Biography

Hans Jaray suit les cours du Theresianum et de l'Académie de musique et d'arts du spectacle de Vienne. Son premier contrat en tant qu'acteur l'amène au Neue Wiener Bühne de 1925 à 1930 où il joue le repertoire classique, comme Hamlet.

Max Reinhardt, le directeur du Theater in der Josefstadt, l'engage ensuite. Jaray y travaillera jusqu'en 1938. Il écrit une série de pièces de théâtre. Avec son interprétation de Franz Schubert dans le film biographique de Willi Forst, La Vie tendre et pathétique, il acquiert une popularité en Autriche et en Allemagne.

Après l'Anschluss en 1938, il doit aller aux États-Unis en raison de ses origines juives et travaille juqu'en 1948 dans des théâtres de Hollywood et New York. En 1942, il est un des fondateurs de la compagnie des acteurs germanophones émigrés. En 1948, il publie aux États-Unis en anglais puis en Allemagne en allemand un roman One Day Missing/Es fehlt eine Seite (Il manque un jour/une page). En 1990, ses mémoires sortent après sa mort sous le titre Was ich kaum erträumen konnte.

À son retour à Vienne, il rejoint le Volkstheater puis en 1951 le Theater in der Josefstadt où il mettra en scène par la suite. En plus de jouer dans des pièces dans le genre du théâtre de boulevard, Jaray s'investit dans le cinéma. De 1954 à 1964, il enseigne au Max Reinhardt Seminar qu'il dirige brièvement en 1960.

À sa mort, il se fait enterrer au cimetière de Hietzinger à Vienne.

Le jeune compositeur Franz Schubert doit mettre sa guitare en gage pour payer son loyer. Emmy, la fille du prêteur en gage, est si séduite par son allure simple et amicale qu'elle lui fait payer un montant plus élevé que l'instrument. Bientôt les deux jeunes gens se rapprochent. Le chef d'orchestre Antonio Salieri a entendu parler du talent de Schubert, lui fait passer un entretien et l'engage comme professeur assistant. Schubert est ensuite invité à une soirée pour les nouveaux talents organisée par madame Kinsky. Quand le Viennois présente sa symphonie inachevée, au cours de son exécution, il lui vient soudainement à l'esprit plusieurs fins possibles qu'il présente dans sa ferveur immature. Le public se met à rire, Schubert est en colère et quitte la soirée.

Jeanne (Edith Jehanne) is the daughter of Alfred Ney, a French diplomat and political observer. The family is based in Russia during the post-revolutionary civil war. Her father is set up by the scheming Khalibiev, who sells him a list of Bolshevik agents that includes Jeanne's lover, Andreas Labov (Uno Henning). The information is leaked by Alfred's Chinese servant, though Khalibiev isn't implicated. With the revolutionary army about to storm the city, Andreas is forced to execute Jeanne's father. She is horrified, but urges Andreas to run for his life. He warns her that it is she who must run, as the Red Army will soon occupy the town. She escapes with the help of a homely soldier, who's become smitten with her.
