The young Viennese actress Therese Krones was the embodiment of the female lead in Ferdinand Raimund’s play “The Farmer as Millionaire”, in which, according to Ferdinand Raimund’s vision, she was to play the “youth”.
Her artistic career began on her father’s traveling stage.
The ensemble came to Ödenburg in Hungary.
In addition to her acting, the 20-year-old Therese’s main interest was in young, handsome men.
Ferdinand Raimund was entranced by the actress and successfully lobbied for her engagement at the Leopoldstadt Theater.
The young artist delighted her audience and skillfully overcame all the intrigues that were staged against her. The “Krones ” made it as an actress. She loved Ferdinand Raimund, who created a character role for Therese in many of his plays.
The artist earned herself a life of prosperity. One acquaintance turned out to be the mime’s undoing: she met the Polish nobleman Count Severin Jaroszynski at St. Michael’s Church.
He wanted to borrow money from his former mathematics teacher Abbé Johann Konrad Blank , who refused.
The Pole flew into a rage and murdered the teacher, stole his money and threw a party for Therese Krones. The investigating detective took a closer look at the nobleman. At the premiere party , the detectives arrested Mr. von Jaroszynski. He was sentenced to death, given an executioner’s meal and a pastoral session with Therese Krones in the cell. He was then taken to the place of execution near the spinner on the cross. The actress was whistled off the stage as the “playmate of a murderer”.
