JAMES p. MCCARTHY,
OLD HERALD MAN, DEAD
Head of Brooklyn Bureau,
Later on Telegram

James p. Mccarthy. a member OF the
editorial staff of The EUenin0 Telegram,
and widely known in newspaper circles
died of pneumonia late Sunday night in
the POSTGRADUATE Hospital follow
ing an operation for appendicitis
He was fifty years old. For more than
fifteen years Mr.. Mccarthy was IN
charge of the Brooklyn bureau Of THE
New YORK HERALD, but Joined the staff
OF The Evening Telegram when THE
NEW YORK HERALD was consolidated
with The Sun.
Mr.. Mccarthy was born in Worcester
Mass. where his body, was taken last
night for burial. He began his newspa-
per work In Boston. returning to his
home town after some years to become
managing editor of The Worcester Tele-
gram After several years at this post
he wandered about the country. working
in various cities and absorbing the expe-
rience and the knowledge that later
made him an unusually fine judge Of
news and of newspaper men.
Between fifteen and twenty years ago
Mr.. Mccarthy came to Brooklyn, where
he obtained a position as reporter on
the staff OF The Standard Union. A few
years later he went with the NEW YORK
HERALD as a member OF the staff in the
Brooklyn bureau. During his service in
brooklyn Mr.. Mccarthy covered and
wrote many notable stories, but perhaps
the most unusual thing he did was to
introduce the BLACK Hand" to newspa-
per readers of the United States. This
was when he was covering a murder in
the italian quarter in Brooklyn. He
gave graphic description of the ebony
hand drawn on the wall of the tenement
IN which the murder had been com
mitted, and ever since then the symbol
has become recognized as that of n kill
ing in an Italian feud.
Eleven years ago Mr.. Mccarthy mar
ried Miss Jessie Howell Jaycox of Cow
ington. Ky. She survives him, together
with five sisters and brother, Charles
Mccarthy, who Is employed in the
Brooklyn Bureau of The World. At
Worcester the body will be taken to the
home of James Walsh In 315 Grafton
street. from where the funeral will be
held tomorrow morning.

the little theatre down In Macdougal

its sheer lnanity. The piece was attrib-

Her Family Tree"
Will Take Root

Her Family Tree" should more prop
erly be called Her Family Party" for
Nora Rayes. in the fantastic play with
music" in which she began her own per-
sonally conducted tour at the Lyric last
night frisked and flirted and gambolled
and gurgled as though the folks in the
audience were just folks and she had in
yited them in to spend the evening.
The spectators reciprocated and ap-
plauded her DANGEROUSLY when she
tripped in first, armor plated in gor-
geous squirrel coat-the applause being
for Nora and not the coat, of course.
And Miss Bayes seemed constantly on
the best of terms with her enthusiastic
and swiftly moving company, eXchang-
ing many bright and CHEEKY offhand
word and in one instance gagging so
freely and amusingly with Miss Florence
Morrison, who is a sort of animated
background to Miss Bayess shows, that
Miss Morrison went up in her lines.
The scene when this occurred, called
"The Day Of Knights, happened also
to be the prettiest and most diverting
in the piece. The trappings lent them
selves agreeably to burlesque, and Miss
Bayes had some happy moments with
Frank Morgan, as smother, Knight, who
had 10 be carried out in n wheelbarrow
In order that a valet might dismantle

Always Miss Bayes's delightful sense
Of drollery stayed with her--and she
can be more archly amusing with her
elbow than many a comedian twisting a

her voice went from her nobly. as she

wise very entertaining in a skit with
Morgan and AL Roberts on type OF
Western thriller.
The arid spot came in the inevitable
Chinese incident, relieved. however. by
an intricably novel and alluring dance

tai deity, who was evidently the great
god Ho-Kitpt Why must musical com

soon as they start crystal gazing? a
magic crystal globe is used to make the
piece conform 20 the great historical
model of "As You Were" so that a ro'
mantlcally inclined young man can se'
whether Miss Bayes in her previous in
carnations was really the Nora Bayes o.
his dreams. She is. especially in tho
Noah's Ark incident, where a realistic
food raises her to her own jazzy level
And naturally she sings rollickinl
song "Ouija Board" which, seemed
likely to please. although it is already
getting ouija bored
