te book page Massey autobiography shows dignity grace By ALEX BARRIS In these days of overnight successes and instantly pro claimed superstars it is easy to forget that there have been distinguished actors who devoted many decades to the theatre achieved distinction created many memorable roles entertained millions and finally retired all without ever being labelled super star One such is the veteran Cana dian actor Raymond Massey and it is heartening to know that at the age of 82 he has been able to set down his recol lections of rich full career in new volume titled Hundred Different Lives McClelland and Stewart 448 pages $1795 When he was 18 he was in troduced to beautiful girl of 16 from Buffalo who told him she intended to become an actress and appear on Broadway Young Massey determined then and there that he would do the same and indeed share stage with this girl mere 26 years later his dream came true He appeared on Broadway in George Bernard Shaws The Doctors Dilemma opposite Katherine Cornell But that was hardly his only triumph Massey also played opposite Ruth Gordon in Abe Lincoln In Illinois and Ethan Frome opposite Gertrude Lawrence in Pygmalion in England he appeared with the great Gladys Cooper and he worked with Cornell in several other American productions GETTING START Massey recalls going as youth to the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto to see The Circle with John Drew uncle of the Barrymores He went backstage after the perform ance and met the famed actor who listened patiently to young Masseys tale of theatrical am bition Drew advised him to bypass New York and go straight to England where hed have better chance of getting started It turned out to be good advice and in time Massey was recognized in both the worlds Englishspeaking theatrical centres$7s Englishspeaking theatrical centres$7 of his acting and directing time was spent in the theatre Massey also managed to appear in more than 60 films from the HG Wells prophecy Things To Come to The Scarlet Pimper nel and from John Fords The Hurricane to Elia Kazans East Of Eden He also achieved rare feat Being chosen to star in the film version of stage play in which he appeared Abe Lincoln In know In addition television buffs will remember him as the crusty but kindly Dr Gillespie in the highly successful series Dr Kildare which ran for sev eral years CHARMED CIRCLE There is hardly theatreical name you can think of that does not turn up in Masseys book yet one never gets the feeling that he is merely namedrop ping He worked with Olivier Coward Gielgud Niven Laughton Hardwicke Robert Sherwood Garson Kanin Alexander Korda Emlyn Williams and other stage and film notables He even knew and directed plays by Sean OCasey Somerset Maugham and George Bernard Shaw Having spent most of the 19205 in England Massey recr ossed the Atlantic in 1931 to star in what sounds now like ludicrous staging of Hamlet an ego trip for Norman Bel Ged des who produced directed and designed it Bel Geddess first words upon meeting Massey were Ive al tered the script bit In one scene eight guards were to en ter carrying torches Bel Ged des devised batteryoperated torches that made so much noise the actors couldnt be heard Reluctantly Bel Geddes dis carded the torches com menting If only there were no dialogue they would be great Massey recalls with equal relish his first film experience This was in England in 1930 and Massey played Sherlock Holmes in an early talking ver sion of The Speckled Band In cidentally Christopher Plum mer the latest in along string of movie Sherlocks is long time Massey friend and Wrote the foreword to this book FAMILY TALES Very little of Masseys hefty volume deals with his famous family He does tell us that his father aged 72 and in poor health when young Raymond decided to become an actor re delayed Another Miss Marker Child actress Sara Stimson reacts to actor Wa filmingOf Little Miss Marker remake Of the which starred Shirley Temple ceived the news without pleas ure He made difficult demand of his son There is one prom ise want you to make That you will not act or practise on Sunday Not until some years later did his father release him from that promise And there is delightful anecdote concerning Vincent Massey Raymonds older brother at the time when Vincent was to be installed as Canadas GovernorGeneral ceremonial tea was while the new GovemorGeneral was upstairs at Batterwood House struggling with the aid of his valet to get into an elaborate uniform that included half Wellington boots It was the kid brother to the rescue proving his value at long last with some expertise he had learned in the movies playing hussar in The Pris oner Of Zenda THEATRE LIFE Unlike so many of the theatri cal memoirs published these days Masseys book avoids the seamy intimate details This is book about his career not his private life One has the feeling that Mr Massey is too much the gentle man to indulge in gossip and scandal Besides he has much better fish to refry He tells us of life in the theatre its ups and downs the memorable personages he has encountered the struggles and the work the kindlesses ex tended to him the un forgettable moments of triumph And he does it all with the dignity and grace of an elder statesman of the theatre Even his decision to retire as related here has
