English:
The translation of the Dutch text on the back of this postcard reads: “Seeta Devis plays in the new Indian film by Emelka: ‘Boeddha, De roeping van een koningszoon’, the role of Princess Gopa. Like all the other actors in the film she is not a professional, but was especially for this part discovered by director Franz Osten. When Osten heard that she would be the perfect type he was looking for, he traveled for 56 hours by train through burning hot India. And he made this beautiful, only 16 year old Indian girl a film star.” In fact the birthname of Seeta Devi (1921) is Renee Smith. She made her film debut in this film, officially called Prem Sanyas (or Die Leuchte Asiens, 1925). This German production was co-directed by Franz Osten and by the other actor on the postcard. Himansu Rai. Seeta Devi would act in ten more films.
