Karl Dane (October 12, 1886 April 14, 1934) was a Danish American comedian and actor mainly of the silent film era. At the peak of his career he was working alongside Rudolph Valentino, John Gilbert, and King Vidor. In 1926 he teamed up with George K. Arthur to form the successful comedy duo Dane & Arthur. At the peak of his career, he was making $1500 a week.

In the 1930s, Dane was forced to quit his film career due to a nervous breakdown and trouble with his heavy accent. Unable to find work in the film industry, he eventually killed himself in 1934. His career decline and death have been recounted as an example of the fate that befell many silent film stars who were unable to make the transition to sound films.

Early life

Dane was born as Rasmus Karl Therkelsen Gottlieb in Turesensgade 23 in central Copenhagen, Denmark to Rasmus Carl Marius Gottlieb and Anne Cathrine Simonsen Gottlieb. He had 3 brothers: Georg Valdemar Johan, Reinald Marius, Viggo Eiler. His parents marriage was apparently stormy; with his father having trouble with alcohol and money management. In 1903 Dane’s parents divorced, leaving him in the custody of his mother. His father was a glove maker by trade but enjoyed the theatre. At the turn of the century he built a toy theatre which people began to pay to see; during which time Dane and his brother Reinald would perform for the crowds. His father also worked as a curtain puller at the local theatre; to which his two sons would accompany him. Dane later said this would inspire him to act.

In 1900, Dane and his brother apprenticed as machinists. It would be a job he’d perform on and off throughout his life. In 1907 he began compulsory military service in the First Artillery Battalion. He would be promoted to Lance Corporal. After being discharged from the military he married dressmaker Carla Dagmar Hagen on September 10, 1910. The marriage produced two children: Ejlert Carl (born 1911), Ingeborg Helene (1912). With the outbreak of World War I Dane was called back to duty. He was eventually promoted to Corporal before being discharged in 1915.

In Denmark, as well as the rest of Europe, employment prospects looked grim. On January 25, 1916 Dane headed for the United States alone. He intended to send for his family later. He boarded the SS Oscar II with $25 in his pocket and speaking no English. The ship arrived in February at Ellis Island. Dane passed immigrant inspection and moved to 345 Court Street in Brooklyn with a friend named Charles Lindgren. The same day he found work in a foundry. Sometime in 1916 he moved to Lincoln, Nebraska where he worked as an auto mechanic. By summer 1917 he returned to New York where he again worked as a mechanic.

Career

Early roles

In late 1917, Dane appeared in his first picture. It was a bit part in a Vitagraph Studios short, filmed in Fort Lee, New Jersey. He made $3 a day (as a mechanic he had been making $3 a week) for his part. However his scenes were cut and the name of this film is not known. Any footage is presumed lost. Dane then appeared in Warner Brothers Anti-German sentiment film, My Four Years in Germany as Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg. This would be the first of many such roles for Dane in his early career. The film was released April 29, 1918 and was a success making $430,000 at the box office (the film had a budget of $50,000).

His next film was Wolves of Kultur which contained ’15 chapters’ (running about 3 hours total). The film was released chapter by chapter between 19181919. He then followed that with the June Mathis penned film, To Hell with the Kaiser, reprising his role as Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg. Before his move to Hollywood Dane completed three more films; all in the Anti-German propaganda style and all released in 1919.

Marriage

In early 1921, Dane met a Swedish immigrant named Helen Benson. He then quit films, and together the pair moved to Van Nuys, California where they opened a chicken farm. They married on June 15, 1921. On August 9, 1923, Helen died in childbirth as did the couple’s baby girl. In December 1923, Dane ran into old friend Charles Hutchison who convinced him to appear in a serial he was then producing.

Stardom

In December 1924, Robert McIntyre (who had first cast Dane back at Vitagraph), the casting director at MGM recommended Dane for a role in King Vidor’s latest project. Dane was cast as Slim in The Big Parade alongside John Gilbert, and Rene Adore. The movie was a major success, becoming the second highest grossing silent film of all time making almost $6.5 million (not adjusted for inflation).

He worked alongside Rudolph Valentino and Vilma Bnky in Son of the Sheik as Ramadan. The film was a success and after Valentino’s death it was re-released several more times well into the late 1930s. After working on Son of the Sheik Dane signed a contract with MGM in June 1926. He began to appear as comic relief in several films including The Scarlet Letter (directed by Victor Sjstrm and starring Lillian Gish), La Bohme (again directed by Vidor, and starring Gish, Gilbert and Adore), and Alias Jimmy Valentine with William Haines and Leila Hyams.

