Author of the spectacle-pantomime "Das Mirakel", first produced in
England in 1911, filmed twice in 1912, and brought to the Olympia Hall London and Broadway in 1924 as "The Miracle". This was an adaptation of an old legend about a nun and the Virgin Mary. For the 1959 film version of "The Miracle",
dialogue and new characters were added from Spanish writer Zorrilla y
Moral's play "Leyendas", and the pantomime was turned into a standard
Hollywood religious epic.
