He quickly Hin ondes gåfva ( The Devil's Gift ), Min Istvan löjtnanten ( My friend, the lieutenant ) and ( If you have no money ) follow När one inte har pengar. With the latter piece of the ice was broken, and with inexhaustible humor he shook now in the course of a few years a lot of comedies from his imagination, some originals, some edits which have been made for the most part with an undivided applause.
