A younger generation who had heard of her legend wentto her later performances and were confused about what all the fuss was about. 38 Ithe end, when the chorus of critics grew too loud, Graham finally left the stage.     In the years that followed her departure from the stage Graham sank into a deepdepression and she abused alcohol to numb her pain.
