Mr. Satz, who also acted on Broadway, began his stage career at the age of five in his native city of Lwow. Before he was 20 he was employed by Maurice Materlink for an English role in London. He came to the United States shortly after the outbreak of World War I. In 1919 he was among the founders of the Yiddish Art Theatre.
