Of his films, one of the more famous he starred in was the Leni Riefenstahl directed The Blue Light (1932), made in 1932. Frau Riefenstahl acted in this film as well as directed it. In "Das Blaue Licht", Mathias plays the lead opposite Frau Riefenstahl as a painter who befriends her with unhappy consequences. Frau Riefenstahl and Mathias had worked together previously in another film Storm Over Mont Blanc (1930) in 1930. Frau Riefenstahl, who is 99 years young and whose 100th birthday is coming up in August, 2002, remembers Mathias very well as "ein wunderbarer Mensch". Another famous film is the 1936 feature _Ewige Maske, Die (1936)_ a film about a doctor dealing with and overcoming his mental illness. This movie won the 1937 American National Board of Review award for best foreign film and Mathias won the award for best actor. The film was also nominated for an award at the Venice Film Festival.

It was while working as an actor in Berlin that Mathias met his wife Erika (Friedericke Anna Hedwig Meingast), who was a stage actress. They married on January 11, 1926.
