Fritzi Massary (p. 196)

I would hesitate to call the book magisterial/monumental whose author tells us (p.196) that the great musical stage actress Fritzl (sic) Massary was the daughter of (playwright) Carl Sternheim. One shudders to think what else he's got wrong. And the first name Massary was known by, was Fritzi, not Fritzl.
