Paul Otto (born February 8, 1878 in Berlin as Paul Otto Schlesinger; died November 30, 1943 in Berlin) was a German stage and screen actor, director, screenwriter and producer.
Paul Otto was born in 1878 in Berlin as Paul Otto Schlesinger. Initially, he began a commercial apprenticeship and took acting lessons on the side. He made his stage debut in 1895. After engagements in Halle, Wiesbaden, and Hanover, he came to Berlin in 1906, where he performed on almost all the major stages until his death. From 1910 onwards, Otto also appeared in films, often directed by Max Mack, Alwin Neuß, and Georg Jacoby. Between 1911 and 1920, he also directed films on several occasions. He started at Duskes, where he made such films as Schuldig (1912). Later he also directed films at Oliver-Film. His preferred roles as a film actor were those of gentlemen: officers and diplomats, judges, professors, but he also played unscrupulous seducers. One of his first parts was that of the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin opposite Viggo Larsen as Sherlock Holmes in the 1910 serial Arsène Lupin contra Sherlock Holmes (director unknown). He was Asta Nielsen's partner in Die Filmprimadonna (1913) and Vordertreppe – Hintertreppe (1916), both directed by Urban Gad. Otto played the railway inspector in Lupu Pick's Kammerspiel film Scherben (1921). Opposite Henny Porten he acted in e.g. Inge Larsen (Hans Steinhoff, 1923).
Paul Otto also worked as a screenwriter and producer. In the late 1910s he wrote several scripts for films with Hella Moja. He founded Argus-Film GmbH together with Marcel Boas in June 1918. His most ambitious production was Ernst Lubitsch's adaptation of August Strindberg's Rausch (1919), starring Asta Nielsen. In the film Erdgift (Paul Otto, 1919), starring Grit Hegesa, and which Otto wrote and directed in 1919, he adapted motifs from Frank Wedekind's drama Erdgeist, using expressionist stylistic devices in part. After roles in 96 silent films, he made an effortless transition to sound film. From 1921, Otto only acted in film and stopped his career as scriptwriter and director. He became a popular supporting actor all through the 1920s and also in the early sound era, in the early 1930s, he acted in such films as Thamar, das Kind der Berge (Robert Dinesen, 1924) with Lya de Putti, Frauen, die man oft nicht grüßt (Friedrich Zelnik, 1925) with Lya Mara, Die Frauengasse von Algier ( Wolfgang Hoffmann-Harnisch, 1926) with Maria Jacobini, and in the sound era, e.g. Yorck (Gustav Ucicky, 1931), Rasputin (Adolf Trotz, 1931) , Der Hauptmann von Köpenick (Richard Oswald, 1931), Liebelei (Max Ophüls, 1933).
In 1929, Paul Otto was elected to the board of the newly founded Association of Berlin Stage Artists. After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, Paul Otto turned his attention increasingly to theatre work. He continued to appear in numerous films, but always in supporting roles. His Jewish background remained undiscovered at first. In 1937, he was appointed State Actor by Adolf Hitler on account of his stage work at Heinz Hilpert's Deutsches Theater, which was highly regarded by the National Socialists, and in 1942 he took over the management of the stage department of the Reich Theater Chamber. By chance, Paul Otto's Jewish ancestry was discovered in the fall of 1943. To avoid deportation, he and his wife, actress Charlotte Klinder-Otto, took their own lives. His grave is located in the Wilmersdorf Cemetery in Berlin.

Jeremiah Quick
the hat tips
circus director extraordinaire
painted canvas
brushes the sawdust in the wind
sounds of merriment can be heard within
they come
mortals and ghosts all
snared in the
three rings thrall
blessed by the First Ladies and Gentlemen
the ones who ruled in woodland halls
before men built their terrible walls
that he might
summon all manner
of wild beauties, tame beasts
fauna and flora
for this
the show of shows
and its lord
the dead leave with something akin to a soul
while the living lose their minds fragile hold
for who could
except the dead
dare to the spectacle
of the circus
where a succubus
in a black paper top hat
cocked to the right
always the right
thrills and delights
for just one night

Just a few quick test shots taken one lunch time with my new toy, an Olympus M.Zuiko 9-18mm f4-5.6 lens.
Overall I'm very happy with it, but one dissapointment is the amount of distortion left in the shots even after auto-correction has been applied. It's easy to correct, but still a bit annoying. I mean, what is the point of software auto-correction if it leaves obvious distortion in your photos?
But the advantages of this lens are clear: it weighs a mere 155 grams and in combination with my very small Olympus E-PL3 it makes for just about the smallest and easiest to carry ultra-wide combination you will find anywhere!
The ultra wide-wide end of the zoom range seems to be particularly suited to the Olympus Art Filters. This one is the 'Grainy Film' one.
EDMO heads for Wisdom Way after bringing in MOPO earlier that morning and servicing the power quickly at East Deerfield.
We stumbled into this superb small museum and garden almost by accident on a sparkling afternoon in late May. I think it's one of the best attractions in Paris, and it's covered by the Museum Pass. We only intended to take a quick peek, and ending up spending at least two hours. More pictures of the gardens and the museum complex will follow.
From the Museum Website:
"Certainly one of the most charming museums in Paris, the Museum of Montmartre was founded in 1960. It was built in the seventeenth century as the Bel Air House and is the oldest building in Montmartre. During its heyday, 12 rue Cortot served as a residence and meeting place for many artists including Auguste Renoir, Suzanne Valadon and Émile Bernard, who held their studios here, as well as the fauve artists Emile Othon Friesz and Raoul Dufy.
Just steps from the Place du Tertre, three gardens dedicated to Auguste Renoir surround the Museum of Montmartre. They are named in memory of the impressionist painter who lived on-site between 1875 and 1877, where he painted several masterpieces including the famous le Bal du Moulin de la Galette (“The Moulin de la Galette Ball”), La Balancoire (“The Swing”), and Jardin de la rue Cortot (“Rue Cortot Garden”). The Renoir Gardens offer breathtaking views of the vineyard, the Clos Montmartre, and northern cityscape of Paris.
At the height of artistic creation in Montmartre during the early 20th century, the artist studio situated on rue Cortot served as the site for artists such as the two fauve painters Emile Orthon Friesz and Raoul Dufy, as well as Émile Bernard (Gauguin’s companion), and the writers Léon Bloy and Pierre Reverdy. Suzanne Valadon, famously regarded as one of the first women painters of her generation, initially settled at 12 Cortot in 1898. She later returned in 1912, where she remained until 1926 with her son Maurice Utrillo and her partner André Utter. With respect to Utrillo’s work at the studio, he left behind unforgettable views of Montmartre. After decades of neglect, the studio has been restored and opened in October 2014."

Quickly sketched from the original Vincent Van Gogh painting
which at the time was on display at the Palace of the Legion of Honor
in San Francisco, California (my first visit, together with my late wife)
... It was a rather small painting and this sketch is taken from a sketchbook wherein all the other drawings
are dated 2009, but I'm not sure if this is from 2009 as well although it could well be
