He became i'll several weeks ago
AS he was about to board a ship
for a European vacation, and was
removed to the hospital on a

Terrence was considered one of
HollyWood's most versatile actors.
He could enact the role of the
most malevolent OF villains with
the same fineSse as that of kindly
patriarch.
Tall, loose jointed, big eyed, he
was one Of the most popular mem
bers Of the film colony.
Started as Pianist
Oddly, Terrence began his ca

burgh, Scotland, wtere he was
born. He was educated at private
and public schools and at the Edin-
burgh Academy of Music, the con-
servatorium at Stuttgart, Germany,
and the Royal Academy of Music
in London.
Despite his skill at the piano his
friends urged him to study voice,
and eventually he did He started
singing professionally in 1900, and
was awarded the Royal Academy of
Music medal for operate work. The
next year he became the leading
baritone of the Savoy Opera Com

Lured by offers of lucrative con-
tracts, Terrence went into musical
comedy.
Appeared in Many Successes
He came to the United States, and
became interested in motion pic
lures. Because of his stature-he
was 6 feet 4-and shaggy, over
hanging eyebrows, producers and
directors classified him as a ~'dirty
dog heavy"
This confinement to one type of
role made him unhappy, until Jesse

be a character actor
Among his film successes were

Red Gap" North of So" Peter
Pan, The King of Kings" and
"Mantrap." Recently he completed
work in Il Cover the Waterfront"
He is survived by a wife and e.

Alaska News at Wash. D. C..

WASHINGTON, D. C., April B. Seward day-March 30th-was an other Alaska Day at the Capltal. In commemoration of the 66tn an niversary of the purchase of Alas ka, the Delegate from Alaska asked leave of the House of Representa- tives to address it for 10 minutes, which was granted. The scheduled l0-minute talk, at the request of the different members, stretched out into nearly an hour, and devel-
 oped into a discussion of the eco- homie problem confronting Alas ka. MT. Dimond was frequently interrupted by members who de- sired information on the Territory. At one point of the address the Delegate was asked, point blank, by Representative Rankin of Mlsslss- ippi if he were satisfied with the administration of MT. OMalley, and his prompt response was: NO,
