told an interviewer.
Everyone Was Typed
"In the early days everyone
was typed. Bill Hart was the
big, Western herman. I couldn't
compete against him. Rudolph
Valentino was the handsome
sheik. The only type left that
I could fill was the debonair
habitue of the drawing rooms.
Mr.. Menjou was a free-lancer
in an era when studio affilia-
ton was the accepted practice.
But his availability paid off and
he piled up a fortune as the
film credits mounted.
By 1850 he had appeared in
more than 200 movies.
Mr.. Menjou was born Feb
ruary Is, 1890, in Pittsburgh,
Pa. The son of a well-to-do
hotel proprietor, he was edu-
Gated at Culver Military
Academy and at Cornell Uni
versity.
He became interested in
theatrical work at Cornell and
joined the Mclaughlin Stock
Company in Cleveland, Ohio,
after graduation. The same
year-1912-he did his first
motion picture work with the
old Vitagraph Co. in New York.
Served in Army
Before World War I, he APP
peared in such films as THE
Amazons," THE Valentine
Girls" THE Miss" and 1.-THE
Moth" and made screen love
to such stars as Marguerite
Clark and Norma Talmadge.
He enlisted in the Army
when the war started, saw
service in Italy and France
and was discharged as a cap
tain.
Once out of uniform, he
moved to California with the
film industry.
Mr.. Menjou had made few
films in recent years. a reflec-
ton of his critical view of the
product. But he found
time for considerable television
work when that medium had
firmly established itself.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 80 CAP)
l-Adolphe Menjou. the dapper.
crisp talking actor whose career
spanned half a century in films,
died yesterday after a long
illness. He was 73..
Death came at his home in
Beverly Hills. With him were
his third wife, the former Veree
Teasdale, and his son. Peter, 81.
The cause of death was first
announced as jaundice but later
Mr.. Menjou's physician told a
reporter it was chronic hepa-
titis-inflamation Of the liver
of which jaundice was a symp-
tom. The doctor said Mr..
Menjou had no malignancy.
Mr.. Menjou was one of Hol-
lywood's great stylists. Though
born and educated in the
United States. he used his for
eign-sounding name to advan-
tage in the early days of silent
films. With trim mustache,
slicked hair and continental
tailoring, he became the epit-
ONE of the European gentleman
on the screen.
Impeccable Manners
The adjective suave was in
separable with Menjou. His
manners were impeccable. as
were his clothes. The Menjou
look reflected scrupulous care
to the elegance of male attire.
including vests. spats, cane and
bowler.
Though type-cast to a marked
degree, it never seemed to hurt
him. Possibly it was because he
could portray-with equal force

urbane wastrel or the warm
hearted uncle or father.

sition to sound. Audiences were
surprised that he spoke with
no accent. His manner of

though as clipped as his mus
tache. He delivered lines-and
spoke in private life-at break
neck speed.
One Of his earliest talking
films was THE Front Page" in
which he played the garrulous
managing editor.
Was Avid Reader
Mr.. Menjou was proud of
being what he regarded as a
thinking man." He read up to
eight books a week and was
fluent in five languages.
Around Hollywood he was
known as outspoken and, by
his detractors, as long-winded.
Conservatism became a crusade
with him and he spoke out
harshly against leftist influ-
ences wherever he deemed
them to be.
At one point he printed and
distributed a list of 235 books
everyone should read if they
are to understand commu-
nism."
He said later: LAS a result

man and crackpot."

Memories Of Jewish h Life

and the tattered, but still inn
pressive, ark speaks to us of
the joys, misfortunes and mira
cles that transpired in the little
Jewish community of Filehne,
Poland.
It lets us visualize the awe
inspiring ceremony of Yom
Kippur, the crowded synagogue
filled with a devoted assemb-
lage of penitent men and wom-
en-. We see each man robed in
his white linen "kittep' or
"sargenes," the self same gar
ment in which he is to be bur-
led. His kittel is white, for the
penitent worshipper is tradition
ally likened to the ministering
angels whose s;nlesS record is
as white as snow. His white
garment is tied with a rope SYM
bolically dividing the "purer"
from the "baser" parts of his
body. Some of the richer con-
gregants in our little Polish
synagogue wear a b2lt with a
silver buckle-like the one in
the jewish Museum, which,
coming from early nineteenth
century Eastern Europe, has a
cartouche flanked by two Ions
and bearing the Day of Atone
ment prayer: For on this day
shall atonement be made for
you to cleanse you of all your
sins; you shall be clean before
the Lord" Geviticus $500.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1963-09-20

Hasidic lore, recalls the Cur
ator of Cincinnati's Jewish Mu-
scum, abounds with accounts of
incidents that took place before
the Holy Ark on the High Holy
days. There is, for instance, the
beautiful tale of an illiterate
farmer boy who had inherited
a large, heavy prayer book
from his parents. On the day of
Atonement he brought it to the
synagogue and, laying it on the
stand before the Ark, cried out
in tears:
Father in Heaven, 1 don't
know how to pray, but I offer
you the entire Prayer Book"
Other stories tell us of ignor-
ant men who, unable to rccite
prayers before Gods Holy Ark
on the High Holydays, offered
up songs instead, or simply
whistled. Still others recount
the stirring moments when tor
mented, grief-stricken men in
terrupted the prayers to fling
themselves before the open ark
to plead with God Almighty or
even to accuse Him.
These beautiful tales a;e not
merely dead memories of a
vanished past; they still live
for those attuned to hear them.