Dane & Arthur

Soon after signing his MGM contract Dane began work on the Vidor film, Bardelys the Magnificent. It was on this film that MGM executive Harry Rapf decided to team Dane with George K. Arthur as a comedic duo. Together they were dubbed Dane & Arthur. In May 1927 the duo’s first film, Rookies opened and was an instant success. By June 1927 MGM signed Dane to a long term contract, making such films as Detectives, Circus Rookies, and The Trail of ’98. In April 1928 Dane broke his shoulder on set. He contracted bronchial pneumonia and was in serious condition. He eventually recovered and went back to work on the duo’s films.

Talkies and decline

Dane & Arthur’s last silent short was Detectives in 1928. On December 23, 1928 their first talkie, Brotherly Love was released. Arthur was a Scotsman who had a distinct but acceptable British accent. Dane had a thick guttural Danish accent; which did not record well and made his English hard to understand. The duo lasted only six more talkies ending with China Bound in 1929.

Five films later, in 1930 Dane lost his contract with MGM. He would later claim this was due to a nervous breakdown on his behalf and he needed a rest. However by December, Paramount offered Dane & Arthur a 23 week ‘Publix Theatre’ vaudeville tour. The pair had made a few shorts for Paramount and RKO as well. The pair ended with the end of the vaudeville tour.

In November 1931, after the tour Dane along with some friends formed a mining corporation named Avelina Mines. The venture failed. By February 1932 Dane had turned back to vaudeville this time as a solo comedic act. It was panned by critics and apparently short lived. In December 1932 Dane’s last film, The Whispering Shadow starring Bela Lugosi was released.

By the summer of 1933 Dane had given up on films and turned desperately to mining. He spent three months driving up and down the West Coast trying to find a good mining deal. However he ended up losing $1,100 in September 1933 and the venture never took off. Deeply depressed and broken down Dane took on several jobs including a mechanic, a waiter, and carpenter. He was unable to hold any of these jobs.

Personal life

Dane was very active during his life. He loved all sports, swimming, horse riding, and bicycling. He loved to play practical jokes; and was a daredevil as a child. Dane was an animal lover, rescuing two of the dogs who needed homes after Trail of ’98. Dane did not participate much in the Hollywood social scene. He enjoyed carpentry and built his own home in Malibu. He had a home in Beverly Hills as well. Dane officially became an American citizen in 1919. At the same, time he also officially legally changed his name to, “Karl Dane.”

Later marriages/relationships

Dane’s first marriage was to Carla Dagmar Hagen. The couple married September 10, 1910 at Saint Paul Church in Copenhagen. Dane’s only living children were born during this union; a son Ejlert Carl, in 1911 and a daughter, Ingeborg Helene in 1912. When Dane immigrated to the US, in 1916, he intended to send for his family later. However by his success, in 1918, Dane had begun to lose touch with his family. Carla no longer wanted to join him, as she was suffering from ill health. The pair separated that year.

In early 1921 Dane met Swedish immigrant Helen Benson. It was then he quit films and moved to Van Nuys. The couple married June 15, 1921. Helen died in childbirth August 9, 1923, as did the couple’s baby girl. Unable to cope with the loss of his wife and daughter Dane rushed into a marriage with telephone operator supervisor Emma Awilda Peabody Sawyer, seven years his senior. The couple married on March 8, 1924, and separated on September 30, 1924. After his success, in May 1926, Emma brought suit against Dane for support. It is not clear if she received it or not.

In June 1928, Dane reportedly fell in love with a Russian dancer, Thais Valdemar. The couple began dating and eventually claimed to be married though they indeed never were (many sources incorrectly state that she was his legal wife). The couple lived together at Dane’s Beverly Hills home, until November 1928, when Valdemar moved out. By December she filed a Breach of Promise suit against Dane for $75,000, but the case was ultimately dropped in early 1929.

Death

By the end of 1933, Dane had purchased a stake in a hot dog stand outside MGM Studios. The business failed, as it was shunned by his former friends. Dane then tried to find work with his former studio as an extra or carpenter but was turned away. He had been seeking a job that would pay $5 a day.

On April 13, Dane was pickpocketed of all the money he had: $18. On April 14, he was supposed to meet with a young woman named Frances Leake, supposedly to see a movie and cheer him up. However, he never showed and Leake became worried. She immediately arrived at his apartment (located at 626 South Burnside Avenue) and with the assistance of the landlady, they were able to open the door. There they found Dane, clad in a shirt, pants and slippers. He was slumped in his chair, with a revolver at his feet. Leake fainted at the scene. When she was revived, Leake found Dane’s final note on a nearby table, next to a scrapbook he had always kept, filled with his old studio contracts and rave reviews. The short note read, “To Frances and all my friends-goodbye.” Dane had committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. He was 47 years old.

