appeared in some silent films and early sound films. Maria Anna Martha Winkelstern was born in 1910, in Berlin, Germany. She had two sisters, Eva and Liselotte. Her father, Adolf Winkelstern was the owner of a successful import firm of caviar. He was the official supplier of the German Kaiser. He also owned Hotel Viktoria, a summer hotel in Misdroy auf Wollin. After 1916 business went bad, but Marianne grew up in a sheltered family environment. Her father stimulated her to become a ballet dancer and at five she already followed dance classes by ballerina Evi Peters and also had private dance tuition. As a nine year old she already performed at ballet evenings, organized by her father. In 1926 she was discovered by Eric Charell in the Dayelma-Ballett at the BerlinWintergarten. He engaged her for his Großes Schauspielhaus, where she performed in the operetta Madame Pompadour during the 1926/1927 season. During the next years she was a member of the Schauspielhaus ensemble. She made her film debut opposite Harry Liedtke in 1928 with Der Faschingsprinz/The Carnival Prince (1928, Victor Janson), and also could show her dancing capacities. This debut was soon followed by film appearances in Die Zirkusprinzessin/The Circus Princess (1928, Rudolf Walther-Fein) again with Harry Liedtke, Der weisse Teufel/The White Devil (1929-1930, Alexandre Volkoff) starring Ivan Mozzhukhin, and the short film Die Hochzeit des Faun/ (1929, Peter Paul Brauer) with Max Tapis. At the beginning of the 1930's Marianne Winkelstern took part in the sound films Liebeswalzer (1929-1930, Wilhelm Thiele) starring Lilian Harvey and Willy Fritsch, Nur Du/Only You (1930, Hermann Feiner, Willi Wolff), Die Große Attraktion/The Big Attraction (1931, Max Reichmann) opposite Richard Tauber, Mein Herz sehnt sich nach Liebe/The Clairvoyant (1931, Eugen Thiele) opposite Erno Verebes, and Ein Kuss in der Sommernacht/A Kiss in the Summer Night (1933, Frans Seitz sen.). Her last film was the short musical Kannst Du pfeifen, Johanna?/can You Whistle, Johanna? (1934, Johannes Guter) with Harald Paulsen. Erik Charell invited her to come to London to appear as a ballerina in the musical revue Casanova at the Coliseum. There she met her future husband from the British upper classes, and soon retired. Marianne Winkelstern died of lung cancer in 1966, in London. Sources: Thomas Staedeli (Cyranos), Wikipedia, Filmportal.de, and IMDb.

Изобретение звукового кино оказалось роковым для многих находящихся в эмиграции российских звезд. Так Ивану Мозжухину, который блистал в немых фильмах, пришлось уехать из Берлина, когда там стали снимать только звуковые картины. Однако «Белый дьявол» не сдался. Он переехал в Париж, где сразу же получил привлекательное предложение на съемки в фильме Сержант «Икс» о жизни Иностранного легиона в Африке.

Yakov Protazanov, {1916} Пиковая дама (The Queen Of Spades)

Ivan Mozzhukhin in Feu Mathias Pascal  (Marcel L'Herbier, 1926)

Cast: Ivan Mozzhukhin, Marcelle Pradot, Lois Moran, Marthe Mellot, Pauline Carton, Irma Perrot, Mireille Barsac, Michel Simon, Jean Hervé, Pierre Batcheff, Isaure Douvan. Screenplay: Marcel L'Herbier, based on a novel by Luigi Pirandello. Cinematography: Jimmy Berliet, Fédote Bourgasoff, Paul Guichard, René Guichard, Jean Letort, Nikolas Roudakoff. Art direction: Erik Aaes, Alberto Cavalcanti, Lazare Meerson.

Feu Mathias Pascal takes nearly three hours to demonstrate the truth of Kris Kristofferson's observation that "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." Mathias (Ivan Mozzhukhin) is a studious young man working on a magnum opus, The History of Freedom, while the world around him begins to crumble: His widowed mother is cheated out of her home by an unscrupulous magistrate in their small Italian town. Meanwhile, his shy, homely friend Pomino (Michel Simon) wants him to court Romilde (Marcelle Pradot) on his behalf, but she secretly has a crush on Mathias, who falls in love with and marries her. Because Romilde is under the thumb of her shrewish, demanding mother the marriage quickly sours, and when the two people Mathias loves more than any others, his mother and his infant daughter, die, he decides to leave town. In Monte Carlo, he wins a fortune at roulette, but after deciding to go home he learns that he has been declared dead. Embracing this new opportunity for freedom, he goes incognito to Rome, where he spots the pretty Adrienne and, following her home, takes a room that her father has for rent. There's much ado involving a plot to marry Adrienne (Lois Moran) to the odious Terence (Jean Hervé), and in the course of it Mathias realizes that you can't have your freedom and enjoy it too. It's a fascinating mess of a film, with startling shifts in tone from pathos -- the death of Mathias's mother and child -- to Kafkaesque surrealism -- Mathias's stint as an assistant librarian in a dusty, rat-filled jumble of a library -- to romantic comedy -- his rescue of Adrienne from the clutches of Terence and his fake-spiritualist cohorts. The narrative gets a little elliptical, especially toward the end, when Mathias exposes the corrupt magistrate who cheated his mother. But the Russian actor Mozzhukhin is adept at both the pathos of Mathias's life and the Buster Keaton-like deadpan comedy of much of the film, and he's well-supported by the cast, including Simon in one of his earliest roles as Pomino. Filmed on location in San Gimignano, Monte Carlo, and Rome, the movie provides glimpses of such familiar places as the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and the Forum, strikingly free of traffic and tourists.
