Arthur Eggeling
Arthur Paul Adolf Eggeling ( April 8, 1854 in Breslau - March 30, 1920 in Berlin-Pankow ) was a theater actor and director .
Life
Eggeling was an accomplished actor who could look back on a successful theater career. He began his acting career in Posen in 1886, came to Moscow in 1887, Kiel in 1888, Düsseldorf in 1889, and embarked for America in 1890, where he stayed for eight years. He worked mainly in New York, where he earned notable services both as an actor and as a director.
In 1898 he returned to Europe, was a member of the Carltheater for a year and in 1899 followed a call to the Grazer Landestheater, where he made his debut as "Paul Roland" in Mamsell Tourbillon .
In humorous as well as in serious roles he showed his art. He is especially an excellent intriguer. Molièr's figures such as “Tartüffe”, “Stingy” or “conceited sick”, which he knows how to distinguish very characteristically, were described as particularly successful. In the modern comedy, too, he disdains the use of the conventional template and has always proven to be an original artist.
In addition to the characteristic performances already mentioned, the following should be mentioned: “Scharpf” in Attachée , “Udaschkin” in Graf Waldemar , “Mephisto”, “Vansen”, “Engstrand” in Ghosts etc.
