Note 13: Arnold Hending: The film and H.C. Andersen, p.13-14. In the book, Hending unfortunately does not mention anything about the year in which the interview with Viggo Larsen took place. But since the book was published in 1955, one might be allowed to guess that the interview may have taken place approx. a couple of years earlier, i.e. around 1953, when Viggo Larsen has been approx. 73 years. It is not known what is meant by the term "long before cartoons were created". On the other hand, it must be assumed that the statement may have been made under the unconscious impression of, partly, Dreyer's article from January 1939 and partly of what Viggo Larsen may have seen of cartoons in the many intermediate years. - (Jens) Viggo Larsen (1880 – 1957). Originally a sergeant, but in 1905 was employed in Ole Olsen's newly established cinema "Kjøbenhavns Biograf-Theater" in Vimmelskaftet in Copenhagen. 1906-09 film director at Nordisk Films Kompagni. 1910-21 director and film actor in Germany, where he lived until 1945.

Axel (Sørensen) Graatkjær (1885 – 1969), started as a program salesman at the "Biograf-Theatret" in 1905. In 1906 he became a film operator at the same place, and until 1911 he recorded most of Nordisk Film's feature films. He left the company in 1913 to become a film photographer in Germany, including not least on Asta Nielsen films. At the breakthrough of the sound film around 1927-28, Graatkjær returned to Denmark, where he lived as a rentier. The actors mentioned in the Arnold Hending quote are Petrine (Møller) Sonne (1870 – 1946), who made her debut in 1892 at Folketeatret and then performed as an actress at Casino, Frederiksberg Teater, Det Ny Teater 1911-27. From 1927 until his death again affiliated with the Folketeatret. Her film debut took place in 1907, presumably as the witch in "Fyrtøjet". Petrine Sonne was in her time about as used in Danish film as was the case with Ib Schønberg. She was also a well-known voice in radio listening games. - It has not been possible to identify "Bugtaler Lund", except that his name was Gustav Lund and is mentioned several places in Marguerite Engberg: Dansk Stumfilm I-II. - Oda (Marie) Alstrup (1888 – 1964), theater debut 1898, at Copenhagen private theaters until 1910. 1910-12 at Aarhus Theater. 1912-14 at the Central Theater in Copenhagen. 1914-30 revue actor at the Scala Theater. Left the theater in 1930. Film debut 1907, probably in "Kameliadamen", in which she played the title role. Oda Alstrup was a younger sister of the legendary revue actor Carl Alstrup, who recorded several films in the years 1908-41 and who in 1926 also took out a patent for a color film system, which, however, had no practical significance.

Robert Krause (1813 - 1983) was a decoration painter at Nordisk Film in 1907-12, but was occasionally assisted by Robert Storm Petersen and Gustav Lund. - Jean Hersholt (1886 – 1956). Theater debut at Dagmar Teatret 1904. Appeared in a couple of Ole Olsen's first feature films. Traveled to Canada in 1908 and came to the United States in 1913. From 1915 until his death film actor in Hollywood, where he in addition to starring in approx. 450 feature films also became known and popular as a radio actor. From 1938 president of the Motion Picture Relief Fund, and 1945 president of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. He was also a knowledgeable H.C. Andersen researcher and collector, who in 1948 published H.C. Andersen's correspondence with the American children's book author and publisher of "The Riverside Magazine", Horace E. Scudder. - Ole Olsen as well as Storm P. we have previously heard about in this context, why it should not be repeated here. - Marguerite Engberg: Danish silent film I-II only mentions "Fyrtøjet", but neither "Lykkens Kalosker" or "Ole Lukøje". On the other hand, Viggo Larsen is given a characteristic as a film director and artistic director, just as a number of his other films are mentioned, some even with shot-to-shot descriptions.
