Already during the reign of Emil Lessing he was seen in several productions at the Volksbühne. On May 1st, 1918 Was not a public holiday back then, but a year later, but for the time being, only for a year. He was crowned boss of the Volksbühne himself. Kiehn, Ute. Theater in the "Third Reich": Volksbühne Berlin. Wissenschaftlicher Verlag, Berlin, 2001. During his term of office there was a twist : After the end of the war (which of course had been lost) and the German emperor's abdication, the republic was proclaimed and the Sozis, so to speak, a part of the Arbeiterklasse - Working Class (though not all) were in power for once. In other words: The Volksbühne was now part of the establishment and the Arbeiterkampf was no longer going so well. Davies, Cecil William. Theater for the People: The Story of the Volksbühne. United Kingdom, Manchester University Press, 1977. That made her (the working class) tame to please as many as possible - quite an Emilian move, but also quite a Frankish one. At first, that didn't bother anyone except the theater critics. Dietze, Antje. Ambivalences of transition: The Volksbühne on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin in the nineties.

During this time there were some quarrels with the association's board, so that he resigned from his position prematurely for "material reasons". Once again they wanted to promote Leopold Jessner to boss, but once again some people objected.
