forced to flee to England. There, in 1939, Schrecker was a co-founder
of the Viennese Theatre Club of Paddington, a "celebrated émigré
cabaret and theatre", also known as Das Laterndl. The theatrical group
of talented Austrian exiles, which included the likes of Lona Cross,
Martin Miller and Marianne Walla became known for their sketches and
plays which represented a "satirical commentary on Vienna under Nazi
