    Ernst Rolf and Karl Gerhard competed with
    each other for revue audiences in the 1920s,
    but in 1928 they performed together in a
    jubilee duet, in which they ironically praised
    each other. The sketch was performed in
    Rolf’s jubilee revue.
    Artist Annie Bergman had a broad
    repertoire. As well as painting landscapes
    and figure motifs, often from Italy, she
    created theatre caricatures. Bergman also
    wrote children’s books.
