Emil Mamelok
Emil Mamelok , also Emil Mamelock , (born September 12, 1882 in Zurich , † May 1954 in Lucerne ) was a Swiss actor .
Life
Mamelok was primarily a theater actor, initially in Zurich, Lucerne and Leipzig. Between 1920 and 1923 he also had an extensive film career in Germany, the most important film of which is probably the two-piece leather stocking made in 1920 for Bela Lugosi , in which he embodied the game killer. After his return to Switzerland in 1933, he mainly worked in Lucerne. In the 1930s, a performance by Professor Unrat at the Zurich Schauspielhaus was renamed “Professor Mannheim”, presumably out of consideration for Mamelok's Jewish denomination. A set adaptation and translation of Eugène Labiches "Die Reise des Herr Perrichon" is known from 1941 . He also devoted himself intensively to directing operas and was its senior director in Lucerne in the 1950s.
