Letters Berlin 1921, From Theater-Milieu, Friend V. Hans Schweikart & K H.Martin

You bid two interesting letters from Berlin; one of 1921, the other undated.

Written by one Werner from the theater milieu; addressed to a friend.

Werner is Writer and/or playwright.He mentions that he is dating the actor Hans Schweikart and the director Karlheinz Martin founds a working committee for an "association of actors, writers, and directors for the performance of modern writers." -- Hans Schweikart played, among other things, in the film "Das Haus zum Mond" by Karlheinz Martin (UA Berlin, 28. January 1921). He was also a performer in Karlheinz Martin's stage adaptation of August Strindberg's Nora (Deutsches Theater Berlin, 16. November 1921).

Whether this Werner is an author, actor or director is somewhat uncertain. It speaks for a director or dramaturge that when he reports a job cancellation from Stuttgart, he hears a "2. Dramaturge position" and the "2. director" mentioned. In the other letter, however, he writes: "My production is awakening, I will write a lot more. I feel it, so I don't have to take the last step of despair; it was the last step that should separate me from everything. I'll probably stay in Germany for the time being." So he's probably more of a writer.

The dated letter (Jan. March 1921), with letterhead "The picture and film lecture. Loan of picture lectures on economics and regional studies" (Berlin, Potsdamer Str. 41) comprises two pages,

In the undated letter the beginning is missing; only the last page is left. Here with the letterhead "Theodor Teichgraeber Aktiengesellschaft Berlin S 59."

Theodor Teichgräber AG (board of directors: Fritz Landé and Er. Triepel) was a chemical factory and drugstore and chemical wholesaler in Camphausenstr. 26.
