Tender, touching, ingenious, gay
and at the same time sad. this auto
biography of the late Alexander
Granach is from start to finish a
most stirring, fascinating record Of
a man and actor.
Granach's principal concern, of
course, was the theater; he died
while filling the role of Tomasino
in "A Bell for Adano" He writes
vividly about the theatrical world
of his youth, when he was a pupil
of Max Reinhardt's, when The
Miracle" was drawing vast throngs
and the great Moissi was playing
Orestes. when Maeterlinck's Blue
Bird" was still fresh and new, when
Strindberg, Hauptmann and Cork
were winning a following, when the
stage struck boy had to change his
name Jessaja, which sounded too
JEWISH SFtIl III piC- w OiAu "oA

But the book is almost half done
before Granach even hears of a
theater. It's main appeal may vel
be to a wider general audience, fol
it is wholly delightful account
of a childhood and early manhood
Don't misunderstood me. There
was little that was actually de-
lightful in those youthful years in
old Galicia for this boy, son OF
an Impoverished baker, learning
the hard way how hard life Is.
Yet through all the odd expert
ences which most youths avoid, ano
indeed ought to avoid. there glows
some strange, enchanting goodness
The thing that really mattered tc

parently throughout life he pre-
served a real innocence. He is 6

raphy. The facts which Phil Stong
has presented are few indeed, and
are scarcely more specific than
those presented in any good history
of Russia.
What he has turned out shows
itself in consequence to be job of
literary padding. Even the little
that is known about his heroine is
in the main uncertain, so he de-
votes himself a great deal to eX-
amining conflicting versions of va
rious points in her career with an
impressive show of concern. But
as it usually turns out that there
is nothing definite to be said one
way or the other this gets him no.

version is complimentary to the
Tsarina, he takes the historical
method of dispensing with them
both impartially and substituting
a new version of his own, frankly
offered as such. as more likely"
Even this system, however, will not
fill up the required number of pages.
and Mr.. Stong has been obliged in
great part simply to repeat himself.
He does so with ungrudging gen.
erosity. I venture that if all the
repetitions were deleted the book
would shrink about a third in size.
For the rest he fills in with con-
temporary history, which means,
since Marta's life was almost
wholly domestic, that he writes the
life of Peter, not Of Peters wife.
