pairing to sail for Honolulu. For several
weeks the great actor has been in a
precarious condition at private hospital
in this city and those who knew and ad-
mired him shook their heads obviously
and SOrTOWfully anticipated the demise
of one of the few remaining actors that
link the days of Booth and Barrett with
the present.
