Glamorous German singer who abandoned the musical stage for films. Via writer Kurt Gänzl- “The 'wunderhübsche' Emmy Wehlen began her career in the musical theatre in Stuttgart, Munich and in Berlin, where she was a member of the company at the Thalia-Theater in 1907-8 (Ihr Sechs-Uhr-Onkel, Doktor Klapperstorch, Das Mitternachtsmädel, Magda in Die Brunnen-Nymphe) before being taken to Britain to tour in the title-rôle in George Edwardes's production of The Merry Widow (1909). She appeared next as the gold-digging Olga in Edwardes's version of The Dollar Princess, in London and in the British provinces, then crossed to America to star in Ivan Caryll's Marriage à la Carte (1910, Rosalie) and as another fairly merry widow, Mrs Guyer, in Ziegfeld's remake of A Trip to Chinatown as A Winsome Widow (1912), ‘singing “Reuben, Reuben” as if it were the latest thing from France’. France? Pretty Miss Weckesser from Mannheim insisted to the eager press that she was Viennese ... "When they say I am Dutch it makes all my Viennese blood boil". I wonder why. Scheduled for the star rôle in Broadway’s The Lilac Domino she dropped out with what was said to be appendicitis, and instead took the rôle of Winifred ('Freddy') in the German musical comedy The Girl on the Film both in London and then in New York, replaced Isobel Elsom as the heroine of After the Girl at the Gaiety Theatre, and then returned to America with the British company which played Tonight's the Night there in 1914. she soon abandoned the musical stage for the silent screen where she became a favourite and much-publicised leading lady between 1915 and 1921. She then vanished from showbusiness annals, as Mrs Richard Averill Parke, wife of a well-off soldier and Olympic bobsleigh champion. She died January 1980 in New York” The items I sell are vintage.
