Lived Free Happy Life Alexander Woollcott Regarded Be-. ing Good Reporter Most The ebullient Alexander Woollcott, who died in New York a few days ago, lived a happy, crowded life as newspaperman, actor, playwright, author, raconteur and radio commentator. , He always insisted that his most Important Job was that of being a good newspaper reporter, And he proved to be1 one of the most ob serving and Interesting reporters of hi? time. He radiated good humor. There were few things that he liked bet ter than subtle humor and usually at the expense of himself. Once, wheihe was sailing for Shanghai, New York ship news reporters spied him strolling the deck looking a good deal like a Chinese Junk with its fat sails full. "I wish to emphatically deny," he beamed, pointing to his bulky figure, "that all rickshaw boys throwing rocks through his classroom windows. Harry then went to Colgate university which Woollcott gleefully described as "an Institution maintained for benefit of persons expelled from Hamilton." A Cub Reporter His newspaper career began as a cub reporter on the New York Times, One of his first assignments was as a rewrite man on the story of the sinking of the Titanic. As "a leg man" his repor-torial assignments often took him to police headquarters and his work on crime stories gave him an enthusiasm for murder stories, fact or fictional, that he never lost. A dramatic critic for the Times, Sun and World in New York, his reviews of Broadway shows were penetrating, witty and frequently devastating. When he was enthusiastic,, as he always was for such actresses as Mrs. Fiske, Helen Hayes and Lynn Fontanne, no one could sound the drums of praise with such vigor. And when he thought a show or performance was bad his pen dripped vitriol. The Shuberts were so angered by one of his reviews In 1916 that they banned him from all their theatres." Playwright-Actor In 1931 he made his first appearance as an actor in "Brief Moment,'' in which he played a humorously sardonic kibitzer who commented upon everyone's drawing-room behavior except his own. He was a suave, able actor, especially good In roles that needed a performance spiced with dry wit. Acting Debut His acting debut really ,was a sort of amateur performance when he played scene with Madge Kennedy from "HenryVIII" before an audience that consisted of Jascha Helfetz, Irving Berlin, Lady Diana Manners, Helen Hayes, Mrs. Fiske, Alfred Lunt and Lynn When the curtain went up, re vealing Woollcott as Henry VIII the audience hissed for five minutes. How unpopular Madge Kennedy must be," he muttered as he made his exit. At odd intervals he took a curious interest In politics. He once entered himself as a candidate for county librarian of a New England precinct in which he did not live but was merely visiting. He was irked because every time he went to the library for a particular book he always found It "out." He wanted to be elected to make everyone return the overdue books. He lost. With A.E.F. He served in the American Expeditionary Force in the first world war and was a .member of the staff of "The Stars nd plan to go on strike when I arrive 'Stripes," a part of which, incUid-ln China." ilng Woollcott, returned to found That particular voyage wa3 be- the magazine "The New Yorker." ing made merely to visit again! He never married. He had a with his long-time friend, Harry -home In . New York city and a Kean Yuan, son of ' Yuan Shin- summer home at Bomoseen, Ver-Kal, who was president of China mont. He was famed for his hos- from 1912 to 1916. The two had been students at Hamilton Col lege. That is, they were students pitallty to celebrities in both places. His New York apartment, at until Harry was expelled for .the far end of a street overlook ing the East River, was frequently the scene of breakfast parties that Included as many as sixty guests, all famed In the theatrical or literary world.
