German singer, actor and writer Richard Senius (1875-1947) often appeared in films directed by William Karfiol. He became much in demand in the silent cinema of the 1910s. He was known for such films as Donna Lucia (1918), Primanerliebe (1918) and Frauchen in Nöten (1918). His film career came to an end at the beginning of the 1920s. In 1933, he made a short comeback in the sound film Ganovenehre (1933).

 

The play 'Husarenfieber' was written by Gustav Kadelburg and Richard Skowronnek in 1906. Kadelburg is well known for his plays 'Im weißen Rößl' (The White Horse In, 1896) and 'Familie Schimek' (The Schimeck Family, 1915) which both were filmed several times. 'Husarenfieber' was also adapted to the screen, Husarenfieber/Hussar Fever (Georg Jacoby, 1925).

 

The Berlin publishing company Verlag Hermann Leiser originated from the Verlag Louis Blumenthal and was active from about 1909 until the end of the 1920s. Verlag Louis Blumenthal existed before, and probably published postcards since ca. 1902. It published postcards of artists, opera singers, actors, and musicians. The cards were in the beginning unnumbered and later numbered with four digits. Early Blumenthal cards bear no sign of a publisher or are only marked on the back of the card.
