732: 713: 2543:"Magda was much warmer and even nicer, more likeable (than her Fedora). In the third act, nice shades of humour flashed through, but everything was rigidly determined, strong, sophisticated. The whole of her art, it seems to me, is a scale of effects of vocal, passionate, and maddened exclamations; her voice is strong like a bell, without vocal timbre, tenderness and womanly charm. … She must have trained herself with iron diligence and perseverance to become such a brilliant virtuoso. … Although meant to impress in the first place, she cries so naturally, she even uses a handkerchief that I believe she probably cries alone. But I didn't see tears in her eyes... She rages around the scene with two movements she constantly repeats: her hand in her hair (they say copying 1759: 315: 659: 334: 2323: 682: 1319: 991: 69: 1307: 425:"The systematic killing of my talent and my health by the director of the National Theatre, Mr. František Šubert, pushed me to resign immediately. I will explain the details of the behind-the-scenes intrigues and love affairs of which I am the victim to my beloved audience later, when I am of a cooler mind. God knows I hate to say goodbye to an audience that has always treated me so kindly and dearly, and I assure here on my honor that I would serve this national institution until my last breath if it were led by a man who values the sacred purpose of the National Theatre more highly than his appetites." 1095:. Wolter had the right to keep the roles she had already studied (which was most of the classical repertoire). She made herself clear that she would not give up any role to Pospischil when she reached the age of one hundred. But she did not have the exclusive right to be cast in new plays. Director Burckhard, however, could not or did not want to deal with the aging diva and cast her as the young romantic lead. At the same time, he started Sunday afternoon discounted shows for workers, and there was a rumor that, in addition to his social sensibilities, he needed to find dates for a young tragedian. 475: 2342: 2304: 2273: 1379:, who repeatedly expressed his disapproval of her return. His arguments were that Pospischil performed in German theaters in Czech-German cities and thereby undermined Czech culture (especially in the German Theater in Prague). She also gravely insulted him in the press and did not publicly apologize to him. He presented her conciliatory attitude as calculation. He also predicted that her return would endanger the discipline of the ensemble, because the members would know that they could stand up to the director and after some time they would be forgiven and accepted back. 1334: 353: 369: 1631: 826:"Maria Pospischil played the role of Messalina, and what Mrs Wolter owed her, she embodied in an almost ideal way. Wolter didn't represent Venus, the woman into whose arms the intoxicated Marcus stumbles like a blinded moth into the scorching light was missing. In Miss Pospischil's portrayal, the love scenes in particular gained an irresistible magic. The way she, gracefully cast on the colorful leopard skin, sweetly lured the dreamy youth to her, the way she rested wreathed with roses on the snowy cushions of the Venus temple…" 2360: 1535: 701: 2432:"She is one of the few actresses who does not let us think that the role has long been written. She fulfils Grillparzer's commandment to forget technique when doing art, frees the precious property entrusted to her from the dusty layer of routine and plays Maria Stuart as if it had been written for her and for her only. This freshness, which gives every speech and every part of the performance the charm of something new, a confident ability to shape to shape a character, conveys a truly extraordinary impression. 1295: 303: 1661:. She became the first Czech actress with a higher contractual salary than an actor. She also specifically mentioned in the contract that the director would not have a final say in the decision on her role choice - she thereby completely excluded Šubert, as the director of the theatre, from influencing her career. This step, accepted by Růžička, would have destroyed Šubert's influence on the running of the theater without precedent. Šubert, in his published memoir, tried to achieve an objective view: 461: 1825: 1527: 116: 2368: 92: 1778: 2705: 2697: 1802: 2484:“Miss Pospichil switches between brutal scorn and the softest sounds of emotion, but we can only believe there’s roughness in soft Magda, not that there’s softness in the rough one. Both are performed with equal virtuosity, but one seems to hear different instruments being played one after the other with the same skill: no harmony emerges. Miss Pospichil's ability is certainly significant, but after yesterday's performance she seems more of a virtuoso than an artist.“ 2232:, seems to have sufficient dramatic power and beauty to do without any additions or alterations. But modernity wants to invent the perverted whim of an immature girl who would cause disaster. Are the demands of these poets too great and the subject too complicated to be dramatized with honor, or are they speculating on the desire of the general public for spicy and strong drinks, for aphrodisiacs to whip up the weary nerves of our age?

