GRAF, ARTURO (1848-1913), Italian poet and critic (see 12.315), published in 1911 L 'Anglomania e I'injlusso inglese in Italia nel secolo XVIII. He died at Turin May 29 1913. Poesie, a collection of his best poems, appeared in 1915.

See Sartori Treves, Arluro Graf, romanziere e poela (1904). GRANTHAM, SIR WILLIAM (1835-1911), English judge, was born at Lewes Oct. 23 1835. He came of an old Sussex family, and inherited property in the county. After a successful career at the bar and in Parliament, where he represented East Surrey in the Conservative interest from 1874-85, he was appointed in 1885 judge of the Queen's Bench division of the High Court. He was never at pains to conceal his own views on politics, and after 1906, when he was on the rota of judges for election peti- tions, his decisions were sharply criticized as biassed against the Liberal party, notably in the Great Yarmouth case, which led to a motion of censure in the House of Commons in July 1906. But in certain criminal cases he gained considerable credit, and in the Adolf Beck trial he was one of the first to suspect the mistake as to the prisoner's identity (see 14.287). He was chairman of the East Sussex quarter sessions, and as a landlord took a practical interest in the housing of the rural labourers. He died in London Nov. 30 1911. GRANVILLE-BARKER, HARLEY (1877- ), English play- wright, producer and actor-manager, son of Albert James Barker, of Hereford, and Mary E. Bozzi-Granville, was born in London Nov. 25 1877. Educated privately, at the age of 13 he was sent to the Theatre Royal, Margate, then a stock company's theatre and a dramatic school. A year later he made his first stage appearance at Harrogate in Wilks's Ben the Bos'un, and he first appeared in London at the Comedy theatre the following year in The Poet and the Puppets. After playing in a diversity of dramas he became interested in the work of the Stage Society and especially in the plays of G. Bernard Shaw. In 1904 he joined J. E. Vedrenne in the management of the Court theatre, London, and there produced and acted in many of these plays, as well as in those of St. John Hankin, John Galsworthy, Ibsen, Masefield and his own play, The Voysey Inheritance (1005). His later play, Waste, forbidden public performance by the Censor, was played by the Stage Society in 1907, as was also The Marrying of Ann Leete (1901). The Madras House was produced by the Frohman repertory com- pany at the Duke of York's theatre in 1910. In 1913-4 he produced Shakespearean dramas in an original manner at the Savoy theatre. He wrote Souls on Fifth, a fantastic story, and The Red Cross in France, both in 1916, published a volume of three short plays (1917), and a play, The Harlequinade, with D. C. Calthrop (1918). In 1921 he was appointed public lecturer on the art of the theatre by the university of Liverpool. He married first (1906) LILLAH MCCARTHY, herself a distinguished actress in Shaw's plays and in English versions of Greek drama. She made a special success as Anne Whitefield in Shaw's Man and Superman and Jennifer in his The Doctor's Dilemma. She was also Jocasta in Reinhardt's production of Oedipus Rex at Covent Garden in 1912, and Nan in Masefield's play of that name, as well as playing the name part in his translation of Jensen's The Witch, both first produced at the Court theatre in 1911 and repeated at the Savoy theatre in 1913. Miss McCarthy ob- tained a divorce in 1917, and in 1920 she married Prof. Frederick W. KeeWe (b. 1870), of Oxford. Granville-Barker in 1918 married Helen Gates Huntingdon of New York. GREECE (see 12.425). Old Greece had up to 1912 an area of about 25,014 sq. miles. The Balkan wars of 1912-3 added to the kingdom New Greece, consisting of Macedonia, Epirus, Crete and a number of islands in the Aegean extending over 16,919 sq. m., making the area of the country 41,933 sq. m. in all, in 1914. After the World War, Greece, with the consent of the Allied and Associated Powers, occupied part of Western Thrace and of the vilayet of Aidin in Asia Minor and retained all the islands for the time being. According to the Treaty of Sevres (Aug. 10 1920) Greece was to receive practically the whole of European Turkey W. of the Chatalja lines, and the Dodecanese islands were ceded by Italy when the treaty was signed. The war between Greece and Turkey left the situation as regards Asia Minor still uncertain during 1921.

The numerous changes make it impossible to present statistical returns in comparative form, but the available official figures are given in the tables. Table I shows the population at the dates given, for the departments ac in 1914.
