The first personal gaming experience, or the explosion of inspiration that Erna Villmer later remembers, was born in a German language class, when she had to read a poem.
Something in her voice, expression or gesture deserved the admiration of the whole class and the teacher made a complimentary comment.
[1] Villmer was seen as a talent, a new star in the Estonian troupe, she developed into a leading actress alongside Paul Pinna and Altermann.
[2] At the beginning of the war, on August 14, 1914, the Estonian Society canceled the contract with the actors and disbanded the entire cast.
The Russian government took the theater house from the society in order to bring a military hospital there from Liepāja.
In the second year of the war, Erna Villmer lived in Finland with her husband, until Luiga was sent to Curonia to the Dune front in the fall of 1916.
She played a lot and well, critics praised her, she was called the most talented, most loved, most intelligent actress of the Estonian theater.
The breadth of her scope, alongside the former young girls and gentle maidens, have come deep, dramatic women, as well as coquettes and big ladies.
Marital relations with Luiga were strained to the extreme, the "romance" with Lauter had matured, and the situation demanded a solution.
