Hampden Aids Son
To a Stage Career

Few fathers are willing to have
their sons follow in their footsteps
or take up the same line of work.
When a youth, Walter Hampden,
who is going to present his Ham
let" at the Shubert-Garrick next
Monday afternoon, met with much
opposition from his parents when he
determined to embark upon stage
career. He succeeded, however, and
while playing Shakespearean roles
in England he met and, married
Mabel Moore. one of London's best
known leading women.
Last year, Paul Hampden, the
youthful son of Mr.. Hampden, an
nounced that he. too, desired to be-
come an actor. Instead of the usual
firm order to put all such ideas out
of his head, the son met with a
hearty response and was afforded
an opportunity to play a minor role.
1t was not that his father was
especially anxious that his son be-
come an actor but because he knew
that opposition would only
strengthen the boys determination.

New York, April 9.-Sidney Drew.

moving-picture screen, died today
at his home here.
MIR. Drew was appearing with
his wife in the play, Keep Her
Smiling in Detroit last week.
when he became i'll. Against the
advice of physicians he insisted
upon being brought to his home in
this city, and his condition rapidly
grew worse. The cause OF death
was given by his physician as Ure-
mia, due TO nephritis.
Mr.. Drew, who was a native of
New York, was "a years old.
Mr.. Drew was an adopted broth
cr of John Drew. the actor He
was educated in the University OF
Pennsylvania. but left that institu-
tion before graduation to go on
the stage. After a successful ca
reer as a comedian i'm the spoken

he entered the motion picture field.
and there repeated his successes
before the footlights.
4 son, Sidney Rankin Drew. by
j his first wife, who was Miss
Gladys Rankin. was killed in aerial
combat. in France. After the death
of his first wife he married Lucille
McVey. with whom he had been
appearing in motion pictures
About a year ago they returned to
the spoken drama, and have since
been appearing together.
Local motion-picture circles were
shocked yesterday by the news of
Sidney Drew's death. Drew's work
on the screen made him one of the
most popular of screen stars in
Washington. and Paramount-Art-
craft officials. in particular. were
dunfounded by the news of his
passing. Mr.. and Mrs. Drew had
been working on pictures for this
concern at the time of Mr.. Drew's
illness. Neither officials of the
Paramount Corporation nor OF the
Palace Theater here. where all
Drew comedies were given their
first Washington showing. had any
news of Mrs. Drew's plans for the
future.
