ABSTRACT
Guests attending the Berlin premiere of the serial Die Herrin der Welt on 5 December 1919 could read this introduction written by Karl Figdor, the fi lm’s story writer, in their programs. Several elements can be seen in this short text that had been important in the promotion of Die Herrin der Welt, such as the fostered high expectations of the audience, the collective entering of an event, and the transporting of the audience to an exotic, far away world.
