Ismail Djoemala (also credited Rd Djoemala; Perfected Spelling: Ismail Jumala; 1915/18 – 10 June 1992) was an Indonesian actor active in the 1940s. He was often cast alongside Roekiah as her romantic interest.

Biography

Djoemala was born in Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia), the capital city of the Dutch East Indies.Шаблон:Sfn Sources disagree on his year of birth; the catalogue Apa Siapa Film Indonesia gives 19 September 1915,Шаблон:Sfn while Indonesian film historian Misbach Yusa Biran gives 1918.Шаблон:Sfn Although later billed as "Raden" Djoemala, the actor was not of noble descent. He had some schooling,Шаблон:Sfn completing his junior high school in 1934.Шаблон:Sfn

A tailor by trade, Djoemala had owned the Broadway Store located on Kramat Raya Street.Шаблон:Sfn In 1940 he was approached by Tan's Film and cast for their new production, Sorga Ka Toedjoe (Seventh Heaven). He was cast opposite Tan's mainstay Roekiah, whose regular on-screen partner, Rd Mochtar, had recently left the company owing to wage concerns.Шаблон:Sfn Djoemala was chosen for his good looks and tall body.Шаблон:Sfn In the film, Djoemala played Hoesin, who reunites the long-separated Hadidjah (Annie Landouw) and Kasimin (Kartolo; Roekiah's husband) to win the hand of Roekiah's character Rasmina.Шаблон:Sfn The film was a success, and one reviewer opined that Djoemala was as good as, if not better, than Mochtar.Шаблон:Sfn

The pair's next film together, Roekihati, cast Djoemala as a city-dweller named Mansoer who falls for a village girl named Roekihati (Roekiah), but is nearly forced to marry another woman.Шаблон:Sfn In 1941 Djoemala and Roekiah acted in another two films together, Poesaka Terpendam (Buried Treasure) and Koeda Sembrani (The Enchanted Horse).Шаблон:Sfn Although all of these films were moderate critical successes, ultimately the pairing of Djoemala and Roekiah was unable to draw as many viewers as Mochtar and Roekiah had done.Шаблон:Sfn Biran writes that Roekiah's singing and the comedic antics of Kartolo were all that Tan's could depend on during this period.Шаблон:Sfn

Following the Japanese occupation of the Indies in February 1942, Tan's was closed. Djoemala is not recorded as having acted in any further films.Шаблон:Sfn During the occupation he joined a theatre troupe, Pantjawarna, in West Java, while in the Indonesian National Revolution (1945–49) he fought as a guerrilla.Шаблон:Sfn After the revolution he returned to working as an entrepreneur and tailor, dying in Jakarta on 10 June 1992.Шаблон:Sfn
