David Warfield (28 November 1866 - 27 June 1951) was widely viewed as America’s premiere comedic actor from the early 1900‘s until his retirement in 1922. Born in San Francisco, he made his first stage appearance in 1888 and went to New York City in 1891. After several years of working at different theaters, theater manager David Belasco signed him to a contract. Belasco put Warfield in “The Auctioneer”, which he would play over 1,400 times. Another big hit was “The Music Master”, which he played over 1,000 times from 1904-1907. In one reveiw, the New York Times said Warfield was “tremendously appealing, tender and natural. . .His playing is marked throughout by directness, simplicity, understanding, and the economy of means, which in combination spell the great art of acting." Warfield invested his earnings wisely, especially in real estate with Arthur Loew, and was one of America’s wealthiest actors of that era. He retired in 1922, and turned down numerous lucrative offers to return to the stage.

French postcard by Editions Le Malibran, Paris / Saint-Dié, no. CF 11. Michel Simon and Arletty in Fric-Frac/Break-In (Maurice Lehmann, Claude Autant-Lara (uncredited), 1939).
Swiss actor Michel Simon (1895-1975) was a popular and beloved star of the French cinema and stage. His larger-than-life personality, impeccable comic timing and great repertoire were seen in more than 100 films. He started his film career during the silent period and starred in classic masterpieces by Carl Theodor Dreyer, Jean Vigo, Marcel Carné and Jean Renoir.
Blessed with a combination of charisma, good looks and impressive acting ability, Arletty (1898–1992) portrayed several femme Fatales, vamps, and prostitutes in French films and stage plays of the 1930s and 1940s. Her characters were down-to-earth, earthy, slightly comical female types, usually complex characters with a tough outer shell which concealed an inner vulnerability. She is best remembered as an ethereal and mysterious Garance in Marcel Carné’s Les Enfants du Paradis (1944). When the Second World War ended, Arletty's career was marked with controversy. During the occupation of France, she had fallen in love with a German officer, and after the liberation, she was jailed as a collaborator. Her career would continue after a suspension but never reached the same level as before and during the war.

Austrian actress Helene Thimig (1889-1974) was an important stage performer during the Weimar republic. She came from a renowned acting family: she was the daughter of Hugo Thimig and the sister of Hermann Thimig and Hans Thimig. She fled the Nazis with her later husband, theatre producer/director Max Reinhardt, sought refuge in Hollywood, and appeared in 18 Hollywood films. After the war, she returned to Vienna where she had a prolific stage career but only sporadically appeared in films.
Helene Ottilie Thimig was born in Wien (Vienna) in 1889. She was the daughter of the later Burgtheater director Hugo Thimig and his wife Franziska née. Hummel. Her two brothers Hermann and Hans Thimig also became actors. After the elementary school and the Lyceum Luithlen, she took acting lessons with Hedwig Bleibtreu. In 1907 she had her first appearance in the Stadttheater of Baden as Marthe in Edouard Pailleron's The Mouse. In 1908 she played Melissa in Franz Grillparzer's Sappho at the Goethe Festival in Dusseldorf, then she acted at the Court Theater in Meiningen, and from 1911 to 1917 at the Royal Playhouse in Berlin. In 1917 she received an engagement at the Berlin German Theater, where she debuted as Elsalil in Gerhart Hauptmann's Winter Ballad. From the beginning, a close cooperation and love affair developed between her and Max Reinhardt, director of the theatre. He was married to actress Else Heims and had two sons with her. Thimig was married to director Paul Kalbeck from 1916 to 1918. She made her film debut in the drama Mensch ohne Namen/Man Without a Name (Gustav Ucicky, 1932) starring Werner Krauss. When Reinhardt was ostracized after the Nazis came to power in 1933, Thimig's successful stage career in Berlin also came to an end. She followed Reinhardt to Vienna and performed in the theatre he directed in the Josefstadt. Further performances followed in Prague and at the Salzburg Festival. Thimig followed Reinhardt to various productions in several European countries and after his divorce, they were married in Nevada in May 1935 during a guest appearance in the United States. At the end of October 1937, she finally joined Reinhardt in his American exile. Since she learned the English language slowly, she received for a long time only very small roles in American theatre and film productions. Between 1942 and 1947 she appeared in 18 Hollywood films, in which she represented mostly German women. These included The Gay Sisters (Irving Rapper, 1942) starring Barbara Stanwyck, the pseudo-documentary The Hitler Gang (John Farrow, 1944), The Seventh Cross (Fred Zinnemann, 1944), starring Spencer Tracy, and the Film Noir Cloak and Dagger (Fritz Lang, 1946), starring Gary Cooper. Max Reinhardt died in 1943.
After the end of the Second World War, Helene Thimig returned to Europe. She appeared in a few films, including the Austrian film Der Engel mit der Posaune/The Angel with the Trumpet (Karl Hartl, 1948), In Austria she became a member of the Burgtheater, wherein 1950 she was awarded the honorary title of a Kammerschauspielerin (chamber actress). In 1948 she entered into a third marriage with the Austrian actor Anton Edthofer. Between 1947 and 1951 she staged Hugo von Hofmannsthal's Jedermann at the Salzburg Festival and directed the Viennese Max Reinhardt Seminar from 1948 to 1954. In addition, she took on a teaching position as a professor at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts. In the cinema, however, she received only a few tasks, including a role in the American production Decision Before Dawn (Anatole Litvak, 1951), starring Richard Basehart and Oskar Werner, and the German drama Waldwinter/Winter in the Woods (Wolfgang Liebeneiner, 1956), starring Claus Holm. After leaving the Burgtheater ensemble in 1954, she again took on a firm commitment at the Theater in der Josefstadt. From 1963 to 1968 she again staged Everyman at the Salzburg Festival. At the end of March 1974 she was on stage for the last time in Josefstadt. In November 1974 Helene Thimig-Reinhardt died in her native Vienna of heart failure at the age of 85. She was cremated in the crematorium Feuerhalle Simmering and buried in an honorary dedicated urn. In 2015, the urn was moved to a grave dedicated to the honour of the Neustift cemetery. In 2016, the Helene-Thimig-Weg was named after her in Vienna Liesing. Thimig received prizes and awards, including the Josef-Kainz-Medaille in 1962 and the Ring of Honour of the City of Vienna in 1969.
