German postcard by Verlag Hermann Leiser, Berlin, no. 3154. Photo: Richard Oswald-Film. Bernd Aldor playing the violin in the German silent film Der Schloßherr von Hohenstein/The manor of Hohenstein (Richard Oswald, 1917). The woman left on the foreground is Rita Clermont.
Plot: The old father of Count Theodor von Westfried dies and leaves behind a pile of debts, so the young count (Aldor) is forced to sell the lordly family estate. After that, no work is too bad for him to get back up. The count works as a violinist as well as administrator of the landowner Weidner (Lupu Pick). There he finally finds his private happiness, for Margarete Weidner (Rita Clermont) is quite delighted with the chivalrous manners of the young, high-ranked gentleman. NB future director Manfred Noa was responsible for the film's sets.
Bernd Aldor (1881 - 1950) was a star of the German silent cinema in the 1910s and 1920s, often in films by Richard Oswald or Lupu Pick. Sound film and the Nazi regime broke the career of this Jewish actor.
