Born in the Rhineland, he was the son of manufacturer. After distinguished service in the 1914 war, he lived miserably through Germany's depression as a miner and even a drug pedlar. He got into trouble with the authorities for his early revolutionary plays, and never forgot his hatred of jacks-in-office. Taken up by Max Reinhardt, he won acclaim in for "Der Weinberg" The Happy Vineyard and other popular successes. His masterpiece was unquestionably 6 6 The Captain of (1931), was filmed been seen in theatres everywhere--most resandy cently in London at the Old Vic.

Hitler refugee A refugee from Hitler, Zuckmaver wrote his other international success in the United States. 66 The Devil's General." also filmed, was famous for its delineation of the Nazi hierarchy. It raised controversy with a sympathetic portrait of a Luftwaffe ace who became a part of Hitler's war machine because he was 66 fool about flying." Trevor and Wilfrid Lawson starred in the production at the Savoy Theatre 1953, the first post-war play about Hitler's regime to reach London. Zuckmayer's later work was less successful, although The Cold Light" (1954) about the atom bomb spy Klaus Fuchs, aroused much interest. His films include Marlene Dietrich's The Blue Angel," based on the Heinrich Mann novel Professor Unrat," and Charles Laughton's brandt." 66 The Captain of is a delightful comedy-farce, wittily conceived and full of robust but affectionate satire of humourless German characters.

His autobiography, A Part of Myself 99 (1966), contains attractive descriptions of Berlin in the 1920s and of the intellectual circles in which the playwright moved. Rear Admiral Daniel Gallery.

Ecumenical Explosion partnership of the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches, with Pope as is reported that a proposed 66 Patriarch," has been approved in principle by the Vatican.

But there is some irritation in Rome at an anonymous article in the Church Times which suggests that the present Pope should resign (he will be 80 this year) and 66 make the way clear for a younger man with more zest for the last two decades of the twentieth century." Whether the article was written Spaceley-Trellis, the go-ahead Bishop of Bevindon, whose own zest for the last two decades of the twentieth century is undeniable, I cannot say. But it is unlikely that he is thinking of himself as a possible a Pope or Patriarch, relevant and meaningful as such an appointment would be. Dr Trellis said yesterday that the new Pope, whoever he might be, would have to possess not only zest, but a real spirit of Questing Youth so that he could grapple with the basic religious problem our daythe struggle against racism, sexism, fascism, the anpopulation explosion, censorship, food additives and the whole load of outmoded superstition which was still impeding all the Christian Churches in their progress towards the ecumenical, secular future46 the ecumenical explosion."
