Gustav Adolf Charlé , also Gustav Scharlé , until 1902 Gustav Schacherl ( February 28, 1871 in Vienna - after 1941) was an Austrian actor , singer (tenor), comedian and theater director .

Life

Charlé, son of a cloth manufacturer, was supposed to devote himself to the merchant class, but in 1889 he joined a traveling operetta company in Oberhollabrunn, with which he wandered through half of Lower Austria. From Amstetten he was hired as a lover to Salzburg, where Max Hofpauer saw him and was hired for the Munich ensemble. For the next few years he worked at the Theater in der Josefstadt and at the Friedrich Wilhelmstädtische Theater in Berlin. In 1897 he went to New York, where he a. a. created the “Magician on the Nile” and joined the Brno City Theater Association as a singing comedian in the same year.

Although more of a young comedian in drama and comedy, Charlé was still considered one of the most popular operetta singers in the Austrian province (“Bird Trader”, “Obersteiger”, “Don Cesar” etc.).

His amiable game, his refreshing humor and his lovely singing were widely recognized. However, his favorite subject always remained the folk piece, in which he found appropriate and successful use.

Between 1895 and 1904 he was married to Louise Streitmann , the ex-wife of the actor Karl Streitmann .

From 1920 to 1927 he was seen in several silent films.

Charlé was of Jewish descent but was baptized in 1902. It was last recorded in Lehmann's apartment gazette in 1941. He may have been murdered in Auschwitz in 1942 .