These doomed characters often ended in a tragic death of the main heroine and required luxurious gowns and costumes, which at that time the actresses had to provide at their own expense, often causing them to seek rich patrons to sponsor them as each role demanded another set of expensive costumes, often of various historical styles, ranging from 2717: 1422:"What penance would be great enough to atone for all this guilt? Some are of the opinion that such a thing cannot be atoneed for at all. Only the purifying fire of a miracle is strong enough to eradicate these pro-German feelings deeply rooted under one's skin, but others are of the opinion that Miss Pospischil would be such an effective figure as a national Magdalene that even the most fanatical German-haters would have to forgive her." 2518:"The long, all too long dying is happening before our eyes. And Maria Pospischil dies with an art that gets to your heartstrings. You sit there and want to freeze in horror. I am convinced that many women who were at the theater didn't sleep a wink the entire following night. Maria Pospischil is admirably capable of great tragic tones. This death scene was full of "truth of life" and at the same time of the finest artistic stylization." 1663:"Losing Pospischil was, on the one hand, a loss for the theater, but given the conditions under which the artist was supposed to work and their consequences for the theater, it directly saved the theater: because the inevitable consequences of that ill-advised contract would have completely destroyed the situation inside the troupe in a few months. The effect of that contract on all other members of the theatre without distinction." 1097:“The management of the Imperial and Royal Hofburg Theater, as well as the great actress Charlotte Wolter, who, however, thinks and acts very pettily in "certain" things, is doing everything in their power to spoil the position of this talented and important artist at the Burgtheater. Mrs. Wolter likes to try to "play" Miss Pospischil out of the theater in a similar way she once successfully managed to get rid of Miss 1702:-system in the National Theatre. Therefore, as soon as someone became a star in the National Theatre, they had to either go abroad or voluntarily compromise their demands. The system mainly consisted of not allowing the artist's ego to grow too high. Therefore, once someone excelled in a great role, they could be sure that they would immediately be removed to some secondary role or cast against their type." 1865:"A large number of actresses' contracts have stated that marriage is an immediate reason for termination. … This basically means that at least the smaller stages take into account the sexual attractiveness of their actresses, and that the sexual interest of the men's world is weakened if the actress in question does not necessarily appear to be "free" but is officially claimed by a marriage alliance." 2110:
arrogance. Her management was described as conflict-ridden “belligerent”. Artists complained about strict military conditions (all communication had to be in writing, management did not accept personal meetings). Several artists filed complaints to the court for harassment and disregard for personal freedoms. However, in the trial after hearing the witnesses Pospischil was acquitted of all charges.
1674:"Mr. Šubert welcomed me as the last of the last employees of your theater. And to my explanation that I'd like to introduce myself as a new member of the theater appointed by you, he answered that he does not agree to any reconciliation. I was accepted against his will and that my contract protects me from his persecution and I imposed conditions to which he would never accede." 27: 1101:. However, we believe that this time, despite the strong support of the director Dr. Burckhard, she will not succeed, and we are certain that Miss Pospischil is sensible enough to calmly defy all hostility and intrigue, for at that time Mrs. Wolter was 18 years younger, whereas today, even if she herself does not believe it, she has already become a matron.” 2555:"All the triumph of the exterior, from the great toilets to the volcanic passion of the young lady, fascinated and conquered. The theater audience, which understands primarily only through the external sense organs, must have been captivated by these performances. She is the right actress for them, for all his perception, for all his hungry senses." 1715:, Miss Pospischil represents an excellent will and passion, strong moral and physical figures, a sparkling foam of whimsy and boredom. The strong air of naturalism she exudes in many of the knife-edge scenes where the words sizzle around your lips like saliva is as healthy and fertile for the auditorium as it is for the stage. … So her Magda in 196:, who gifted her a three-story house in the centre of Prague in admiration of her talent (when she sold the house in 1896, it was worth 46,000 guilders - i.e. eight times her annual income in 1896).

This earned Pospischil a dubious reputation. 2522:"A terminally ill woman and wife who dies after a painful death struggle before the eyes of the audience. Marie Pospispil struggled with death in the Berliner Theater in such a nerve-shattering manner that the entire success of the play was called into question and in subsequent performances this brutal death scene was moved behind the scene." 1006:, she eventually gave up the fight with Wolter. "Young" Pospischil got more opportunities only when "old" Wolter was indisposed and sick and the young ambitious actress felt that her potential was not being fully utilized.

She even almost succeeded in creating a real, living woman of flesh and blood on the stage from the literary material provided by the author - almost, but not quite!" 2453:"Miss Pospischil is a heroine; she has mastered a character type. She brings physical means and a natural passion that many colleagues may envy; she is also modern enough to seek simplicity in her delivery, but as a heroine she believes she is obliged to offer a masterpiece of declamation at the right time. 154:.
