Live and act
In the theater and in the film
Born in Vienna, he began his career in 1891 as an actor in Salzburg . In 1892 he followed a call to Pressburg , the following year to Linz and another year later to the Moravian Troppau . After a flying visit to the Bohemian Reichenberg in 1895, Lind was a member of the Brno City Theater ensemble from 1896 to 1899 . After these years in the kuk province, the artist moved to Munich in 1899 to fulfill an obligation at the United Theater there. Above all, one saw him at the Munich theater under the direction of Ignaz Georg Stollberg . He stayed there until 1904.
In those early years, the gaunt Viennese with the bulky nose and the distinctive (and in his later years) white mustache embodied characters in mostly modern pieces. Until the turn of the century he was successful in plays such as The Legacy , The Power of Darkness , The Other Shore and The Red Rooster .
In 1904 Emil Lind went to Berlin and subsequently served the theater operators and directors Otto Brahm , Max Reinhardt , Victor Barnowsky and Heinz Saltenburg as an actor, director and dramaturge. Under Reinhardt's aegis, he also worked for over a decade as an acting teacher at the Deutsches Theater and made guest appearances at stages in Vienna, New York and Düsseldorf.
During his years in Berlin, Emil Lind was also seen in a number of silent films, in which he mostly played supporting roles. Above all his compatriot, Richard Oswald from Vienna , used it several times, but also Robert Wiene , Friedrich Fehér and Friedrich Zelnik . At Fehér's film The Gray House, Lind worked as senior director and artistic advisor. In 1927 he ended his film activity and turned to writing.
As a magazine co-founder
In the 1919/1920 and 1920/1921 seasons, he and Max Epstein published the theater and culture magazine Freie Deutsche Bühne , wrapped in blue cardboard in Berlin . After his retirement, Epstein continued this for a few years under the title Das Blaue Heft .
Union work and forced withdrawal
Lind had been a member of the board of directors of the German Theater Members' Association since 1914 and served this institution from 1927 as editor of its in-house publication Der neue Weg . At the time of his death (1948), Lind was one of three honorary members of the cooperative , along with Albert Bassermann and Eduard von Winterstein .
When the National Socialists seized power in Germany, the 60-year-old Lind returned to his home in Vienna in 1933. He was expelled from the Reich Theater Chamber . Lind was protected from deportation by friends .
