Life

Ferdinand Worms was the son of city secretary Caspar Worms and his wife Carolina Onkelbach.

He began his stage work in 1873 at the Thaliatheater in Düsseldorf . This was followed by engagements on smaller stages until he came to Reval in 1879 , where he worked successfully for three years as an actor and director. From 1883 to 1887 Worms was a member of the Walhalla Operetta Theater in Berlin, then for two years at the Carltheater in Vienna, from 1889 to 1890 in Rotterdam , from 1890 to 1891 in Mannheim , from 1892 to 1893 in Berlin an der Krolloper , from 1894 to 1895 at the Stadttheater Hannover, whereupon he was again committed to the Vienna Carltheater (1895 to 1900), only to be engaged again after a year in Lodz in Berlin ( Friedrich-Wilhelmstädtisches Theater ).

Worms was an experienced actor who tried himself and worked effectively in almost all areas. Supported by an advantageous stage appearance, a powerful, sonorous organ and expressive play, Worms was considered an appreciable acting force. Around 1904 he was a director at the Apollo Theater . At Belle Alliance Theater had he been short nor in the vaudeville -Stück Pick Pocket and played the Shah of Iran. Most recently he was chief inspector at the Breslauer Schauspielhaus. He died at the age of 63 at the Kudowa Heart Spa.
