Early life and career
Early life and career
Pražský was born on 24 July 1893 in Nýřany. He began his studies in 1910 and continued them until 1914. He moved to Prague and began to work in the theater. He became the director of the Švanda Theatre during this time and was a frequent guest at the Vinohrady Theatre. It wasn't until 1919 that he moved to filmmaking. He had a successful acting and directing career. His 1927 film Battalion was his biggest success. It has been considered one of the most important works in Czech silent cinema. However, after the release of Battalion, he fell into debt. He attempted to move into sound and made only one sound film Sedmá velmoc (1933) but the film flopped. He left film for a career in radio production in 1933. He was director of Czech Radio from 1933 to 1958. In 1957 he was awarded the Prague artist of Outstanding Merit prize.
