Home for the King.

In the Summer of 1891 Prince George,
then a twenty commander
in the British Navy, visited his elder
brother, the Duke of Clarence, in Dub
lin. There he became desperately Ill OF
tvphoid fever, but his robust constitu-
ton served him WELL He recovered IN
time to stand beside the death bed OF
his brother, who, at the same time, had
contracted pneumonia. His brothers
death made him heir to the British
throne.
Today's reassuring bulletins from
Buckingham Palace strengthen hope
that the Kings remarkable vitality has
carried him over the critical stage Of
his present illness. At sixty-three, he
retains some of the recuperative powers
of his youth, for his doctors who signed
this mornings bulletin aSsuredly base
their optimism on scientific observation,
and not upon hope alone. Throughout
his illness the frank and intimate ma
ture of these terse bulletins has been
notable. Fully cognizant OF the de-
preston throughout the empire to re-
suit from bad news from the sickroom,
the Kings physicians apparently held
nothing back. Their royal patient be-
longed to his subjects. who had right
to know.
King George entered the Navy as
cadet when he was only twelve years
old. He won distinction for his athletic
prowess, commanded his own ship at
sea and for years rose at six o'clock in
the morning and was in bed by nine In
the evening. His love of sports and the
years he spent in the open air may yet
give back to Britain beloved ruler
who, a few days ago, seemed standing
at deaths door. America shares the JOY
of her cousin over the good news.

No More Privacy
For Herbert Hoover

From the Terre Haute Star.
Herbert C. Hoover and members OF
his family must feel deeply moved by
the overwhelming vote Of confidence
the American people have given In
selecting the former cabinet member to
direct the deStinies of the Nation for
four years. 1t is the greatest honor
that can come to any citizen and 1t Is
particularly gratifying to see 1t pc
slowed on the man who faced life with
serious handicaps, but who worked his
way through college to become world
famous as a. mining engineer.
While resting from the arduous labors
Of the campaign and contemplating the
task he will assume next March, Mr..
Hoover must experience tlnge OF
regret over the loss of that freedom
which has heretofore marked his COM
ing and going. Prior to the verdict OF
the American people he was simply
private citizen, not an ordinary one
by any means, but unhampered by any
Of the surveillance which attends the
movements of the great All OF that
is now ended and his privacy recalls
the familiar reference to that OF the
goldfish.
When Mr.. Hoover takes one of his
accustomed strolls his steps are dogged
by Secret Service men and the roads
leading to his residence are guarded by
other operatives. The President-elect
is no longer a private citizen, but one
who must be shielded from the
curiosity seeker and the crank. Hun
dreds Of folk already have sought a
glimpse of the next Executive. Others
eager for selfish advancement would
grasp IAN opportunity to press their
fancied claims for recognition. The
constant attendance of Secret Service
men will no doubt prove somewhat irk-
some, but 1t Is one of the penalties
imposed on those who attain that
exalted ONCE.

Roberts Success
In Films Inevitable

From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
A man who could make stand out
strikingly on the speaking stage char
acter that uttered only few unintelli-
gible words and that expressed itself
chiefly with grunts. gestures and pos
lures was tailormade for success In mo-
ton pictures. Almost a quarter Of a
century ago Theodore Roberts eSsayed
the role Of an Indian chief in william
Faversham's production of "The squaw
Man." That gripping melodrama of
the West proved a tremendous success
under Faversham'S artistic leadership.
And no small part of its triumph was
due to the work of Theodore Roberts.
Even before this great characteriza-
ton Roberts had shown an artistic ver-
satility as marked as his specialized
excellence. He had done the romantic
thing with James O'Neill, the comic
with william II. Crane and others and
the classic in several productions of
Shakespeare. The list Of his successes
runs pretty well the ganut Of stage
expresSionism. And on the screen The
odore Roberts was even more successful.
1t was inevitable that a man who
could make a great character picture
out Of grunts and gestures would be
able to differentiate character shadings
with nothing else than black cigar.
In motion picture dramas Theodore
Roberts has made his cigar just as ex-
pressive as makeup, costumes and prop
critics are with many other delineatorS
Of character types. In a career of al
most so years on stage and screen he
established himself as one OF the coun-
trys outstanding character actors.
And his passing will be mourned by
millions of Americans who have re-
ceived amusement, entertainment and
thrills from his work. Memphis joins
the whole Nation in feryent requiescat
in pace.
