Als er seinem alten Herrn beibrachte, daß er zur Bühne wollte, versetzte dieser ihm einen ganz gründlichen Tritt, so daß Adolphe auf einen Stuhl des Königlichen Theaters Den Haag flog, wo er 4 Jahre hocken mußte, ehe ein Talentloser seinem Talent Platz machte. Dann ging's fix mit dem Populärwerden; bald kannte ihn jeder (sogar die Polizei!), Holland wurde für seine weite Kunst zu winzig, Deutschland ward das Land seiner Ideale. Mit seinem großen Erfolg „Die vier Teufel" faßte er festen Fuß in Berlin: von Robert zu Saitenburg, zu Meinhard und Bemauer, zu Zickel, zu Bamowsky — bald war er der Liebling des Berliner Publikums! In 161 Filmen kreierte er 161 Rollen. 1929 verschwand Adolphe für einige Zeit. — Tournee nach Indien!
