Lew Arkadievich Krowizki ( Russian Лев Аркадьевич Кровицкий * 27 February 1900 in St. Petersburg ; † 27. December 1961 or 1962 ) was a Soviet theater - and film - actor .

Life and accomplishments

Lev Krowizki was the son of the typesetter Arkadi Filippowitsch Krowizki (1872-1914) and the housewife Elisabeth Arkadjewna Melamed (1878-1917). He attended a private high school in his hometown and then trained as an actor at the Alexandrinsky Theater from 1918 to 1922 . Immediately afterwards he moved to the Academic Great Dramatic Theater "GA Towstonogow" and initially stayed there until 1936. Krowizki was able to perform here in many well-known plays such as Julius Caesar and What you want by William Shakespeare , The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni , Ruy Blas by Victor Hugo , The time will come by Romain Rolland , Le mariage de Figaro by Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais , Разлом by Boris Andrejewitsch Lavrenjow, Die Drei Dickwänste by Yuri Olescha and A Lucrative Post and Girls Without Dowry by Alexander Ostrowski .

At the same time, in 1932 and 1933, he also appeared on stage for the Leningrad Academic Small Opera Theater in Franz Lehár's The Yellow Jacket , Franz von Suppès Boccaccio and The Bells of Corneville by Robert Planquette .

Krowizki excelled in humorous roles and in 1936 moved to the Leningrad Comedy Theater , today's Academic Comedy Theater "NP Akimow" . Two years later he returned to his former place of work, but in 1938 he finally went to the comedy theater. Here further investments followed at known pieces such as Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The School for Scandal , Alexander Suchowo-Kobylin Kretschinskis wedding , Eugène Labiches The lifesaver or The Thanks a burden , Nikolai Fedorovich Pogodin Миссурийский вальс ( Missurijski whale ), Alexander Ostrovsky's Wolves and Sheep , Michail Saltykov-Shchedrin's Pompadour and Pompadourin , Eduardo De Filippo's lies have long legs , George Bernhard Shaw's wife Warren's trade , Yevgeny Schwarz ' Повесть о молодых супругах ( Powest o molodych suprugach ) and Тень ( Ten ). and Ion Luca Caragiales The Lost Love Letter .

Krowizki earned a reputation as a specialist in satirical characters. Although he appeared in the productions of many classical works, his focus was mostly on modern Soviet pieces. Krowizki enjoyed great popularity with the public and critics, and the role of Arthur Jacobs in Yevgeny Petrov's The Island of Peace earned him the respect of the contemporary writer Leonid Nikolayevich Rachmanov.

In the film, however, Krowizki was rarely seen. He made his debut in 1936 in The Representative of the Baltic States , but was just as little mentioned in the credits as in Anton Ivanovich is angry (1941). During the German-Soviet war , he turned in the Tajik ASSR , where among other things Svejk - adaptation Швейк готовится к бою ( Schweik gotowitsja k boju , 1942) was born. With the judge in Alexander Rous The Immortal Kashchai (1945) Krowizki gave his last listed film role. After a film break of more than 10 years, he was seen again in 1961 in the television production Пёстрые рассказы (Pjostrye rasskasy) based on a story by Anton Chekhov .

Krowizki was married to Tatiana Vasilyevna Kurzer, who performed for Lengosestrada . According to various sources, he died on December 25, 1961 or December 1962 and was buried in the Bolsheochinskoye cemetery in Leningrad.
