from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Junge-Swinburne , also known as Karl Swinburne, Karl Junge-Swinburne and Carl Junge-Swinborne (born May 20, 1878 in West Prussia , † June 28, 1950 in Berlin ) was a German actor .

Life

Carl Junge-Swinburne had played on stages in the German provinces since the turn of the century, including the city theaters of Bromberg , Aachen and Magdeburg . When he arrived in Berlin, he only sporadically found permanent employment at stages such as the theater on Behrenstrasse . His best-known leading roles include Fernand in Mamselle Nitouche , Prunelles in Cyprienne , Rambow in Uncle Bräsig , the Duke in The Green Cockatoo and the Prince in Kean .

Instead, he had been a fairly busy minor actor in film since the late 1920s. Junge-Swinburne mostly played important personalities of high rank there; sometimes a general like in Der Alte Fritz , a lord in A Woman Without Meaning , a judge in dangers of love and in My Life for Ireland , a theater director in We dance around the world , the director of a horse show in ... rides for Germany and hotel directors in Two Sky Blue Eyes and The Pious Lie.

In the midst of World War II, film had run out of tasks for the aging artist, and Swinburne returned to the theater boards with small touring stages. Immediately after the war he was seen at the Berlin Residenz Theater , also a guest performance stage.
