Biography

Hadidjah was born in South Sulawesi, Dutch East Indies, on 13 June 1920. By 1939 she had married Mas Sardi and had a son, Idris.[1]

When The Teng Chun signed Mas Sardi to handle music for his company, Java Industrial Film, Hadidjah joined him. While Mas Sardi was music director, Hadidjah became an actress. Her debut was in Roesia si Pengkor (Secret of the Clubfoot; 1939),[2] in which she portrayed a young woman who was protected against an unwanted suitor by her lover and her father.[3]

The success of this film led Hadidjah and Moh Mochtar to be cast in romantic roles together for another five films for Java Industrial Film. In 1940, Hadidjah appeared in Matjan Berbisik (Whispering Tiger) as a young woman whom two brothers fight over,[8] then in Rentjong Atjeh (Rencong of Aceh) as a young woman who survives in the jungle with her brother before falling in love with a soldier.[9] In 1941 the pair appeared in another three films: Srigala Item (Black Wolf), Si Gomar, and Singa Laoet.[2]
