With Thomas Dixon's s'Sins of the
Father" Company, Loses Life in
Surf Near Wilmington Sunday.

Robert Barton Pahr, aged 23, who
played the part Of the son in Thomas
DlxOn's play, The Sins of the
Father" as presente here last ek,
was drowned at Wrightsville Beach
Sunday afternoon while surf bathing.
The drowning occurred about half
past four O'Clock in full view of
several members of the company on
the beach, including Mr.. Dixon him
self. The three ladies were about to
go in the surf when the tragedy oc-
CURED. Heroic efforts were made to
save the young actor but in vain.
Two or three men reached him but
he was so exhausted that he could
not help himself. They managed to
keep his head above water for some
time until they them selves were
almost overcome. Before help
reached them n tremendous wave
struck them and they became sepa-
rated. Young Pahr was carried out
by the powerful nndertow and soon
disappeared from sight OF the horror
stricken onlookers. His body had
not been recovered at last accounts
Young Pahr, whose professional
name was Robert Barton. his given
name, was a native of Baltimore,
where his parents live. He is sur
vived also by a sister. The father
went Immediately to Wilmington
upon being advised of his son s death
The young man had for years been
inclined to go on the stage but his
parents had discouraged him. He
worked in dentists office but did
not seem to like that as profession.
About two years ago he appeared
one night in II theatre in his home
city with the Fawcett Stock Co.,
much to the surprise of his family
and friends. The young man showed
marked talent and soon got fine
engagement. This season came the
chance to play in Thomas Dixon's
company taking the part of the son
in ''The Sins OF the Eather," in which
he made decided hft..
From Wilmington where the COM
pany appeared Saturday night they
went to Fayetteville where they
played Monday night. That there
might be no interference with the en-
gagements made Mr.. Dixon took
young Pahr's place and acted the
part of the son. The papers state
that he did it we'll and won high hon
ors as actor as we'll as playwright.
Another man has been secured from
New. York and as soon as he can
learn his part he will go on with the
play.
Those who saw young Phar in the
play here and especially those who
met him socially are deeply touched
by his sad and tragic end. He was
bright young man. of agreeable per-
sonality, and readily made friends Of
those with whom he came in contact.
