(Elsa Krueger; in Russian Эльза Крюгер, full name in Russian Елизавета Эмильевна Крюгер, Yelizaveta Krüger) was a dancer, a friend of famous painter Alexandra Exter and an actress who starred in one of best movies of Russian empire – “Silent Witnesses” directed by Yevgeny Bauer (1914).
She was born circa 1893 in Russian empire, her father was of Holland origin, and the mother was Russian. Elsa studied at a ballet school and about 1913 started to perform at one of Moscow theatres with modern dances. Soon she is a star and is named “queen of tango”.
After the revolution of 1917 she leaves Moskow and moves to Odessa, later (in 1920) to Berlin. Her relationship with a very rich businessman helped her to open Russian Romantic Ballet Theatre in Berlin (“Russische romantische Ballett”). Her photos also appear on numerous cards and postcards.
