the hospital that he had recovered from

of levity In his tone. but It was belied by
the weary look in his eyes, the unusual
whiteness of his hair and the pallor of his
face. Those who heard did not smile in
answer as they clasped his hand, for they
knew the tragedy that lay behind the
seemingly simple sentences. They knew
that Mcguire was to be taken TO the Skin
and Cancer Hospital, there to have his
tongue cut out from the very roots 1t
was the only hope OF saving his life.
SMOKED EXCESSIVELY.
Excessive smoking had brought about
his condition. For many years Mr.. Nc
CURE has smoked from twenty-five to
thirty cigars a day. His friends tried to
dissuade him from the habit, but he would
not heed them. Even at the last moment
he stood about the box office of the -Four

one, n it was not until a late hour that
he finally said his last good-by and quietly
walked home alone. NO one was waiting ra1

Although for a long time MCGUIRE has
suffered from a troublesome growth at
the base of his tongue-he attributed it to
a slight irritation caused by smoking and
did not regard 1t as serious. OF late,
however, the affection assumed such pro-
portions hat he could no longer ignore

HAIR TURNED WHITE.
His friends in the theatrical business
throughout the country did not learn the
truth until a few days ago. but those who
were In touch with him. in New York saw
that he was laboring under some great
distress. In six weeks they watched his
hair slowly turn TO a perfect white, his
cheeks became sunken and his eyes hol-
low, but never once did they notice any
failing OF his customary lively spirits.
Mcguire was treasurer Of the Baldwin
Theater and the California Theater in
