Walter Doerry
Walter Doerry (born June 18, 1880 in Wilhelmshaven ; † October 24, 1963 in Hildesheim ) was a German actor and director of stage and film.
Live and act
The officer's son had attended the conservatory in Frankfurt am Main and began his stage career as an actor in the first years of the 20th century and a little later as a director. His early stages up to the First World War included Graudenz (West Prussia), Lodz (then Tsarist Russia, now Poland), Danzig and Oldenburg. After the war, Doerry took part in several films and also directed a very early sound film experiment (“ The Talking Film ”). In 1923/24 Doerry traveled to West Africa to film a cinema production (“ The Terror of the West Coast ”).
Back in Germany, Walter Doerry returned to the theater and went on stage tour to South America in the second half of the 1920s. There he participated, for example, in the 1927/28 season in Buenos Aires (direction and performance) in the performances of the pieces "Dance of Death", "Hedda Gabler", "The Beaver Fur", "Johannesfeuer", "Frau Warren's Trade", "Meiseken" , "The Spanish Fly" and a few others.
Back in Berlin, Walter Doerry mostly had to be content with duties on obscure miniature stages, such as the Passion Play that spread Christian messages. In Berlin he also appeared as a theater director. In addition, he appeared again sporadically in films. From 1940 to 1944 Doerry went on a Wehrmacht tour, after the end of the Second World War he first worked in Bad Pyrmont and from 1948/49 at the city theater in Hildesheim. In 1953 he retired into private life in this north German city.
