Ida Buse

Ida Buse ( 1850 - 1903 ) was a child actress and theater actress .

Life

Buse was used in children's roles in Mainz and Bamberg at the age of twelve until she began her career as an actress at the Stadttheater in Würzburg. She was then engaged in Innsbruck, Bamberg, at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg, then joined the Association of the Court Theater in Weimar, where, under Franz von Dingelstedt's direction , she achieved outstanding results in the subject of soubrettes, distinguished herself through diligence, conscientiousness and talent and quickly secured the favor of the public.

On March 12, 1867, Buse came to a guest performance at the Stadttheater in Leipzig, where the young talented girl played both as "Lorle" in the village and town and as "Frinke" in Flotter Bursche , no less than "Rosalie Feldberg", as "Light person" achieved stormy successes. Because of this particularly successful guest performance, the artist was signed for Leipzig in the same year. There she was the darling of the public in both the old and the new house, which the artist was reluctant to give to the State Theater in Prague in 1869. She did not feel at home there from an artistic point of view either and in 1870 accepted an application to the court theater in Stuttgart.

In 1872 she left this sphere of activity and became a member of the court theater in Kassel, where she practiced her art for nine years to the greatest satisfaction of all circles involved. In 1881 she joined the association of the Wiesbaden court theater and it was there that she made the transition to the role of the comic elderly.

She also succeeded in making herself popular in this role and when her director Eugen Staegemann offered her an engagement at the Leipzig City Theater in 1882 , she was happy to take part and gladly returned to the site of her first successes. The people of Leipzig welcomed her with open arms, and just as she had once been as cheerful, smart soubrette, now, as an excellent representative in the field of mothers and the elderly, at every possible opportunity, she has received enthusiastic applause.

On March 12, 1891, in Leipzig, she celebrated the return of the day on which she first stepped onto the stage of this art institute 25 years ago. On her special day, she played “Ulrike” in Affectionate Relatives , and all kinds of honors showed her once again how steadfastly she was still in the audience's favor.

Her further professional life is unknown.

Remarks

↑ The date of death was taken from the index of Georg Witkowski's book Von Menschen und Bü Bücher (p. 498: “Buse, Ida (1850–1903), Actress”). On p. 353 (only mention in the book) it says: [...] Karoline Günther-Bachman [...] at the Leipzig theater since 1834 [...]. Her successor was, in a sense, Ida Buse. She had been celebrated here as a young girl as early as 1867, and her former worshipers had long since sunk in their graves when she was still loved and capable of standing on the boards in the second decade of the new century. [...] A misprint cannot be ruled out.
