In 1897 he moved to the Weimar court theater for many years . Already at the turn of the century he had gained such considerable popularity with the interpretation of Viennese types and the presentation of couplets performed in the Austrian and Bavarian dialect that he was summoned to the Wartburg in April 1900 , " around there in the most intimate circle in front of the German Emperor and Grand Duke of Baden to give humorous lectures exclusively in the Viennese dialect .
