criticism

In spite of the fact that Frühauf only worked as an artist for 6 years, the criticism of the time gave her brilliant testimony to her talent:

"Frühauf was an actress who unfolded such finely detailed characteristics of the comedy on the screen of rare natural grace as only very few actresses in Germany. She is an inspiration through and through and will therefore always have to adhere to truth and poetry Indeed, it bears a great resemblance to Mars - for we may use the greatest standard here - it resembles itself in a certain tendency towards a sentimental tone in comedy, which should not be confused with sentimental manner. ..

Remarks

  1. Eisenberg writes 6 here , but this does not match the year of birth, because accordingly she was eighteen years old in 1828 and 16 years old by 1844. Whether Eisenberg was wrong in the year of birth (possibly 1820) or here (possibly 16 years) cannot be assessed from this point.
