Ewald Bach
Ewald Bach (born December 30, 1871 in Elberfeld , † April 16 or 17, 1920 in Bonn ) was a German theater and silent film actor .
Life
Bach, the son of a businessman, first worked in a shop in Düsseldorf. There he saw Meininger for the first time, whose art inspired him so much that he made the decision to become an actor.
After doing speaking exercises and studying some roles, he took lessons from the actor Alfred Einicke (at that time the first hero and bon vivant at the Düsseldorf city theater). Bach found his first engagement in Ulm, then came to Stettin, Halle and was engaged at the newly opened Schiller Theater, where he appeared as "Kosinsky" and had many successes with this role as with that of "Menonit".
In 1894 he went to America, where he stayed for seven years, most recently at the combined Milwaukee-Chicago theaters, until he joined the Association of the Wiesbaden Court Theater in 1901.
Little is known about his life after 1902. In 1918 and 1919 he appeared in two silent films . Bach, who was married to his colleague Elvira Clemens , died in 1920 after a long and serious illness.