No one came forward to claim his body. Police tagged his body with the note, “May have relatives in Denmark. Hold for awhile”. For the next few days authorities attempted to find his family, even placing ads in major Copenhagen newspapers. However, the Gottliebs did not find out about Dane’s death until weeks later. Fellow Danish actor Jean Hersholt stepped forward and insisted MGM pay for a funeral and burial. MGM agreed, and on April 18 a funeral was held open to the public. There were around 50 attendees. Hersholt was a pallbearer, as well as Tom O’Brien. Dane was interred at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, with a modest headstone.

Legacy

Many of Dane’s films still exist today and a few are available on DVD including, Son of the Sheik, The Big Parade, The Whispering Shadow. Bardelys the Magnificent was thought lost but around 30 minutes of the film has been found. Many of the Dane & Arthur shorts still exist but have yet to see a DVD release including, Brotherly Love.

Dane was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to film located at 6140 Hollywood Blvd (located in front of the ‘Henry Fonda Music Box Theater’)

Renewed interest has been shown in Dane’s career, especially in his native Denmark. On October 12, 2006, Danish weekly paper FOKUS published an article on Dane to commemorate what would be his 120th birthday. In February 2007 an issue of the monthly Classic Images (#380) included an article on Dane. In July 2007 biannual publication The Bridge (Volume 30 Number 1 2007), published by the Danish American Heritage Society featured an article on Dane. In December 2007 the Danish Film Festival Kosmorama published an article about Dane in their newsletter.

On January 28, 2008, the Danish Film Institute held a ‘Karl Dane Retrospective’ in Copenhagen, Denmark. A speech was given by Laura Petersen Balogh and featured clips from Dane’s films followed by a screening of one of his features. The event was attended by some of Dane’s descendants. In 2009, a biography about Dane written by Balogh will be released through McFarland & Company

The Immortal Count: The Life and Films of Bela Lugosi $33.98 " Bela Lugosi won immediate fame for his portrayal of the immortal count in the 1931 film Dracula. After a decade of trying vainly to broaden his range and secure parts to challenge his acting abilities, Lugosi resigned himself to a career as the world’s most recognizable vampire. His last years were spent as a forgotten and rather tragic figure. When he died in 1956, Lugosi could not have known that vindication of his talent would come — his face would adorn theaters, his image would appear on greeting cards and postage stamps, his film memorabilia would sell for more than he earned in his entire career, and his Hungarian accent would be instantly recognized by millions of people. Martin Landau’s Oscar-winning role as Lugosi in the 1994 film Ed Wood added an ironic twist to a career that had ended in oblivion. In 1974, devoted Lugosi fan Arthur Lennig published a highly regarded biography of the unsung actor. More than twice the length of the original and completely rewritten, The Immortal Count provides deeper insights into Lugosi’s films and personality. Drawing upon personal interviews, studio memos, shooting scripts, research in Romania and Hungary, and his own recollections, Lennig has written the definitive account of Lugosi’s tragic life.

Robert Florey’s Frankenstein Starring Bela Lugosi $29.84 With the success of Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi, Universal Pictures was quick to capitalize on creating a new Lon Chaney in Bela Lugosi. Chaney had been the original choice to portray a duel role as both Dracula and Professor van Helsing, Dracula’s adversary. Before production could begin Chaney died suddenly leaving Carl Laemmle Jr. without a star.Laemmle Jr. had seen Dracula on the stage in New York City, although he could not recall if he had seen Lugosi or Raymond Huntley in the role of Count Dracula. However Lugosi was performing in the touring company which happened to be in Los Angeles at that time. Was he the new Lon Chaney?Lugosi was not Carl Jr’s first choice for the role. However he eventually won the part and now they needed more ideas for him. "Murders in the Rue Morgue," "Cagliostro," "The Invisible Man" and "Frankenstein" were top on the list.One day in March 1931 Robert Florey, recently returned to Hollywood from Europe, was having lunch at the Musso and Frank Restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard. He was approached by an old acquaintance, Richard Schayer, head of Universal’s story department. Schayer told him that his studio was looking for ideas for a new horror film to star Bela Lugosi and he knew Florey was involved with The Theatre du Grand-Guignol de Paris, (a small theater, in an obscure alley in Paris which specialized in sadistic, shocking, explicit, violent melodramas and became known as the "Theater of Horrors." It opened in 1897 and closed in 1962.)They both agreed on "Frankenstein" being the best choice. Schayer suggested that Florey would stand a better chance at being asigned writer and director if he were to present the idea to Carl Laemmle Jr.We present now the script for"Frankenstein" as it would have been had Bela Lugosi starred; and Rober Florey directed.
