YOUR EDITOR first saw Haas in Die Schöne Müllerin / The beautiful Miller--badly subtitled but still enjoyable--at what was then known as a "FOREIGN MOVIE ART HOUSE" over on the east side of Manhattan--in a very small theatre that had once been a vaudeville venue and then later a burlesque review.  It's amusing now to recall how seeing such films was considered "adventurous".
