Information
The Narva Estonian Society operated in this building (Peter's Square 5), and the theater "Ilmarine" grew out of it, where originally all the actors were amateurs. The theather troupe featured a number of talented actors, including Franz and Hugo Malmsten. Franz's grandson Mait is one of the most famous actors in today's Estonia. Many well-known Estonian actors of that time come from Narva. In addition to the Malmsten mentioned above, Alfred Sällik, Heino Vaks, Mari Möldre, Albert Üksip, Karl Ots, Salme Peetson, Julius Põder and others have also sprung from Narva.
