About Emma Schiller
Emma SCHILLER, née FRIEDMANN: b. 21 Jan 1868, Wien - d. 4 May 1938, Wien
Information courtesy of various sources, including the following:
Emma SCHILLER was an author,
In 1916 a book of her short stories was published by the Moritz PERLES company under the title "Mein liebes Wien" - Geschichten aus unseren Tagen - . It received much praise in reviews.
ANNO, Oesterreichische Buchhändler-Correspondenz, 1916-12-27, Seite 3

Here it is specified that the writer, Emma SCHILLER, is the wife of book merchant Friedrich SCHILLER and all further mentions of her address tally with that of his. However, there's a single erroneous description of her a being the wife of the "Hofschauspieler" SCHILLER (i.e. presumably Norbert SCHILLER):

Emma continued to write short stories that appeared, for example, in newspapers of the era. When Austria first set up an official significant radio station in October 1924, the RAVAG, she turned her hand also to writing radio plays. In 1925 the rAVAFG held a competition, inviting authors to submit such works, and Emma won first prize for her piece about the younger years of Wolfgang Mozart, which bore the initial title of "Der Wolfgangerl" but later became better known as "Der junge Mozart".

This particular radio play - with music - was so appreciated that it became one of the creations passed on by the Austrian RAVAG to radio stations in Germany and was broadcast again years later after the war.

Emma wrote several more pieces for the radio as well as short stories that featured in newspapers. She clearly enjoyed listening to the new media of the radio herself. One of her works that was broadcast had the title Ein Tag aus dem Leben einer "Radiofreundin" - "A day in the life of a radio friend".:

It's a pity that this is not at all mentioned on her death notice. Perhaps because this event fell shortly after the March 1938 Anschluss?
Death notice:

However, it's possible that she was a lady who preferred to keep herself a bit private. There are no articles about her otherwise to be found but there is a photo of her here:
ANNO, Radio Wien, 1930-05-23, Seite 13

Emma SCHILLER features on the website of the RAVAG "Scriptdepartment - Das Manuskriptarchiv in Dokumentationsarchiv Funk - with a short biography and listing (plus links) of some of her works for radio.
