Biographie

Welcker was born in Dresden. Her father, who was editor-in-chief and general manager of the "Posener Tageblatt", died in 1909. She visited Max Reinhardt's acting school in Berlin during the First World War. During 1915–16 she starred in Albert theater in Dresden. From 1916 to 1919 she performed in the Reinhardt theaters (Deutsches Theater Berlin, Kammerspiele, and Volksbühne). There she was seen as a prostitute in August Strindberg's Meister Olaf in a production of Ferdinand Gregori, as Lesbia in Felix Hollaender's staging of Friedrich Hebbel's Gyges und sein Ring, as Recha in Ephraim Lessing's Nathan the Wise and as sister Martha in Gerhart Hauptmann's Hanneles Himmelfahrt. In addition to these, she played under Marion Reinhardt's direction of Georg Büchner's Danton's Death, a maid Sophie in Friedrich Schiller's Kabale und Liebe and Desdemona in William Shakespeare's Othello and Jessica in The Merchant of Venice.

1917 Gertrude Welcker began her film acting career. Her first role was of an angel in the film Hans Trutz im Schlaraffenland directed by her stage partner Paul Wegener. Her most famous roles include Gesine von Orlamünde in Zur Chronik von Grieshuus, Countess Dusy Told, wife of a millionaire in Fritz Lang-directed Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (1922) in which the title character abducts and abuses her. Other major productions in which Welcker participated were Richard Oswald's Lady Hamilton and Carl Froelich's Luise Miller (after Schiller's Kabale und Liebe). In low-budget productions like Die Geisha und der Samurai and Eine Frau mit Vergangenheit she played the lead role. She starred opposite Albert Bassermann in four films. She played the character of Queen Margaret in the controversial film The Women House of Brescia. The film was rejected by the British Board of Film Classification on grounds that it depicted prostitution.

During her mid-20s Welcker ended her career as a film actress and in 1930 retired from the stage as well. In July 1930 she married Swedish painter Otto Gustaf Carlsund (1897–1948), whom she had met during a visit to Paris. They divorced in August 1937. Before the outbreak of World War II she had a brief career as an editor at the Universum Film AG. In 1941 she became active for the Red Cross. Shortly before the war, Gertrude Welcker managed to escape to Sweden, where she spent the rest of her life as Gertrud Carlsund. She died in Danderyd, Stockholm on 1 August 1988. Her estate was rediscovered in 2005.

Le film s'ouvre sur une opération de spéculation boursière magistralement orchestrée par le docteur Mabuse (1 séquence). On retrouve ensuite le docteur Mabuse sous son identité officielle donnant une conférence sur la psychologie (2e séquence) puis le film relate ses exactions et les efforts du procureur von Wenck pour y mettre un terme. Le titre de joueur est lié à un lieu central de l'action, un cercle de jeu clandestin où le docteur Mabuse croise une bourgeoisie désœuvrée et exerce ses pouvoirs d'hypnose et de suggestion. C'est notamment là qu'il rencontre le comte Told et que, épris de la comtesse, il va s'acharner à précipiter sa déchéance.

Rôle Queen Margaret

In 1311 the coronation of King Henry of the Lombards takes place. After becoming the king he wages war against Italy and Brescia (ruled by Francesco de Barbiano). While campaigning, he sends for his queen, Margaret (Gertrude Welcker), who along with her ladies-in-waiting is captured and imprisoned by Barbiano. Barbiano orders the women to be sent to the House of Pillory. One of her maids, Roswitha (Hedda Vernon), impersonates the queen and asks him to leave the other women safe and capture only her. As a result, she is brought to the house of pillory where people hold a mock coronation with a crown of straw to humiliate her. She is forced into prostitution. Two captured men, Gottwald (the queen's escort) and Herbolo (Roswitha's fiance), flee from the house and inform Henry of the event. He is agitated after hearing all the information and vows to attack Brescia in vengeance. Meanwhile in Brescia, Roswitha quickly gains popularity among the menfolk for her beauty and this makes their wives grow jealous of her. The women demand that Roswitha be handed over to them. They attack the pillory. Luigi, the local hangman, is killed during the struggle and Roswitha is led to the public stocks. Before anything happens to her, a nobleman, Alessandro, who knows her true identity and is in love with her, comes to rescue her. Henry attacks the city and Alessandro is slain by Herbolo. When the local women come to know of her true identity they ask for Roswitha's forgiveness. In the end Roswitha and Herbolo's marriage takes place and the queen along with the other captives is freed and taken to the palace.
