Life

Together with the singer Lisa Weise he was the first interpreter of the popular marching song Unter Linden von Kollo that year .

He made his film debut in 1910 as the main actor in one of the first Austrian films, the “comical short film” The Evil Mother-in-Law , and in 1914 Hanni came back! Forgive everything! his first film shot in Germany. After that, Sabo was only used sporadically in silent films; it was only in the age of the sound film that the over fifty-year-old became a busy supporting actor. He embodied chauffeurs, conductors, policemen, coachmen, postmen and other rather subordinate characters, which he usually portrayed from the somewhat humorous side.
