Live and act

Very little is known about Heyse's life and career. He was a nephew of the famous writer Paul Heyse . Presumably he received his acting training before the turn of the century. At the beginning of the 20th century he was engaged at German provincial theaters , including the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus under the direction of Louise Dumont and the Städtische Bühnen von Leipzig under the directorship of Max Martersteig . Some of the plays in which Heyse appeared at the time include Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening , Henrik Ibsen's Ein Volksfeind and Oscar Wilde's Bunbury and Ein idealer Gatte .

When he arrived in Berlin, Heyse began filming when the Weimar Republic came into being. For the next ten years, up to the end of the silent film era, Emil Heyse was seen in entertainment productions in an abundance of supporting roles - mostly state dignitaries, aristocrats and other people of great respect. He played a police chief in the horror story The Tophar Mummy , Count Walewska in the history strip Countess Walewska , the royal personal physician Dr. Hufeland in Queen Luise , the Marquis d'Argens in another monarch portrait, The old Fritz . But he also played a circus clown in the crime drama Circus of Life and an old servant in the Heimatroman film adaptation of The Hagar's Son . In 1924/25 Heyse stayed in Vienna for theater and film engagements. Emil Heyse's film career ended with the early sound film Der Andere , where he played a police superintendent. Subsequent theater engagements are not to be proven.
