enc Molnar, to whom she was marriedin Budapest in 1926 and to whom shestayed married until his death in 1952.

It was a happy alliance, professionallyand maritally. At least ones a year, MissDarvas turned up in the Vienna and Bu-

dapest theatre in a play written espec-

ially for her by her husband. She madeher initial appearance before Budapest

audiences as Juliet in Shakespeare’s un-

dying romance. She was a leading mem-ber of Max Reinhardt’s theatrical com-panies for almost a decade playing in

Vienna, Berlin, the Salzburg Festivals

and almost every European capital. Herparts ranged from Goethe to Schiller toGoldoni to G. B. Shaw. The Molnarsbeat the climax of the Nazi scourge byone year and fled to America in 1938.Promptly, she mastered English and en-

tered the American stage in such worksas Rose Franken’s ‘‘Soldier’s Wife”,Kaufman and Hart’s “Bravo”, and withMaurice Evans in his famed “G. I. Ham-let”. She co-starred with Melvyn Doug-las in “Waltz of the Toreadors”. Lastseason, she had a featured role in “Che-ri” wherein she performed with MissStanley.

GEORGE GAYNES(Frederick Wohlmuth)

It is a far cry from Helsinki, Finland,where George Gaynes was born, to theAmerican stage. He appeared for thefirst time on a stage in Lausanne, Swit-

zerland, in Moliere’s “La Malade Imag-inaire” in 1937 and then the war inter-rupted his thespian career. He servedfor the duration in the Royal Navy asa Lieutenant and Seaman. Anchored
