Former BOstOnian
Dies In California

Word has reached Boston of
the death in Los Angeles, Cali

former Bostonian of many years.
Funeral services were held on
August 5 with interment in
Evergreen cemetery there.
Many will remember Charles
P. Russell and his first wife,
Mrs. Mary Russell, also deceased,
when they maintained an hos
pitable home on Sawyer ST., and
were active in community and
racial affairs. Mr.. Russell'S last
address here was on Hammond
st. After leaving Boston he lived
a few years in Syracuse, N Y,
then moved to the West Coast,
settling in Los Angeles, Californ-
ia. There he and his second
wife, an old family friend, en-
joyed life in a beautiful home
and made frequent trips round
about California. The Guardian

PERFECT CAST FOR "OTHELLO"
OPENING MONDAY AT SHUBERT

The Theatre Guilds "Othello7
which comes to the Shubert
Theatre on Sept. IL for l week
presented a number of casting
problems. Margaret Webster and
Paul Robson who first con-
ceived this present production
some years ago were convinced
that the jealous Moor should be
played by a colored actor. Did
not the Bard continuously refer
to "Othello" as black, and "sooty
boSomed"? only once before had
the role been attempted by a
black man and that was in an
obscure production more than
fifty years ago. And even though
Mr.. Robson portrayed the Moor
in London with great success
back in 1880, American man
ayers were too tfnid to risk
their money in such controv-
ersial venture. With the help Of
John Haggett who had long been
associated with the Theatre
Guild, Miss Webster and Mr..
Robson took their brainchild to
the summer theatre circuit and
opened in Cambridge with such
electrifying results that over
night a dozen Broadway produ-
GERS were clamoring for the pri-
vilege of presenting it in New
York.
The role of Iago, too, offered
certain handicaps. In every
other production of "Othello"

ing Christmas boxes, letters and
cards which have gone to England
and returned to the studio where
he is now editing several film shorts
taken in England.
According to all the fan mail
guardians, the psychology Of fan
letters to the stars in service has
undergone a radical change from
those written to them In civilian
days. Somehow the fans seem to
feel that because a player is in the
armed forces he has more time to
answer, and accordingly the letters
strike highly personal note. They
ask him for advice, how he likes
military life and they request him
to look up relatives in the service.
It's noteworthy that a curious re-
versal Of the old custom OF writing
for a movie actors photograph has
taken place in, these strange current
times. Many photogenic fans are
sending their own pictures along
with letters to the star in uniform.
