James the stage has lost one
of it's most conspicuous
lights. For not only was
Mr.. James one of our best
actors, but as man, pure
and simple, he was held in
the highest regard by all
who knew him.
He was one of that old
school of actors that the
passing years are taking
from us one by one. Those
men and women who. in the
years gone by, when life
upon the stage was not the

revered Shakespeare, his
plays and his characters:
men and women who
through all discouragements
and vicissitudes labored on
in presenting his creations
to an all too often unappre-
ciative public.
And as these grand old
men and women are being
taken from us one by one we
mourn them and revere their
memory, for there seems to
be no new generation TO
take their places.
