Otto Franz Gensichen (1847–1933)

Gensichen, Otto Franz (gen’siċh-en). A German dramatist; born in Driesen, Feb. 4, 1847; died in 1933. He produced a wide variety of pieces, as ‘Caius Gracchus’ and ‘Danton,’ tragedies; ‘Euphrosyne,’ ‘Phryne,’ and ‘Aspasia,’ spectacular plays; and several one-act “curtain-raisers.” His most brilliant effects were obtained with historical love-stories. He produced a volume of miscellaneous poetry and a historical novel of merit.
