LONDON, Nov. 23.-Sir Arthur Pinero. famous playwright, is dead, passing away at Nursing Home.
 Sir Arthur Pinero was as fa- nous for his shyness as he was as a dramatiSt. He was as diff cult to interview as Kiping, as bashful as Barrie, and hated tele- phones worse than Bernard Shaw Thomas Hardy and H. G. Wells all rolled up together. He was cre- ated Knight by the late King Edward VII in 1909

 Pinero began his public career as an actor. But he did not care for the stage, particularly because he had to speak words written by other persons, so he took to writing his own plays and appeared him. self, for a time, in them.
 His little skits, written for him. self-mostly one act affairs-serv- ed as stepping stones to his great [ CT success as a dramatic author
 Sir Arthur, when he first branch ed out as dramatist, produced his own plays. And every play of his was acted as he himseli would have acted every part. Il was a Pinero performance through. out
 Roaring Director
 Actors and actresses feared him He used to sit in the front row: and thunder out orders like a gen. eral directing his soldiers. If there were any voice infections in tn, play, as finally produced, the in. factions were as Sir Arthur him. self would have produced them and not as the actor might thinl they should be done
 Cricket Is Recreation
 In later years, he seldom ap peared in public. excepting at { cricket match now and then. Thi! was his chief recreation. Pinert did not attend the big games where there would be tens of thou. sands of spectators, but was fonc of seeking out second or thirc grade games on the village greens Selecting a seat somewhere off 1T corner, he would feast his eye and wind on the action of the play If any one attempted to interrup him, he would roar at the intru.
