Adolf Glinger received an acting education in Budapest and subsequently appeared primarily on stages that played Yiddish jargon antics. He made his debut at the Folies Caprices establishment in Budapest. Later he went to Vienna, where he was engaged at the Budapest Orpheum . There he gave appearances with the comedian and singer Risa Bastée , whom he later married.
From 1905 he wrote dozens of antics and jargon pieces together with Otto Taussig, which were successfully performed on stages in Vienna, Budapest, Prague and Bucharest. In addition to Taussig and Louis Taufstein , he was one of the in-house authors of the Budapest Orpheum Society from 1899 to 1916. In the 1920s he was again an in-house author for one of the successor companies to the Budapest, the Rolandbühne , which later renamed itself to Theater der Komiker . Sándor Rott , Armin Berg , Siggi Hofer , Hans Moser and Armin Springer often performed on these stages in his pieces, with Glinger often also playing himself - sometimes in other pieces, such as the legendary Klabrias part , which not only in Vienna over a thousand times was performed.
Anton Kuh described the actor Glinger as "a bull in a china shop, bulky and vulgar, incredibly naive in his inability to hide upsurges of emotions, of an exaggeration that allows one to perceive the sensitivity of a mustang."
