Mathilde Ramm
Mathilde Ramm , married Mathilde Beckmann-Ramm ( May 1, 1856 in Stettin - October 13, 1877 in Berlin ) was a German theater actress .
Life
Mathilde Ramm, the daughter of a Szczecin theater prophet, entered the stage as a child and worked at various provincial theaters in northern Germany, most recently in Potsdam. In 1875 she was engaged at the Residenztheater in Berlin , where she married her colleague Karl Beckmann on July 25, 1877 . However, she fell ill with typhus at an early age and died on October 13, 1877 at the age of only 21.
She was mainly active in the then modern French moral drama, where she played the recurring role of the naive young girl who remains chaste and clueless in the midst of social vice. Her delicate nature, the amazed child's gaze of her large brown eyes, something undeveloped in the tone of the fine voice, the naive ignorance of all theater routine, even an unconscious limitation of her talent made her perfect for these contrasting figures. They believed in their virginal purity and so they believed in the often improbable figure of the modern French Ingénue. But the poetry of her being also proved itself in higher tasks. Emilia Galotti succeeded as if by the way , and all her charm emerged in the Perdita of Shakespeare's winter fairy tale . Her youth immediately enchanted all theater fans in Berlin, without exception, and when she died, her nature and her fate were compared to Goethe's Euphrosyne.
