von ANGELICA SCHÜTZ
The Viennese actress Angelica Schütz gave readings from works by Austrian Jewish writers at the Austrian Institute in London. The selection from Beer-Hofmann and Werfel to Alfred Polgar and Friedrich Torberg, often had the audience in tears as Angelica Schütz read with splendidly adaptable and deeply moving voice. When, towards the end aof the recital, the immortal humour of Fritz Gruenbaum and Karl Farkas loosened the tense atmosphere and first smiles dispersed the gloom, one was once reminded oft he greatness and versatility of those exiled or murdered writers.
