NEW YORK.
Oscar Karlweis stepped out of
frothy opera bouffe role in the re-
vival Of Johan Strauss "Rosalinda"
into the Theater Guilds produc-
tion of "Jacobowsky and the Col
one" and got better notices than
the play itself.
Possibly the reason is that the
role of Jacobowsky Is right out of
Karlweis' own life.
Franz Werfel did not write the
play because Karlweis had gone
| through vaguely identical adven-
lures while keeping ahead of the
Nazis all over Europe. But the CO.
incidences involved are enough to
make you wonder.
Karlweis was a famed Viennese
actor in city which started many
an international sock and buskin IA
vorite, He was indigenous with fine
theatrical surroundings; his father
was well-knoWn author of plays
containing sharp lolitical satire; his
sister married Jakob Wasserman, a
great European novelist.
Cited in World War.
After World War I, Karlweis care
fully put away four bravery ci-
tations won as young artillery Off
Ger of Austria Hungary and went
on the stage. His was one of those
swift success stories. Before many
months he was playing leading
roles.
He was paired many times with
Elizabeth Bergner; he hopes he is
not embarrassing Marlene Dietrich
by recalling that he starred with
her in 1928 in show called Some
thing in the Air"
He worked for the late Max Rein
hardt in Berlin and in Vienna, and
1t was then that he first performed
the role of the prince in Die Fled
ermaus," which was retitled Rosa
linda" when the new opera company
revived it here last year.
KarlWeis startled European audi
ences with his role in Die Fielder

played by a woman, as a princess.
When the part was revamped to fit a
baritone, it was considered a star

who had begun to despair of the

Since Miss Hellman, superior

Of self-interest in high places, inept
diplomacy, maladministration and
all kindred evils that cast the world
into bloody turmoil, the author Of
this play-or, at any rate, the play
itself--is somewhat confused. Yet,
in view of the subject, how could
it be otherwise?
It, the play, is an enactment of
salient moments of the past dating
back to 1922-the march on Rome
and carrying forward by stages to
the present day. 1t is document
