Wise and his father has been working on the Jewish Council in Boston. Marc speaks seven languages and when he first came to New York he worked oa a newspaper translating news and editorials in foreign papers and doing some reporting. He has a fine knowledge of the English language. But oddly enough he explains that he had trouble with a very London accent in New York. And, humorously, he corrected that accent only to acquire a definite East Side twancr.

I pictures is now enrolled in Boston university's graduate school to major in romance languages and earn his master and doctor's degrees. Born in Russia, 20-year old Mire Maro Spiegel fled with his parents from there to Berlin, from Berlin to Warsaw and finally to this country to escape the purges of European rov-emments on Jewish people. The story of the boy and his family is a stirring talc-, the end of which still cannot be written. His mother, as far as he knows, is still in the crumbles of the Warsaw ruins.

Whether she is tf'ive or dead is a question which makes the serious young man, who still resembles Jackie C'oogan, shake his head sadly. He hasn't had word from his mother since he received a letter dated August 23. "I can't read a newspaper account of the Warsaw battle without getting a case of nerves," he said at the university where he is trying to settle down to his studies. Acted With Hedy I.aMarr To begin at the start of Marc's story, his father and mother are both doctor and he is an only child. As a Russian Red Cross worker, his father was sent to Switzerland to a convention in 1921.

He had been having difficulties and differences of opinion with the Russian government and rather than return, he fled to Berlin with his family. Marc was three years old then and at that early age started his adventures. When he was six Marc was a juvenile star of German motion pictures. It was then he earned the title of Germany's "Jackie Coogan" appearing in films produced by the Ufa Motion Picture company, the largest in Berlin. After successful silent pictures he was sent through Germany and then throughout Europe making personal appearances.

During a two year stay in London, the young actor met Sophie Tucker, whom he now describes as one of his closest friends. They were both invited to Buckingham Palace where they drank tea with the Prince of Wales. He was called back to Berlin in 1930 and given a five year contract to muke three pictures a year at approximately $1,000 a week. The contract was automatically broken in 1933 when Hitler came into power. His last picture he made with Hedy La Marr.

then Hedy Kiesler and a relatively unknown actress. The name of the picture translated was, "Thirteen Valises of Mr. O. but he says it was not a successful box office attraction. Although almost too young at the time to notice beauty, Marc admits that Hedy is a "very beautiful woman." But he does not believe she is a good actress.

"A carefully manufactured exotic type in la Hollywood," is his analysis cf Miss LaMarr. When Hitler began his purge of the Jews in Germany, Marc's father was general secretary of the German Red Cross. When Nazi storm troopers came to arrest him at his office, he was warned by a faithful secretary and escaped by jumping out a back window. His father and mother then fled to Warsaw, but Marc remained in Berlin for a short while. Refused "Heil Hitler" Salute Marc had studied with tutors while working in motion pictures and completed high school at the early age of 14.

He was attending school in Berlin when his folks left the city. It was his intention to continue on with his studies, but he was involved in an argument with the son of a Nazi leader for refusing to give the "Heil, Hitler" salute. He pushed the other boy, who fell, suffering a fractured skull, and authorities suggested that Marc leave Germany before the injured boy's father made is uncomfortable for him. He did not go to Warsaw then, however. Instead he traveled to Paris and studied there from 1933 to 1937, graduating from the University of Nancy.

By this time his father had established a travel agency in the Polish capital and Marc joined him there. He worked in the agency and wrote as a film critic with his own bv-line in the European periodical, "Film News." His father was in private business for four years in Warsaw, and his agency was the only Jewish firm in the city holding a government concession. Then disaster -evertook the family again in August, 1937, when the Poles conducted their pogrom. Armed with knives and guns they destroyed and then burned the office. His father was badly injured and suffered a nervous collapse.
