Criticism
When Oskar Kalbus states: "In Berlin at that time knew every child the comedian Arnold Rieck from the Thalia Theatre, who has made many a couplet popular. If Arnold Rieck fell in love as a high school teacher with a frock coat, cylinders, umbrella and the embroidered travel bag from his grandfather worked on a film trip to Hellas in a beautiful Greek ( " Lehmann Brautfahrt ", 1916), the audience did not stop laughing.
