Clara Drucker
Clara Drucker ( November 12, 1871 in Vienna - after 1923) was an Austrian theater actress and salonnière .
Life
Drucker attended the conservatory as early as 1884, where she was a student of Bernhard Baumeister and Rudolf Tyrolt , and left the institute in 1887 with the gold medal and first prize.
She found her first engagement at the Stadttheater in Mainz, from there to Breslau and from 1888 to 1890 to Königsberg. At this art institute she had the opportunity to mature artistically and to gain critical acclaim. Then she became a member of the Wiesbaden City Theater. In July 1891 she made a guest appearance ("Haubenlerche" and "Franziska") at the Frankfurt City Theater , and since she promised herself further training in her generally recognized talent as a member of the Frankfurt artist staff, she left Wiesbaden before her contract expired and moved to the Frankfurt Theater . During her two-year engagement there she created “Dorina” in Gerolamo Rovetta's play of the same name in February 1892 , on the occasion of the German premiere.
In 1893 Drucker moved to the Lessing Theater in Berlin, where she was hired to replace Lili Petri , who had left for Vienna . She also worked there in the field of naive and youthful character roles. After barely two years of activity, she left the stage, did not take a permanent engagement, but only appeared temporarily in roles such as "Magda", "Francillon", "Sans Gêne", "Cyprienne" etc. as a guest on various German stages.
The German Stage Yearbook lists them for the last time in 1923 as "guest members of the stage" and specifies Polzin in Pomerania as their place of residence .
