Josef Allram (actor)
Josef Allram , also Joseph Allram ( 1778 in Straubing - May 31, 1835 in Prague ) was a German theater actor and poet .
Life
As a young man he was hired to Prague, where he made his debut on April 1, 1798. He belonged to the Prague State Theater , with which his name is closely intertwined, until 1834, and during this long time was one of the institute's most valued members. He also tried his hand at being a buffoon poet, but was not particularly lucky because he made the most incredible demands on common sense. It wasn't antics, it was nonsense. In contrast, he had an unusual talent for parodies and had also achieved success in this area.
He was married first to Babette Allram . Her daughter Gabriele Allram also became an actress.
His second wife was Marie Illner (* in Prague), who was also engaged at the Prague State Theater and achieved extraordinary things in the field of soubrettes and local roles. In 1834 she and her husband left the Prague stage at the same time.
Contemporary reception
But because he was so sure of the favor of his audience, he also played all sorts of things. This earned him some bitter rebuke, even if not from the audience, but from the critics, so that a stern reviewer once reported about him somewhat relentlessly: “Mr. A. is happy to play everything. He gives caricatures, pedants and Jews, but all without spirit and variety. "
