Ludwig Fulda (1862–1939)

Fulda, Ludwig (föl’dä). A German dramatist; born at Frankfort-on-the-Main, July 15, 1862; died in 1939. One of his first pieces, a comedy in verse, ‘Honest Men,’ was repeatedly put upon the stage. His most successful plays are the two comedies ‘Under Four Eyes’ (1886) and ‘The Wild Chase’ (1888), and the drama of society ‘The Lost Paradise’ (1890). His dramatic tale ‘The Talisman’ (1893), a satire on the divine right of kings, was received with extraordinary favor. Other comedies are ‘Robinson’s Island’; ‘The Blockhead’; ‘The Twin Sister.’
