The Saga OLA Young Man
By BETTY CRONICK

A KAN d er White of the
Tucson Win ter Playhouse
talks about his youth reluct-
antly. The pain in his eyes
makes you feel almost sorry
you asked him, but there's a
powerful and moving story to
be told so you continue to
question him. It all began in
1925, in Berehowo, Czechoslo-
vakia.
Young Alex lived in Bere-
howo with his parents, two
brothers and two sisters until
he gradua t e d from grade
school. Since the high school
system as we know it here,
does not exist in Europe, boys
like Alex are sent by t h e n
parents to Gymnasiums, the
equiv a en- t of our h i G h
schools. So Alex left his fam
lily in Berehowo, to continue
his education at a Gymnas-
ium in Budapest in neighbor-
ing Hungary. Alex was COM
ple in G his final year at
school, when the NaZiS march
ed into Budapest. He n eve r
saw Berehowo or his family
again.
Alex was young and heal
Alex was young and
healthy, so at Auschwitz he
was put in a labor battalion.
It was 1914. He was subjected
to the soul-searing horrors
first of Auschwitz then Math-
ousen and finally Dacvhau.
Each left such bitter memo
ries that Alex Winces when he
says their names. 1t was at
Auschwitz that his e n tir e
family was murdered.

ganizers in the DIP camp of a
dramatics group that had as
it's members most of the i'm

figures. These great artists,
had to fashion a new life and
career all over again. They de.
cided to revive the great
'EIabimah".
Alexander w hi t e was one
of those who was brought to
the U. S. by UNRA. He had
no ia m lily, no friends, no
money, and although he spoke

Arriving a spring day in
1854 in Indianapolis, Alex was
ready to begin a new project.
He had heard that Indianap-
oils had no summer theater.
He decided to create one. AL
though totally unknown, Alex
raised the necessary funds in
short order. It was a tremend-
Gus success from the very
first, and still is. Then Holly.
wood beckoned the young i'm
pressario. He was with Hal
Roach as S story editor and
later directed a series of &c
half-hour TV shows.
Summer Stock
In the spring of 1855, Alex
got what he calls the "sum'
mer stock ITCH. This time he
chose Cincinnati and repeated
his triumph of Indianapolis.
Until now, Alex had been
promoting with other peoples
money. Now he felt he was
going to do it on his own. Last
fall, Alex arrived in Tucson to
establish a professional stock
company. Since opening night
Alex has made a lot of friends
in his charming red and white
tent theater and has lost
money. 'It has been rocky 60
ing" says Alex, "yet I'm very
thankful for all the encour-
agement I've received. People
want the theater here, and I'm
hoping to make this a perma-
nent thing. Tucson's a won
derful community, and I'd
like it to be my winter home" "
Looking Ahead
The ingenious MIR. White
has plans for the summer. He
has selected an ideal midwest
location for a summer stock
theater and plans to take the
tent there, returning for the
winter season here. "ItS 60

Schoendienst
Sets Record
For Fielding

Red Schoendienst, whose ailing
back stamped him as a question
mark when he was traded by the
st. Louis Cardinals to the New
York Giants last season, estab-
lished an all-time National
League fielding record for second
basemen with an average of 1893.
Schoepdienst handled $40
chances with only four errors to
beat the 1922 mark set by Jackie
Robinson of Brooklyn in 1851.
Ted Kluszewski, Cincinnati
first baseman who had led the
league five previous seasons, was
replaced by Milwaukee's Joe Ad-
cock. who fielded at a 1895 clip.
Kluszewski, ailing much of the
season, finished well down the
list at 800.
Roy Mcmillan, Cincinnati's
slick shortstop, led his division
with a mark of .975, while Willie
Jones of the PhillieS paced third
basemen for the fourth year in a
row with an average of 1913.
Del Crandall of Milwaukee was
tops among catchers at 1896,
while among qualifying pitchers
Tom Poholsky of st. Louis was
best. handling Al chances with
out an error.
Brooklyn nosed out Cincin-
natl for team fielding honors,
1872 to .9811. while Pittsburgh
committed the most errors, 1862.
